Signature Songs

[bmw]

M.C. Hammer - U Can't Touch This
Metallica - Enter Sandman

[stopnswop2]

Kenny Loggins - Footloose
Kenny Rogers The Gambler
Barry Manilow Copacabana
Neil Diamond Sweet Caroline
Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road? though I prefer Crocodile Rock

Anyone have any thoughts on what the Beatles' signature song should be?

Crocodile Rock is definitely the signature song, not Goodbye

You mean from late 1971 "Madman Across The Water"?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTuyqOQIYcE

I'm going out on a limb, but not a big stretch:

AC/DC
Bon Scott era - "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)"

Brian Johnson era - "Back In Black"

Signature songs for The Who:

First generation: "My Generation"

Second generation: "Won't Get Fooled Again" over "Baba O'Riley"

Third generation (a reach!): "Who Are You" (Perhaps because of C.S.I.)

(Edit)
Another surprise it hasn't yet been mentioned:
"Everybody Loves Somebody"
-Dean Martin

“It’s Hard” to believe you left off “Eminence Front”.Oh well, I have the album, so it’s all good.

With all respect, I can't believe anything post-Keith Moon could be considered a signature song for one of the most venerated bands to emerge from Britain in the '60s. Besides, "Eminence Front" has to be one of the most "generically '80s" pop tunes by a classic rock band imaginable...and it isn't even sung by Roger Daltrey!
