If it was based on money then I' d say  Girl From Ipanema, Beatles Yesterday and Bryan Adams Everything I do I do for you - based on airplay, how many times they have been recorded by other artists (mainly first 2 examples) and the income they generate

based on what I like then maybe to many examples but maybe

 Eagles Desparado
Dock of the bay by Otis
Land of a 100o dances - Wilson Pickett
FM - Steely Dan and maybe  anything by them
Bird of paradise - Snowy white - maybe one of the best tones ever from an LP

We Have All the Time in the World (another one from Hal David and John Barry)



Just a shame Cubby Brocolli ruined it.

Yes an awesome song - some say Louis was almost to ill to sing it and was one of his final recordings

almost any thing by Burt deserves praise - such a good song that even Cilla could sing it and only 1/2 destroy it

duotone

Fire & Rain by James Taylor
