Rules: You must of heard the song repetitively (50+ plays) and at least for 6 months without it getting stale like soda crackers.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge
impossible to tire of this song
"Head Home" by Midlake
One of my favorites songs ever, yet nobody's heard it. ;_;

Doubt these will be considered a classic to anyone else, but:
Kids - MGMT
Forever - Walter Meego
Baba Yetu - Christopher Tin
New Slang - The Shins

Weird, I'm actually listening to that... I would get tired of it, although it is good

There's a lot of songs from Oracular Spectacular that that to me sound like famous songs that've been around since forever, so I get what you mean. Those songs being Time to Pretend, Electric Feel, Kids, and Pieces of What

Kids - MGMT
I wouldn't even consider this a good song, but whatever.
The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize??
It's not even necessarily my favorite Lips song, but for some reason it still carries a real emotional effect for me even though I've listened to it a billion times in the last year

Why, it's so catchy
Kaz, Do You Realize is the official rock song of Oklahoma, so many would agree with you.

I still find it hilarious that they tried to stop it from being the official song because their bassist wore a hammer and sickle shirt to the acceptance ceremony thing. baddood;

Drive by Incubus
This is possibly my least favorite Incubus song. But that's me. If I were to pick a classic from them I'd either pick Wish You Were Here or Warning.
Or 11am :D

Volunteers -- Jefferson Airplane

Gimme Shelter -- Rolling Stones
if i had been going on what both i and the general public considers classics, this would've been in my list easily
Uh, 3 songs from my last.fm though the last 2 are mid to high 40s.
"Don't Leave" - CunninLynguists
"Revenge" - Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse
"Sudden Oak Death" - The Mountain Goats & John Vanderslice
"All the Little Pieces" by Louis XIV. Not really a great band, but such a wonderful song.
Live - Lightning Crashes
probably one of my favorite songs of all time
Songs I can never tire of would have to be...
Roulette Dares - The Mars Volta
Not even my favorite TMV song but For some reason it carries such enormous emotional power for me. It was one of the first songs I heard by them, and I just remember driving home from school the beginning of my senior year in the fall, listening to this, the leaves blowing across the road in front of me. Also How the song goes from hard-hitting and intense to incredibly sincere and heartfelt by the end. It's amazing.
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
One of my favorite songs ever. The lyrics, Buckley's angelic voice, the sentimental guitar playing. The whole song is just perfect to me. It almost brings tears to my eyes.
Stork & Owl - TV On the Radio
This song is so genuine I feel like they are playing it directly to me and only me. And the lyrics carry so much weight for me.
Hercules Theme - Hercules & Love Affair
Not nearly as emotional as the other 3, but the outro is just amazing. It gets me so pumped up.
Thriller - Michael Jackson
Idk, just an awesome, badass song.
Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
I love this song as well, although I prefer the Wainwright version because I heard it first

Yea I love the song in general, regardless of the performer, but Buckleys happens to be my favorite cause I absolutely love Buckley.
I like Leonard Cohen's version. It's the choral section in the background I think.
Cohen's voice is like a fuzzy spike through your brain.
