Music is too subjective, with brain formation/environment/nostalgia playing a big part in how a person views a certain song or genre.

Though it is possible to pick apart technically poor songs (auto-tune, lazy rhyming, etc), most people don't realize much of modern pop(ular) music, spanning all genres, uses a very similar chord progression.

Our brains are obviously trained to find the progression pleasing, even if we don't particularly like specific songs that use it.

That being said, the only answer to the perfect song is anything by Air Supply.

I like simplicity:

Eddie Vedder - Rise

 

[Scotteq]

Since the Op mentioned sounding simple, but having deeper layers as you listen into the song...

Doesn't get much deeper than Flamenco Sketches, even if you don't like jazz.

[Fanatical Meat]

Black Sabbath cover Supernaut by 1000 Homo DJ's, it has:
Nobody ever took credit for who snag it (could have been Trent Reznor but he violated a contract if he did)
crazy premise
odd new reporting in the song
a real crazy sound

Easier to name worst song ever, but best is undeniably the most popular song in the world which coincidentally also has one of the best backstories regardless if you believe the underlying religious belief. If you're talking popular music, then I'm a sucker for singer-songwriter stuff and have always loved this one even though it's probably not technically challenging.

 

[bradley]

Digital Undergound "Humpty Dance"

Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock - It Takes Two

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger

 

[John Connor]

I have a ton really. Be hard to pick just one. I'll chose this one.
