That's a nice melody by Ravel, Neapolitan!
I'd pick a lot of instrumental compositions by Beethoven and Bach and Telemann because they are highly melodious. Those melodies are the basics for pieces of all the following composers.
When it comes to vocal main-melodies I would say usually the aria of any opera has to be really beautiful. You won't understand a word of the lyrics of the song, but the melody will be stuck in your head.
The modern genres often sound pretty equally seen from their main melody. What I like about songs is the development or small elements in music, feeling or a concept etc.
It's hard to name a single song as there are lots of masterpieces, in general!
