Ha, that question isn't possible to answer.

Prioritizing lyrics? You're going to want something poetic that emphasizes vocals and is probably fairly modern. If you want vocal or instrumental technique you'll probably go for a classical or jazz song. It's hard to come up with a song that has some sort of perfect mash of great lyrics, stunning technique, excellent vocals, and is easy to listen to all at once. Like... I could say that The Decemberists have some really great songs in terms of lyrics but let's face it, those vocals are definitely not for everyone. Spem in Alium is a beautiful song (I found the King's Singers version of the song years and years ago and when I first played it for someone, they started crying from it) but it doesn't have instruments and its lyrics are just religious text in the form of an extremely complex round that turns the song more into a pure interplay of vocal sound than a song with a message you're supposed to get. Metal songs can have extraordinary percussive performances but their vocals often leave something to be desired for people. Complexity is impressive but not necessarily as impactful or memorable as starkness (I think a lot of Beatles songs are pretty good examples of this), and one is not necessarily "better" than the other.

*shrug* If you're just asking for music recommendations, that's different, lol.

According to Jack Black, the whole point of "Tribute" is that there isn't a "greatest and best song in the world", at least not that everyone can agree on. IIRC, the song he was trying to use as an example of "best song" to Kyle was "One" by Metallica.

When they play the song on the Tenacious D HBO series it transitions into stairway to heaven briefly and then back to tribute.

So there's that.

So there's that.

If we are talking about Tenacious D, the answer is Stairway to Heaven. Not really up for debate. The song also leans heavily on Stairway as an influence.
