Jethro Tull Aqualung
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Maybe it sounds terribly commercial, but; Owner Of A Lonely Heart.
Great guitar riff, very powerful song, lots of elements in the song, many productional details...
After many years of listening to the song, I keep turning up the volume when the song comes on the radio.

Aqualung above all. Special mention to Moody blues and Yes.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Probably the 2nd most well-known track out of the list, and a staple of classic rock radio now.  Close enough to the same thing as a hit.

I vote Hocus Pocus, which was a hit, is quite marvellous too and is possibly the most uncommercial track ever to reach the charts.

You are correct, Aqualung the song was never a single and therefore never a hit. Living in The Past was Tull's biggest hit.

I'm with you with Hocus Pocus.

Silent Lucidity just over Hocus Pocus and Owner of a Lonely Heart.

As much as I love Aqualung, Justin's voice reigns supreme, so Nights In White Satin gets my vote.

Not an actual charting single but Tull's most well-known track and it gets played more on the radio than an actual single like "Living in The Past." Floyd's "Money" was in the same poll and although it was released as a single, I don't think it did that well. Nonetheless, it was one of the major reasons why DSOTM became so popular.

I concur.
I co-concur and throw in Nights in White Satin as a near third.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
