I know I'm in the minority but what is with the love for Ke Sanh? One of the most overrated songs of all time IMESHO

Flame Trees is the best Cold Chisel song by a long, long way. Actually highlights what a very good vocalist Jimmy Barnes is when he isn't trying to scream

As for the number 1... well .....  :chuck :chuck :chuck :chuck.... and if you've ever been to a Port home game you will know why. Seriously, if you liked it before after sitting through a Port Adelaide prematch with it blaring your love will very quickly turn to  :chuck :chuck (btw I've always hated it)
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

from the song "Don't Walk Away" by Pat Benatar 1988 (Wide Awake In Dreamland)

Heard it once heard it a million times. Just doesn't have the repeat value for me
