I think some people aren't understanding the topic  Or maybe I'm not.
Is this just 'rock & roll', and any type of music?  If it's any type of music that's 'defining the decade', then my list would be:
50's: Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock
60's: Velvet Underground - Heroin
70's: Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond
80's: Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
90's: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
00's: White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
...Actually...That's pretty close to what I had before isn't it 
Ah well

If it's ONE SONG to define every single genre of music in a given era than the list is by definition impossible to make.

These 2 songs don't even come close to being rock'n roll.

^ I would have that. No joke. The only one I didn't think of was Thriller, but I guess that works out better than "Sweet Child O' Mine"...
The 2000's choice was really weird though I wouldn't say Someday symbolized the 2000's at all. (Great song, and I know you like the Strokes, but I don't think it'd work).
You're right, Seven Nation Army is more famous.
2000's: White Stripes - Seven Nation Army or Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps |

50s = Rock Around The Clock - Bill Haley & His Comets (or any of the early hits by Elvis)
60s = Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan (2nd choice - Hey Jude or Aquarius from Hair (5th dimension)
70s = Stairway to heaven – Led Zeppelin (2nd choice would have been Hotel California - The Eagles)
80s = Sunday Bloody Sunday" - U2 (Although I agree that the Talking Heads are a very good example of
typically 80s and only 80s music)
90s = Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana
00s - Clock - Coldplay (or Seven Nation Army - White Stripes) I consider that the 00s decade is the one during which rock'n roll's predominance of the music scene is now a thing of the past. The 80s also was much more dominated by pop but RnR still had a better presence than in the 00s.
