U2 song One contains the nation's favourite lyric - "One Life, with Each Other Sisters, Brothers" - according to a poll of a music TV station's viewers.
The 1992 song, re-released in collaboration with R&B singer Mary J Blige, beat lyrics from legends like the Beatles and David Bowie to newcomers such as the Arctic Monkeys.
The Smiths' angst-ridden lyric "So You Go, And you Stand On Your Own. And you Leave on Your Own" from the track How Soon is Now? took second place in the poll of over 13,000 music fans.
Cult band Nirvana follows in third place with Smells Like Teen Spirit and the line "I Feel Stupid and Contagious, Here we are Now, Entertain Us".
Industry professionals and musicians, from Noel Gallagher to Jon Bon Jovi, chose their personal favourites in the countdown for VH1.
