What is the biggest hit that went so incredibly mainstream but diehard fans of "deep tracks only" still dig. Every time I see Metallica concert the crowd still gets wild for Enter Sandman. Is that the peak?

Easy.
"Where Is My Mind?" - Pixies

Okay, this wasn't released as a single so I don't think it can be considered a biggest hit. However, it has been used and covered so many times that it is most definitely not a deep cut. But a fantastic song with many really good cover versions.
Self Esteem, Offspring
Always close the show with it, crowd always loves it.

Tom Sawyer - Rush
Maybe there's a Rush fan out there somewhere that doesn't like Tom Sawyer, but I'd bet that fan is a particularly joyless individual.

Most of Daft Punks commercial hits fall in this category even their mass appeal stuff is still great .

Basketcase from Green Day is one I would definitely say. Couldn't tell you how many times I've heard that song and I can always listen to it.
Comfortably Numb
Thought of another one
Overkill by Men at Work arguably their greatest hit. It reached #3 in US but most people only would remember Land Down Under.
