Two songs that I can always count on to cheer me up after a shitty day are "Gimme Shelter" by the Stones and "Naive Melody" by Talking Heads (cliche, I know). "Do it Again" by Steely Dan is another one that comes to mind. Not really sure if any of these qualify as 'most beautiful' but they do the trick for me time and time again.
Love is Blue
Too many great songs to choose from but now that you mentioned Simon & Garfunkel, I'd pick Bridge over Troubled Water. Such an uplifting song and perfectly suitable for so many occasions, whether comforting someone who is ill or a wedding reception.
Take It Easy - The Eagles (written by Jackson Browne & Glenn Frey)
Gangnam Style
Andrea Bocelli - "Canto Della Terra"
I have no idea what he's saying, but damn he has the voice of an angel.
Van Morrison - Tupelo Honey
Great call. Brown Eyed Girl always puts me in a great mood as well. Can't believe I overlooked that one
Dire Straits
Money for Nothing
Shania Twain. I must hit that. The hottest MILF that isn't on Pornhub (yet).
anything with lil wayne
"Phobophile" by Cryptopsy

]I laughed. A lot, and hard.
It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves.
Unaccompanied Cello Suite No.1
The prelude is my favorite section
If we're including classical I would also throw in Siegfried Idyll.

If I had my itunes here I could keep going
For sake of not being particularly unique, I'll refrain from giving Moonlight Sonata as my answer (though for me, it is THE answer).
But on a personal level, Song to Say Goodbye by Placebo always gets me.
Jeff Buckley hallelujah
Main Theme from Jurassic Park by John Williams

Depends on whether you are talking about "good-mood-songs" or genuinely beautiful songs. For the latter: Ludovico Einaudi - "Nuvole Bianche" and "Primavera" :)

]haha... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. good thing I'm just in the library (NSFW).
Not exactly beautiful... but Dance w/ the Devil by Immortal Tech, anyone?
I'll co-sign that. The first verse in this song evokes a similar feeling. True story, based on his father.
