Good level dude, but now let’s put the joking aside.
I picked just two, but the first half of their catalogue up to Automatic for the People is teeming with dozens of amazing songs.

It’s hard for me to answer this. Not because I can’t choose, but because I was spoiled and grew up listening to one of the most progressive alt-rock stations in the country, and they played B-sides as often as they played hits…so what might be a 1-hit wonder to the mainstream, I knew and loved several singles from that act. So is this thread for our opinion of their best song, or the song that’s most iconic?
I’ll give it a go…and you guys might be like “who the fuck is she talking about”
Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon (best) Lips Like Sugar (Iconic)
Adam Ant - Friend or Foe (Best) Goody Two Shoes (Iconic)
Siousxie and the Banshees - Hong Kong Garden (best) Kiss Them for Me (Iconic?)
REM - Find the River (best) Losing My Religion (Iconic)
The Clash - London Calling (best) Rock the Casbah (Iconic)
Ramones - Blitzkreig Bop (both)
New Order - Blue Monday (best) Bizarre Love Triangle (Iconic)
Police - Synchronicity II (best) Every Breath You Take (Iconic)
Depeche Mode - People are People (best) Enjoy the Silence (iconic)
Duran Duran - Notorious (best) Hungry Like the wolf (iconic)
Kate Bush - Running up that Hill (both)
Talking Heads - Nothing but Flowers (best) Once in a Lifetime (iconic)
The Smiths - Suedehead (best) How Soon is Now (iconic)
whew. I have more.

I was about to post How Soon Is Now when you posted this.
Suedehead is not a Smiths song though (it’s solo Morrissey).

I Wanna Be Sedated is slightly better.
Now they’re playing Shook Me All Night Long - but it think it wins co-iconic with Back in Black

oof, yeah. tbh, i’m not the hugest smiths/moz fan and they all run together for me
How Soon is Now for me for the Smiths.
And now we got Simple Man at the gym.
But for Skynyrd it’s gotta be Freebird. Maybe the most iconic of iconic songs.
