Defining songs for a particular group
Discussion
I've just had a couple of songs pop up on YouTube and got me to wondering which songs could be considered a particular group's signature song? That is to say no matter if they've had bigger hits this is the one song that is forever 'theirs', for example:
Boston - More Than a Feeling
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Ultravox - Vienna
Abba - Waterloo
Boston - More Than a Feeling
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Ultravox - Vienna
Abba - Waterloo
Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer
Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline
John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Road
Seal - Kiss from a Rose
Frank Sinatra - My Way
Dean Martin - That's Amore
AC/DC - Hi Way to Hell/Back in Black or Thunderstruck (maybe the first?)
I thought Abba would be Knowing me, Knowing you.
And could you do this with Elvis, with so many songs?

Chic - Good Times (The influence that song has had on popular culture)
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take 5
New Order - Blue Monday
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
The Orb - Little Fluffy Cloud
Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (which is odd because it doesn't have Sarah Cracknell0
Pulp - Common People
LCD Soundsystem - Losing My Edge
The Strokes - Last nite
nirvana - Smells like teen spirit

I was about (well, I did post it, but deleted it) to post
The Stranglers - Golden Brown
because if ever I mention to an average person that I'm into that band, they'll inevitably say "oh yes, they did Golden Brown, didn't they?". But I'm not sure it really fits the thread because it doesn't really define the band, it's quite a departure from most of their other stuff. But it's almost certainly their most well-known.

No more heroes surely ?
