Iconic Songs

So I'm just sitting here jamming out to Free Bird.

Well, in my mind I'm jamming out. In reality I'm sitting in a cubicle pushing papers around. But in my mind I am whipping a long frock of nasty red hair around my sweaty neck and hammering a killer guitar solo to the delight of tripped-out hippies everywhere.



What a sweet song.

It's a shame it took me so long to discover it. Especially since Free Bird is such an iconic song in the world of rock. I am glad, though, that I brought it into the fold as part of my recent Southern Rock revolution.

Now I need your guys' help to avoid further embarrassment. What other classic, iconic, epic songs of rock am I missing? What Free-Bird-esque songs should every music buff have in their collection?

Definitely one of the iconic songs of an era was "Smells like teen spirit." Really turned the page on Devo-ish 80s music and brought grunge in style.
