Best rock song of all times

Only one answer please.
Not the best written or the best musical complexity but the one that represents the rock.

My choice: Satisfaction - Rolling Stones

Reasons:
- first notes are like the 5th of Beethoven (when you hear those notes, everybody pumps up the volume)
- still very up to date
- a mix of rock and blues rock and Motown sound
- lyrics talks about disatisfaction of young people vs life, politics, money and women (even B Dylan like that song)
- music is very basic as a good rock song should be

I don't know if this qualifies as Rock,exactly;but I would vote for Sugar Sugar by the Archies
2nd--Rockin' Love,by Josie Cotton
Another Good one:I Get Around by a band called the Beach Boys.They were pretty good.

You people picked some good ones. I don't own any Stones cds, but I like Heart Breaker.
Spirit of Radio from Rush is great too, but I'll throw a curve and say Squonk from Genesis. Hell the whole cd (Trick of the Tail) is great!
Back in Black cd is pretty rock'n.
Queen never did it for me.
