What is the "Freebird" of other genres of music?

[bbernardini]

I just had some kids in my room for study hall, and "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" came on the recording of the Earl Scruggs Review I was listening to. I said that it was the "Freebird" of bluegrass music. So, I got to thinking...what's the "Freebird" of other genres, say...easy listening, for starters?

1. Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do?"

For the easy listening set.

[Atlas Mugged]

2. Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons'

For the classical set.

[Richardo]

20. I was going to say "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik"

:)

[Beware the Beast Man]

3. 2 Unlimited's "Get Ready 4 This" for awful club music.

[peekaloo]

4. Beethoven's Fifth or William Tell Overture for the classical set.

[bbernardini]

5. Should we break down "classical" into the proper subdivisions?

Let's say...Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic.

[Atlas Mugged]

8. Renaissance - 'La Bouree'

Or 'Bransles de Villages'

[Coventina]

6. "Melt With You" for 80s pop.

I used to like that song.......BEFORE I HEARD IT 8 BRAZILLION TIMES!!

:mad:

10. Punk Rock

11. So, what is 'Freebird' the 'Freebird' of?

Redneck rock?

Seriously, blood streams out my ears and nostrils whenever that comes on.

12. Rock-a-Billy

Summertime Blues

13. 90's Pop MMMBop

MMMBop was actually a fun song for about a week, nothing should be played as offten as that song was.

14. Dave Brubeck's Take Five

[B3Nut]

17. Nooooo!

19. Come on, can you think of a more

appropriate pick for jazz? :D

[Tikki]

15. "Louie, Louie"....is the....

"Freebird" of the Garage Band sound. Especially The Sonics' version.

"Wrecking Crew" by The Meteors is the psychobilly "Freebird".

16. "Freebird"...it covers all genres.

you could be at a hardcore punk show, and somebody would still yell "Freebird!!" It's iconic.

[Fenris]

18. "Hallelujah" (the choral piece, not the L. Cohen song)

[jbane]

21. "Proud to be an Amerikan" by L. Greenwood

For any event that involves the military. I would rather hear the dogs barking Jingle Bells on a loop tape than that f-ing song.

[MissMillie]

22. Easy Listening: either "I Write the Songs" or "Feelings"

right?

[XemaSab]

23. Broadway showtunes

"Memories" from Cats.
