In the week Brian Wilson died this has to be Song of the Week. Brian, who featured in a previous Song of the Week with the anguished 'Still I Dream of It', wrote many great songs - and it's worth checking out all the obituaries which link to them if you don't know his work - but 'Good Vibrations' is the pinnacle. 

Six months to record, six separate movements in three minutes, the use of the Electro-Theremin (that whirring sound) and a wikipedia page that, well, just goes on and on (the song is just over three and a half minutes long).
