I had this discussion at work the other day (yes I have a job, the kind where I can sit around and discuss trivial things like this), and I'm curious what you think is the perfectly written pop/rock song. I don't really count the Beatles 'cause most ALL of their songs are perfect. Here's 3 that top the list for me:

Cheap Trick - "Oh Caroline"

XTC - "Ten Feet Tall"

Tom Jones - "She's a Lady"

Nothin' fancy, no rippin' leads, no drum solos, no 15 minute opuses, just perfectly executed, "tight", 3-minute masterpieces.
(I'm kind of a prog-rocker myself, but I'm a sucker for a well crafted pop song).

PS I promise not to insult your choices......too much.
