the best "song" 

HOWEVER

is asked
about the listed titles:
 
Which is 
the most important "song"
by each artist?
 
AND
one and only one title
is correct:
 
Chuck Berry's 
most important song is 
because sales of 
Maybelline Cosmetics
 spiked

performed the song
on a television show

AND
the conclusion was drawn
by the advertising industry
in the middle of the 
20th century:

primarily used by
white people

In the year 2025,
proof of this is available
wherever video advertising

favorite grocery store
is all Black and Latino"

    There is a parallel to be drawn here regarding the SUPER BOWL...
    The "Best Superbowl" is a matter of great debate
    BUT the Most Important Superbowl would have to be
    Superbowl III: when the New York Jets
    from the vastly inferior Amercan Football League
    upset the heavily-favored Baltimore Colts,
    giving enough legitimacy to the AFL
    to justify merging the two leagues
    into one
