It's impossible for me to name just one, but a few come quickly to mind:
Stars of the Lid - Even If You're Never Awake / Even (Out)
Orbital - Attached
Joanna Newsom - Emily
Slint - Washer
Aphex Twin - Flim

Man this could go on and on and on...

This is a massively under-appreciated song(s), and I'd have to put it among my top three favorites ever.

Hmm, not sure if this is the 'most beautiful ever made' but I'll put in the ranks of something like that I suppose.

Swans - God Damn The Sun

Kim Milford - Justice

This is the very nice Computer Liebe from Kraftwerk that I never got out of my head since back then.
Note the german original.
Note the infantile loveliness.
What begins @03:22 I never want to end...

Another thing I never want to end and I have the feeling neither the producers who had to fit it on 12" vinyl:
Paul St. Hilaire & René Löwe - Faith (Vox Mix)...

...pretty much floating into the B-Side (No Vox Mix)...

I'd nominate Pandora and Those Eyes, That Mouth by the Cocteaus and Still Return by Harold Budd and Brian Eno.

I can't give one straight up, it's impossible to choose, and so many songs are beautiful in different ways.

I'll just highlight one I'm very fond of:

A Warm Place, by NIN.

also

Sine Wave, by Mogwai.

Same tune, from a different point of view each.
