    I think the best would be Jeremy by Pearl Jam and a very close second would have to be Fade to Black by Metallica.

    1) "Thriller" and "Jeremy" have probably the best music videos. The best commercial song could be for me "One".
    But I would give a special prize to "God".


    2) After each song, I give their ranking of the song in the following lists:
    - "BestSongsEver.com":
    http://www.bestsongsever.com/
    - "The RS 500 Greatest Songs of All Time":
    http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/11028260/the_rs_500_greatest_songs_of_all_time

    "N" means "not listed".

    Fade to Black by Metallica: 83, N
    Man on the Moon by REM: 331, N
    One by U2: 53, 36
    Jeremy by Pearl Jam: 528, N
    God by Tori Amos: N, N
    Thriller by Michael Jackson: 306, N

    According to both of those lists, the winner would be:
    - One by U2

    However, this kind of lists usually more reflect the opinions of the readers of the magazine, or of the web site, or of the TV Channel who is making those polls...

    For me, it would have to be an even tie between Man on the Moon and One.
    (The only reason I'm not picking one or the other is because they're so different stylistically).
