My answer would be Take The Time by Dream Theater. Last.fm counts over 225 times and that represents only a fraction of my music listening. The only thing wrong with this song is the overprocessed snare sound.

Another one worth mentioning is Прощай, Норфолк! by Ария. The band is relatively unknown outside of the Russian speaking world. The sound is very NWOBHMish but very very cool. Simply gotta love it. Was a dream come true when they visited Finland for the first time last May. And I can hardly understand ten words in their lyrics!
