signature songs

[Dominic]

name a group and their signature song...the one song that is most associated with that group
example:

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

easy right?

But what about The Beatles? I Wanna Hold Your Hand or Hey Jude?

Satisfaction or Jumpin' Jack Flash for The Stones?

Not so easy all the time...

What about...

Smashing Pumpkins?
Pearl Jam?
Journey?
The Pixies?

[econophile]

stones - satisfaction
beatles - difficult to say, maybe "hard day's night" is a better choice than your suggestions

I think the signature Beatles song is Yesterday.

It's definitely one of their most popular but I can't think of it as their signature song because it doesn't really sound like any of their other stuff. I'd probably go with Hey Jude.

"Yesterday" is I believe the most-covered song that is not yet public domain. So hard to pick against it. It's hard with the Beatles because there are so damn many.

also, for beach boys do you go with
california girls
or
good vibrations

[Mister Peanut]

For The Beatles, picking one is tough. Maybe:

I Wanna Hold Your Hand
She Loves You
Hey Jude
Yesterday

is an okay nomination list.

Floyd - Money or ABITW, II.

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

Radiohead - Karma Police... maybe Paranoid Android.

Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade

The Who - My Generation w/ Baba as close second.

I think Rage should be Killing in the Name.

White Stripes-Seven Nation Army

The Strokes-Last Nite

STP-Plush

Sublime-What I Got or Date Rape

I think Pearl Jam's is without a doubt Jeremy

rage will be wake up 10 years from now (if not now) just because of the matrix. its a better song than killing anyways.

wake up is probably their best song, i don't know if your prophecy will come true but we can hope.

also, the sabbath issue is clouded by "Iron Man"
