What is a Bands/Individuals Signature Song?

Recommended Posts

When you think of a particular Band, Solo Artist each would have a signature song, or one you think of first when they are mentioned. For instance, the Beatles. Hey Jude? A Day in The Life? The Stones, Sympathy For The Devil? The Who Baba O'reilly? Frank Sinatra My Way? Name some bands, and what you think their signature song is... Pink Floyd for instance, I associated first Dark Side of Moon, may like other more so , but think Dark Side first when Pink Floyd mentioned. Jefferson Airplane, White Rabbit... Tragically Hip?

Van Halen for me is Summer Nights.

 

Pearl Jam, Jeremy

Ozzy, Crazy Train

Bon Jovi, Wanted Dead or Alive

GNR, Sweet Child O Mine

Def Leppard, Pour Some Sugar on Me

Poison, Talk Dirty to Me

Doors, Riders on the Storm

 

Pink Floyd can't be narrowed down to just one. There were so many signature songs they did. Money, Learning to Fly, etc.

Foo Fighters - THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST

Fixed

 

 

Boston - More Than A Feeling

Springsteen - Born to Run/Born in the U.S.A. (depends on who you talk to, for me it's Born to Run)

Barenaked Ladies - If I Had $1000000/One Week (again, depends on who you talk to)

Blink 182 - All the Small Things

Blue Öyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper

Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer

The Killers - When You Were Young

Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London

Steely Dan - Rikki Don't Lose That Number

Rush - Tom Sawyer

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication

Radiohead - Creep

REM - Orange Crush

Motörhead - Ace of Spades

Michael Jackson - Thriller

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

Dropkick Murphys - I'm Shipping Up To Boston

 

These aren't necessarily the first ones that come to my mind, but these would be the songs I'd mention if someone wasn't familiar with one of these bands/artists, for example: "Sure you know who Blink is, you remember 'All The Small Things,' right?"

Really, Hank Williams... Kaw-liga????

 

Huh?

 

I would say: Hey Good Lookin', Cold, Cold Heart, or even Jambalaya before Kaw-Liga!

Those are barely Hank Williams songs, though. They've been covered enough and redone. Anyone who would know Hank would know Kawliga.

Really... Don't get me wrong, Kaw-Liga is a great Hank Williams song... But not his signature. It is is the top 10, but not close to number one...

 

 

 

Oh, well to each their own... Me personally: Jambalaya. Hard to nail a sig on Williams I guess.

 

CDB - South's Gonna Do It Again

Cheap Trick - Surrender

Eagles - Take It Easy

GNR - Sweet Child

AC/DC - Shook Me

I would say Eagles is Take it Easy. CDB, gotta be Devil Went Down to GA. Steely Dan has to be: Do it Again OR Reeling in the Years... Those are early tunes (SD) and quite the sigs.

Here is an easy one:

 

Don McLean: American Pie

 

Of course, jboyst will say it is: Vincent (which BTW is an awesome tune)... He is quite the contraian!! :nana: :nana:

 

I can't argue with Reeling, but I like My Old School better and think it may be their sig song.

 

 

I agree... I am personally partial to My Old School... But not sig. I bet jboyst will say: Bodhisattva.

 

 

 

Just funning you jboyst! :D

 

What about Elvis?

 

 

 

Gotta be: Jailhouse Rock

 

 

 

No?
