While perhaps not best ever, 'For You' off Love Beach is f**king good. And I challenge anyone here to say honestly that Carl Palmer does not rule on that album.
For best ever, Il Balletto Di Bronzo's La Tua Casa Commoda strikes me as being especially good but not quite as excellent as 10cc's Blackmail or (if we're going more by sales success) I'm Not In Love, which is actually very experimental - more so than most of the bands we don't leave in PR.

Well, since the Beatles are included on this site as a prog band, I'll nominate "Love Me Do"

No, but the Final Countdown is prog pop song. Listen to those synthesizers in the beginning! And it's about migrating away from earth to a galaxy far far away. It doesn't get any more prog than that.

I hadn't really listened to The Final Countdown until Arrested Development, but I have to admit, it's so bad it wraps around and becomes one of the best songs ever. To a less extent, so does Take On Me. And I can't decide whether I like What Is Love ironically or seriously.

I remember also "Heat of the Moment" by Asia (great hit) and "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles.

I like the second choice although from Asia I would prefer 'Cutting It Fine' which has a little bit more appeal to me.

"Hocus Pocus" by Focus was HUGE in Chicago when it first came out! It was played about 3 times per hour!!
Also, "Small Beginnings" by Flash was a single that charted nicely. It was fun as hell to hear these songs out of a tiny car AM radio speaker back in the early 1970's! Not to mention "Roundabout"!

There are quite a few, like "Spirit of Water" from Moonmadness, "Tell Me" from Raindances, or "Shout' from Rajaz and many others, but they never really got radio play.
