Band's Trademark songs

[kj_jive]

I got this idea in a very similar thread in Dead Horse.

Anyhow, just name a band and say what you think their signature song is or the song that has become most associated with them.  It doesn't necesarilly even have to be bands you like (Creed, Nickleback).  It just seems like a fun idea.

The Who- My Generation
The Kinks- You really got me
Alice in Chains-Man in the Box
Oasis-Wonderwall
The Beatles-Can't decide right now
RHCP-Under the bridge (Although i think its their worst song)

[Lady Livin]

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Guns n' Roses - Sweet Child o' Mine
Faith No More - Epic
Skid Row - 18 and Life
The Stones - Satisfaction or SFTD

[kj_jive]

Hmmm...I'm gonna have to go with

Skid Row-Youth Gone Wild.  Think its a little bit more well known than 18L.
Stones-Satisfaction

good additions though

[Lady Livin]

Hmmm...I'm gonna have to go with

Skid Row-Youth Gone Wild.? Think its a little bit more well known than 18L.

nah man, it's gotta be 18 and Life. everywhere I go if I'm wearing a Skids shirt, someone's like "18 and Life!" or something. that's their trademark song, trust me, lol.

[kj_jive]

okay

[Lady Livin]

Warrant - Cherry Pie
Tom Petty - Free Fallin'
Spinal Tap - Big Bottom
Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever or Stranglehold
STP - Plush
Judas - You've got another thing coming
Pearl Jam - Alive
Bon Jovi - Livin' on a prayer

[MadmanDan]

As I said in Dead Horse,huge bands don't have ONE trademark song.Saying that RHCP's trademark song is Under the Bridge or Judas' song is You've got another thing coming is really naive.Not to mention The Rolling Stones...

Let's leave one-hit-wonders to other gendres of music and Nirvana

[Skeletor]

Dream Theater - Metropolis part 1
Amorphis - Black Winter Day
The Strokes - Last Nite
Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike

[Lady Livin]

huge bands don't have ONE trademark song.

Trademark being the one their most known for, despite it's quality or whathaveyou. Of course, one could argue that Satisfaction is more popular than SFTD, but it's still a firm choice.

[Mattman]

AC/DC - Highway To Hell
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Blur - Song 2
Kiss - Rock 'n' Roll All Nite

I'm so sick of half these songs, because that's all you ever hear by them on the radio or wherever.

[Jim]

Cradle of Filth - Her Ghost in the Fog
Blind Melon - No Rain

[Mama Kin]

Aerosmith- Dream On
Doors- Light my Fire

[Wheres Izzy]

alice cooper- no more mr nice guy
sex pistols- anarchy in the UK
aerosmith-walk this way

[Mattman]

alice cooper- no more mr nice guy

I would say that Alice Cooper's trademark song is "School's Out", actually.

[youngerformofaxl]

Actually G'NR's trademark song is:

"Welcome to the Jungle!"

And the rhcp's trademark song is:

"Give It Away!"

And my trademark song has yet to come!!!!!

[AxlsMainMan]

Green Day - Basket Case
The Offspring - Pretty Fly for a White Guy
Everclear - Santa Monica
Nickleback - How You Remind Me
Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
CKY - 96 Quite Bitter Beings

I realize these bands aren't one hit wonders and it's difficult to peg them down to one song. However, that's what I'm trying to do here. 

Alice Cooper=Schools Out
The Clash= Rock the Casbah (unfortunately)

Queen - Bohemian Raphsody
Mr. Big - To Be With You
Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
Helloween - I want Out

R.E.M. - Losing My Religion

Are you kidding? Everybody knows Deep Purple's trademark song was "Smoke On The Water".  It's the most instantly recognizable riff in rock history.

Really? I never though someone would say that, but thats ok different opinions   

[Lord Blackadder]

I was talking most recognisable song, but here (not UK) Iron Maiden is NOTB, Queen is Bohemian Raphsody, Deep Purple still is Highway Star

[Jizzo]

Deep Purple's trademark is definately Smoke on the Water. I don't know where you live where Highway Star is thought of that way, because most people I know who hear the song have no idea its deep purple.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

dreadfully I live in a place where people hear just the catchy songs or the songs That sells more, I'm not into that, but that's why I say that highway star is deep purple's trademark, here smoke on water have no idea that has something to do with deep purple, it sucks here!!
