music: epitome's of an era

[Apotheosis]

I was doing some boring work yesterday, and was chatting with a coworker during the process.

we decided to chat about "Which songs" seemed to be the epitome's of certain era's.. soo.. here's a list.. was hoping people would chime in with a list of their own (albums / singles, etc.).


60's - "Get Together" - Youngbloods cover

70's - "Saturday Night Fever" Beegee's - OR something by Blondie. (For the lame part of the 70's). Haven't decided on a track for the good shit...

80's - "Sweet Child of Mine" Guns N' Roses

90's - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Nirvana OR "Cherub Rock" Smashing Pumpkins (Alternatively, no pun intended, albums "Nevermind", "Superunknown", anything released by Sub-Pop, OR anything by "Sonic Youth".


2000 - present - No clue.


What do you think?

70's should be Stayin Alive and/or War Why Can't We Be Friends

Thats all I have at the moment.

You totally nailed those decades especially the bolded part.
Oh but don't forget Iron Maiden (can I play with madness, fear of the dark) or Pearl Jam (ten + Vs) next time :)

80s - the entire Pixies album Doolittle, Talking Heads - Slippery People
