lzfan715 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 The Yardbirds-For Your Love At least until I started listening to them that's the song that I always associated with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetTheLedOut Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 U2-Beautiful Day Beautiful Day? I'm pretty sure U2 had their defining song well before 2000. Try "(Pride) In The Name Of Love," "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," or "One." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyzep247 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 ive got some no one has said yet... Jimi Hendrix-Purple Haze...although theres so many better ones Blue Oyster Cult-Dont Fear The Reaper Rush-Tom Sawyer or Spirit of the Radio or Freewill Traffic-Dear Mr.Fantasy theres more but i cant think of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 U2's defining song is probably "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." They were fairly well-known before the Joshua Tree, but that song is what made them absolutely huge. Also, should we exclude one-hit wonders? By definition, they only have one defining song.

GetTheLedOut Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Rush-Tom Sawyer or Spirit of the Radio or Freewill Definitely Tom Sawyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Well Kurt Cobain is the highest grossing dead musician ever. He makes more money than even Elvis or any other musical great. If I'm not mistaken, Elvis took over the top slot again this year. Anyway, my main point being, Nirvana never really had time to make the impact they could have over a longer period of time but in the short time they were around, I'd have to say the impact they did have was pretty huge.

Jahfin Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I used to love both those songs until I realized how many Lynard Skynard "fans" know only "Free Bird" or "Sweet Home Alabama." Now they make me back away from Skynard like Superman does to kryptonite. Actually I'd say that's only true of casual Skynyrd fans, as diehard Skynyrd fans definitely know more than those two songs. As a fan since the early 70s I have to say I still haven't tired of those tunes but classic rock radio has certainly played them to death. In that regard, I steer clear of them for the most part and only listen to them on occasion. I do agree about there being so much more to their catalog though, there's lots of songs that deserve attention such as Poison Whiskey, I Never Dreamed, All I Can Do Is Write About It, Four Walls of Raiford, Every Mother's Son and lots of other deep album tracks.

Jahfin Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Black Crowes~Wiser Time I'd say Hard To Handle, She Talks To Angels and Remedy are much more likely candidates for the Crowes' "signature" song than Wiser Time. Great song and definitely one of my very favorites of theirs but I don't think it approaches the status of the others when speaking of signature songs.

Almost everyone has heard "Remedy" so I'd have to nominate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Gimme Three Steps? I'm not sure what you're asking. If you're suggesting it's their signature song, I'd have to disagree as that would definitely have to go to Free Bird. I also wouldn't classify 3 Steps as a deep album cut as it's garnered plenty of airplay in it's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wouldn't classify 3 Steps as a deep album cut as it's garnered plenty of airplay in it's time. Perhaps my classing of Gimme Three Steps is skewed, as it was the first Skynyrd song I ever heard. I agree that it's not in the same class as Freebird or SHA in terms of popularity, but I thought it was worth discussing nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because most people think it's Bad Company. I'd also say Free almost fall into the one hit wonder category. Yes, they had other songs that got airplay but none to the extent of All Right Now.

"All Right Now" is the only song I've ever heard played on the radio by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
