Half a year from now my top-5 list of songs may be entirely different, but as of this moment in time, these are the ones that rock my world.
Rescue Me – Reynettes
Dink’s Song – Dave van Ronk
Summer Wine – Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood
Mexico – The Ventures
Heavy Bells – J Roddy Walston & the Business
Yours?
-Removed-I am a Led Zeppelin fan from way back, even though I was born a year or so after they broke up.
I am fascinated by "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do", which, until 1990, was only available as the B-side to the "Immigrant Song" 45 rpm single (outside the UK, sorry). I recall there was a video on YouTube a while back showing some kittens in viking helmets rowing a boat thru the waves to "Immigrant Song". It was awesome.
There are too many good Zep songs, but my top 5 would be:
Kashmir
When the Levee Breaks (go, Bonzo, go!)
Ramble On (points for mentioning Gollum and Mordor)
Immigrant Song (way, WAY too short)
Hey, Hey, What Can I Do
Going to California
Battle of Evermore
I know, it's 7, not 5, sue me.

Andrea Vadrucci - Super Mario Bros 2 theme (I'm a drummer and former video gamer, so I'm biased towards this stuff)

Agadoo by Black Lace
Driving rhythm and sharp witty lyrics make this a classic.
Cheeky Song by The Cheeky Girls
Overtly sexual but with a sensual hidden message in the lyrics.
Barbie Girl by Aqua
Clever condemnation of consumerism set to wonderfully rich melodies.
Ebony & Ivory by McCartney and Wonder
The song that single-handedly ended apartheid
Shaddap your Face by Joe Dolce
This classic ballad kept Ultravox's Vienna off the number 1 spot in 1981.
I heartily recommend them all.
