People nominating Zeppelin, Floyd etc songs as being way ahead are wasting their time. These bands have some of the most formidable back catalogues in music.

Wu-Tang is clearly Triumph.
It’s the only single a lot of people know. Ditto Award Tour for A Tribe Called Quest. Also, a lot of those are one hit wonders.
Do you even this thread Johnny?
Triple the YT views has me rescinding my Wu Tang take.
Here’s my AIDS posts colliding:
Deacon Blue: Dignity
Blur: Parklife
Yeah I said it.

Don’t disagree but Under Pressure might be my favorite song . So it is tough for me.
I would think Buffalo Soldier for Bob Marley

Based on this thread and how old I think most actually are, many of you had a pretty cool older sibling when you were growing up.
I Can’t Go To Sleep tho
Parklife is to Blur as Creep is to Radiohead. Sing is their masterpiece.
Woo Hoo (apparently actually named Song 2 which I never knew) is to Blur as Creep is to Radiohead.
And then I’d put Girls and Boys as second most iconic.

My cool older sibling was the Internet. I just downloaded 100 Best Alternative Songs of the 80s and 90s off Kazaa, and boom I’m hooked on Neutral Milk Hotel and The Smiths.

Bring The Pain is about 10x better than this.
And Wu-Tang is obviously CREAM, gtfo with these other suggestions.

Around 2006 I got bored with all my music so I scraped every possible source I could for new music people liked (including 22 threads) and scattershot d/led some 5000 songs on emule when you could still do that. The software as perfect because you could search a band name, then sort by the songs with the most hits. Then you just click a bunch at the top and forget it and move on.
I spent about 80 hours doing that. 4/5ths of the songs were crap but I did discover some cool artists that way:
The Editors
Sunset Rubdown
Porcupine Tree
Kid Cudi
The Avalanches
And a bunch of one off songs.
I got Enter Sandman for most iconic and don’t know Metallica enough to say best.
For Prodigy I like Smack My Bitch up as best.
I’d have to break out my old CDs to actually see the name of any Massive Attack song. They all kinda run together - in a good way.

A significant portion of my 300+GB music library comes from a period in my life where I would borrow 10-12 CDs per week from my local library and rip mp3s.
