The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
Does it though?
I don't know if this is really THE BEST, but it's one of my favorite songs...
America - Ventura Highway
Is my answer limited to songs, or can pieces be included? A song has words to go with the music, a piece doesn't. 
Original version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is one of the best acoustic guitar songs.

One of the first ones that comes to mind is Bob Dylan - Knockin' on Heavens Door.
