Several possibilities
Nightrain by GnR - One of their most under-rated and never ever fails to get me going. The whole thing encapsulates the period excess and GnR for me.

All Along the Watchtower by Jimi H - apart from the spellbinding guitarwork it just swells perfectly into itself with stellar drumming. Not sure if this counts because it's a cover.

Bad Boy Boogie by AC/DC - I think it's DC's greatest ever work. Perfect hard rock with the best mix of blues tone they did.

Last but by no means least

Gimme Shelter by the Stones - this song makes me funny in all the right places. Phwoar. Especially love the bit where Merry Clayton's voice snaps. So much fucking passion. Woof.
