Struggling for five...how about 20:
Beach Boys - Good Vibrations, God Only Knows
Beatles - Hey Jude, Eleanor Rigby, A Day In The Life, Norwegian Wood, In My Life
James - Laid
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence
T-Rex - Cosmic Dancer
Verve - Bittersweet Symphony, The Drugs Don't Work
Furniture - Brilliant Mind
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here
Drifters - Stand By Me, Save The Last Dance For Me
Bob Dylan - Knockin' On Heaven's Door
....and a nice chilled track that I've been listening to lately-
Mazzy Star - Five String Serenade
tomorrow they will be different, that's what makes music so great.

Floyd are one of those bands, their songs are like operas! Bit embarrassed that I only mentioned one Dylan song as there's so many others.

Here's a link to a list of best songs ever with results compiled from other polls, for your amusement:
http://www.everyhit.com/bestever.html
heres Rolling Stone magazine's list
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/500songs
I disagree with those lists but how and ever.
Here's some of my favourites:
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Don McLean - American Pie
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
Beach Boys - Good Vibrations, God Only Knows
Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil, Gimme Shelter
Beatles - Hey Jude, A Day In The Life, Strawberry Fields Forever
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Probably lots I forgot.
I'll try to narrow it down to five later.

1. Cream - White Room
2. Pink Floyd - Another Brick in The Wall (Part 2) (This one also encompasses Happiest Days of our Lives to me, since they flow perfectly into one another)
3. The Beatles - You Never Give Me Your Money
4. Peter Gabriel - Red Rain
5. The Beatles - Good Day Sunshine
I could go on for a long time, but this gives a pretty good impression of what I spend my time listening to. I have to include a 6th though,
6. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Hey Joe
