I'll go for "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Paul Simon...it was also good enough to influence Paul McCartney to write "Let It Be," another great song, but one that has had a much lesser influence in my own life.

Well... I will say that on two seperate occasions, back in my youth, I was pulled out of a dead sleep by a song on my little AM radio.
The first time it was 'Imagine'.
The second time it was 'A Day In The Life'.
This was way before I knew much about the Beatles, so there was no bias involved.

(Nothing pulls me out of a dead sleep except for the smell of smoke, physical pain, or spectral voices. :D )

I think in my twisted, little mind the best tune ever written is... (drum roll)

Bridge of Sighs by Robin Trower.

1st time I heard it, I thought it was Hendrix. I listened to it a few hundred times and then one night we tried to play it. WE got a different version and I swear it felt surreal. (We were recording, but ran out of tape and didn't know it)

It's always the crap that gets recorded and some of the best stuff you intend to record always gets lost. (no more tape, kicked plug out of wall accidentally and didn't notice, batteries died, mic improperly setup, the list goes on and on)

The Bridge of Sighs, that song, and a little herb, zoom into zero gravity man. what a sound. That whole lost recording thing is like getting a hole in one, no one sees.

i would say "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd. In my mind it's the most beautiful.

Lyrically, I submit to the forum: Rush's "Anagram(for Mongo)", from the album Presto as one of, if not THE most brilliant pieces of song writing I've ever read.
In each line of the song, a word appears, and is an anagram for other words in the same line. Each line makes sense and is grammatically correct in respect to itself.
That being said, see for yourselves...

"Anagram (For Mongo)"

There's a snake coming out of the darkness
Parade from paradise
End the need for Eden
Chase the dreams of merchandise

There is tic and toc in atomic
Leaders make a deal
The cosmic is largely comic
A con they couldn't conceal

There is no safe seat at the feast
Take your best stab at the beast
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

Raise the art to resistance
Danger dare to be grand
Pride reduced to humble pie
Diamonds down to sand

Take heart from earth and weather
The brightness of new birth
Take heart from the harvest
Shave the harvest from the earth

Reasoning is partly insane
Image just an eyeless (i less) game
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

Miracles will have their claimers
More will bow to Rome
He and she are in the house
But there's only me at home

Rose is a rose of splendor
Posed to respond in the end
Lonely things like nights,
I find, end finer with a friend

I hear in the rate of her heart
A tear in the heat of the art

The night turns thin
The saint turns to sin
