Artists with 2 competing signature songs.

I figured Andrew might've thought Aerosmith's "Dream On" was Nazareth, but it turns out Nazareth did a song by that title, too!

And it got to #1 in Poland - can't top that!

 

Couldn’t get past the first page, but it’s already turned into any band with more than one hit.

 

Todd Rundgren--Hello It's Me and Bang the Drum All Day

I would say Hello It's Me is his signature song and my brother would say Bang the Drum All Day is, hence me using them for this thread lol.

 

Bush -

Glycerine &
Machinehead

 

Without being responsible and reading the thread, off the top of my head:

Rush - Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio

Metallica - One, Enter Sandman

Yes - Roundabout, Owner of a Lonely Heart

 

Here are two signature songs from a few artists not previously listed:
The Lovin' Spoonful -- "Do You Believe In Magic", "Summer In The City"
The Rascals -- "Good Lovin'", "People Got To Be Free"
Joni Mitchell -- "Help Me", "Free Man In Paris"
The Romantics -- "What I Like About You", "Talking In Your Sleep"
Seal -- "Crazy", "A Kiss From A Rose"

MY two signature songs from the following artists would be:
Patsy Cline -- "I Fall To Pieces", "Walkin' After Midnight"
The Association -- "Windy", "Along Comes Mary"
The Moody Blues -- "Nights In White Satin", "Tuesday Afternoon"
The Byrds -- "Turn! Turn! Turn!", "Eight Miles High"
Jethro Tull -- "Living In The Past", "Locomotive Breath"
Deep Purple -- "Smoke On The Water", "Highway Star"
The Rolling Stones -- "Satisfaction", "Let's Spend The Night Together"
Steely Day -- "Do It Again", "Reelin' In The Years"
Santana - "Black Magic Woman", "Evil Ways"
Elton John -- "Daniel", "Your Song"
John Lennon -- "Imagine", "Mind Games"
David Bowie -- "Space Oddity", "Ziggy Stardust"
Queen -- "Bohemian Rhapsody", "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions"

And I do like these two songs I've seen listed by the following artists:
The Mamas & The Papas -- "Monday Monday", "California Dreaming"
Jefferson Airplane -- "White Rabbit", "Somebody To Love"
Steppenwolf -- "Born To Be Wild", "Magic Carpet Ride"
Neil Young -- "Old Man", "Heart Of Gold"
Lynyrd Skynyrd --"Sweet Home Alabama", "Freebird"
Bob Welch -- "Sentimental lady", "Ebony Eyes"
Ringo Starr -- "Photograph", "It Don't Come Easy"
George Harrison -- "My Sweet Lord", "Give Me Love..."
Heart -- "Magic Man", "Barracuda"
The Zombies -- "Time Of The Season", "She's Not There"
Black Sabbath -- "Paranoid", "Iron Man"
Kansas -- "Dust In The Wind", "Carry On Wayward Son"
Howard Jones -- "What Is Love", "Things Can Only Get Better"

 

I agree 'Hair Of The Dog' is another good candidate as signature song.
Btw, I had a Greatest Hits reissue CD which contained two bonus tracks, one of them was 'Dream On'. Actually: the song was originally on Greatest Hits Volume 2.^^

 

How about Evil ways and black magic woman

 

Enuff Z'nuff -- "New Thing", "Fly High Michelle"

 

Beyonce

Irreplaceable and Single Ladies

 

Hope so, I hate "Smooth".

 

I would say "Crazy On You" and "Alone" could easily knock either or both of those songs out of the ring as contenders.

 

Lynyrd Skynyrd
Free Bird and Sweet Home Alabama

 

Oye Como Va is their most played live song according to one of the set list sites.

 

I knew this had already been mentioned but still it was a good bump.

 

Bananarama

Venus and Cruel Summer

 

Stones:

Satisfaction
Brown Sugar
Jumpin Jack Flash
Gimme Shelter
Miss You
Start Me Up
...and many more.

 

Stones, Elvis and Beatles have a lot of immediately recognizable ones but if just 2 for Stones it's Satisfaction and Start Me Up.

 

I looked at one of the set list sites because I was curious and their 4 most played live songs on the site over the years were Jumpin' Jack Flash, Brown Sugar, Honky Tonk Women and Tumbling Dice. Satisfaction was 5 and Start Me up was 6.

 

Ramones Blitzkrieg Bop and Sedated

 

Allman Brothers - Statesboro Blues, Whipping Post
Devo - Whip It, Mr. Kamakaze/Mr. DNA

 

You think those are the only Stones songs that are "immediately recognizable"? Really?

 

Is this supposed to be a joke? One classic, one total obscurity?

 

Anyone mention Van Halen yet?

Jump / Panama

or

Hot For Teacher / Ain’t Talking About Love

 

I would say Runnin' With The Devil is more popular than Ain't Talking About Love.

Their second highest charting single after Jump is Why Can't This Be Love?
