Prince:

When Doves Cry.

Little Red Corvette or Purple Rain

Yeah, Prince is so freaking awesome any of those could be it. It's When Doves Cry for me though.

I think for most people it's When Doves Cry, even though that's not close to being my personal favorite ("When You Were Mine," anyone?)

Weezer - I think it's probably Say It Ain't So, actually. Although for the general public, fifteen years from now they're probably going to remember "Beverly Hills."

What about The Clash? Yuck I hate to think that it's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" or "Rock the Casbah," but it probably is. I would personally pick "Complete Control."

Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues
Parliament - Flashlight
Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London (too bad it's not Lawyers, Guns and Money)
The Band - The Weight

Should I stay or should I go is the only contender to Casbah. neither are anywhere near their best work.

hard ones to call: Tom Petty, Neil Young, Beatles (Hey Jude?), Pink Floyd (Comfortably Numb or WYWH)

[/ QUOTE ]

I think 80+% of America would say Tom Petty = Free Fallin'
Neil Young - Keep on Rocking in the Free World?
Regarding Pink Floyd, I don't equate "signature" with "best." While I would say Wish You Were Here is the best, I would say Another Brick...II is the signature (most recognizable and most readily associated with the band.
