    Before that, Crawling In The Dark was about as well known as The Reason is now, and Running Away was in a popular game, that's why I named them, but yeah, The Reason would be it...

    Oh, yes, can't forget about INXS. Their signature song is Need You Tonight.

    I don't think Radiohead has a definable song, since they vary so much. If you look at only their early alternative stuff, then Creep does it if you're American, Street Spirit does it if you're English.

    Led Zeppelin couldn't go by Stairway to Heaven - I think it's their best song, but it's so markedly different from the other things they've done. I'd have to go with Dazed and Confused, or Whole Lotta Love.

    I'm not sure about Coldplay being defined or having Amsterdam as a signature - In My Place and Yellow are far more recognizable than those.

    Queen is tough - I'd agree with Bohemian Rhapsody, but what about We Will Rock You? Is Bohemian really more known? I have no idea. Bohemian is more similar to their other stuff, I guess.

    Agree that Pearl Jam's signature is Jeremy.
    Agree that the Stones' signature is I Can't Get No Satisfaction.
    Agree that the Beatles' signature is Hey Jude.
    Agree that Eric Clapton's signature is Layla.
    Agree that Oasis's signature is Wonderwall.

    No one's done Third Eye Blind, so I'll have to go with Semi-Charmed Life. Not my favorite, but this isn't about favorites, now is it.

    No one's done Jet either, so I'll point out the obvious: Are You Gonna Be My Girl.

    Too much more stuff to talk about, even though I'm bored and I probably have the time.

    edit: Of course; Afro Man - Cuz I Got High.

    Devo - Jocko Homo

    Some people think it's "Whip It." These people are jerks.

    # Björk - Venus As a Boy
    Hmmm, what about Oh So Quiet? As mcuh as she doesn't like it, everybody knows she did it.

    Pearl Jam- Jeremy
    The Smashing Pumpkins- Today
    Pixies- Where Is My Mind?

    Green Day - Basket Case or Good Riddance. Can't decide
    Sadly it would probably be Bouelvard Of Broken Dreams simply cause thats all people know them for right now.

    Nah, Green Day will always be remembered for Good Riddance. BoBD is just a fad now.

    For Greenday I'd say Good Riddance (The time of your life). Blink 182 - All the Small Things. (I still love that song though <3). I'd agree Red Hot Chili Peppers probably Under the Bridge whoever said that. I'm too lazy to make a list.

    Um, I've never heard any of Green Day's old songs *MUST LISTEN!!!*, and I'm obsessed with BoBD now. BoBD!!!!

    EDIT: I prove your point.

    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    It's not as overplayed as Believe was/is, though.

    And that's more or less the basis of a lot of the ones I picked.

    It's <i>Another Brick in the Wall Pt.2</i>. Someone who isn't interested in Pink Floyd wouldn't have heard Parts 1 and 3. You might also want to add <i>The Happiest Days Of Our Lives</i> since it accompanies Part 2.

    Once you hear it so often, and you see so many other people here it and like it, the song loses a lot of luster.

    Plus, I don't think it'll ever have the luster than Good Riddance had/has.

    I still like the other songs on the American Idiot album more like Wake Me Up When September Ends and Jesus of Suburbia. BoBD is played WAY too much. And it's still the #1 song on iTunes for like, 4 straight months.
