No, just no.

Not even close.

I wouldn't even call it the best Avenged Sevenfold song, much less the best ever. But it's okay.
"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

I'm not sure if your "No politics" in the thread title meant you didn't want the discussion of politics to mar the appreciation of the music presented, or whether you were saying that no political expression should be in the songs themselves.
It would be next to impossible for me to adhere to the latter when talking about my favorite singer/songwriter. Very little of what Phil Ochs did was non-political, although he preferred to call himself a "topical" singer.
It would also be next to impossible for me to say which of his songs are the best ever, but here are three nominations:
Pleasures of the Harbor
Crucifixion
Ringing of Revolution
