1980s: Mickael Jackson - Thriller
1990s: Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

^ 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 Think

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

woops

Found it thought.

just dot agree about map. don't get me rong, i've rated it 5/5, and i think that it's a wonderful song, one of the best of the 2000s, but not as cult as someday or The End Has No End by the strokes.

'Round these parts the Strokes don't really have any cult following or anything. In fact, most people around here would refer to the Strokes as "a semi-obscure band".

K. Jack. Dude.

We're in Canada.

The Strokes are as obscure as it gets Rolling Eyes

It's funny, most Canadians don't even know who Arcade Fire is Laughing

Naaah, Arcade Fire is way bigger here than the Strokes are. But yeah, the Strokes are pretty damn unknown over here. Is it just Canada, or can any of our American friends vouch for anything similar down south?

for the 2000's music there were some huge independant albums, I'd say that is a theme, with that one of the strokes songs would take it for me. The killers were big. Lady gaga was big. BUt the song "Crazy Bitch" by Buck Cherry defines the decade for me. Radio and telivision disregarded conservatism in some way. Vulgarity and offensive humor really broke out. I don't have anything against any of this. But as a middle school teacher you really notice this. Katie Perry, who my 10 year old daughter likes, has a song about boys showing her their "peacock".

Music has always been rife with sexual innuendo. You're only noticing it NOW more than you did before because you're old enough now to CATCH that sexual innuendo.

And OBVIOUSLY radio and television disregard conservatism. We live in a youth-driven media market, and young happening people such as myself regard people who care about "traditional values" like the cranky, out-of-date, anti-fun adults from "Footloose".

Sexuality in music goes way beyond Buckcherry. Just about every other blues song was about sex. Going all the way back to the second post in this thread, "Tutti Frutti" is an incredibly sexual song and a breakout rock and roll hit (same for "Rock Around the Clock" or "Long Tall Sally" or "Hound Dog" or just about any other Rock and Roll song).

1950s: Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley
1960s: It's a tie! The Ronettes - Be My Baby and Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come
1970s: James Brown - Superbad
1980s: Eric B. and Rakim - Paid in Full
1990s: Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana (though I'm tempted to also say Souls of Mischief - 93 til Infinity)
2000s: Hey Ya - Outkast

one song from each decade that shaped guitar-based, 'traditional' 'rock' that came after it

'50s -Not Fade Away -Buddy Holly
'60s -Louie Louie -The Kingsmen
'70s -Search and Destroy -The Stooges
'80s -Teenage Riot -Sonic Youth
'90s -Paranoid Android -Radiohead
'00s -Seven Nation Army -The White Stripes

not one of these is a favorite, but I believe these really served to define "rock-n-roll" at the time and shaped "rock-n-roll" that came after it

I just noticed that Smells Like Teen Spirit became the 3nd most acclaimed song of all time (+1, since 2008), from the updated chart of acclaimedmusic. so no surprise really to find this song in everyone's picks.

according to this list, the picks of the critics are:

50s: Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry (6#)
60s: Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan (1#, most acclaimed song of all time! )
70s: Anarchy in the U.K. - Sex Pistols (7#)
80s: Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division (17#)
90s: Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nervana (3#)
00s: Hey Ya! - Outkast (19#)
