Artists with 2 competing signature songs.

I'd go with Evil Ways and Black Magic Woman.

 

The Monkees - "I'm a Believer"; "Daydream Believer" with a close call for "Pleasant Valley Sunday"
The Beach Boys - Definitely "Good Vibrations" then it's a toss up but probably "California Girls"? After that dozens lol
James Taylor: "Fire and Rain"; "You've Got a Friend"
Joni Mitchell: "Both Sides Now"; "Big Yellow Taxi"
Joan Baez: "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"; "Diamonds & Rust"
Leonard Cohen: "Hallelujah"; "Suzanne"
John Denver: "Annie's Song"; "Take Me Home Country Roads" or "Rocky Mountain High" or "Sunshine on My Shoulders"
Peter, Paul & Mary: "Blowing in The Wind"; "Leaving on a Jet Plane"
Michael Nesmith: "Joanne" or "Silver Moon"; "Rio"
The Moody Blues: "Nights in White Satin"; "Question" or maybe even "Your Wildest Dreams"?
The Who: "My Generation"; "Substitute".. after that..has "Won't Get Fooled Again" surpassed "Substitute" I wonder?l
Roy Wood: "See My Baby Jive"; "I Wish it Would Be Xmas Every Day"

 

Badfinger. no Matter What and Day After Day although one could argue for Baby Blue perhaps.

Crowded House Don't Dream It's Over and Something So Strong (at least in the U.S.)

Early Doobie Brothers
Listen to the Music and Long Train Running

 

Forgive them, it was the 80's after all..........

 

Baba O'Riley, I Can See For Miles and Who Are You long before Substitute

Come and Get It

 

Lol yeah I freakin hate The Flame.
If You Want My Love and Dream Police are up there though.

 

The first thing I think of is "Help Me," however as a songwriter, these two might be her signature songs because they have been covered numerous times.

 

Barry Manilow
I Write the Songs and Copacabana or I Can't Smile Without You.

Barbra Streisand
People and The Way We Were
Woman in Love probably third.

 

Wouldn't Both Sides Now be Judy Collins' signature song?

 

Stevie Nicks songs, "Landslide" and "Rhiannon." Both recorded by Fleetwood Mac, and herself as a solo artist. Does she really have a signature song from her 80's-90's solo career? Maybe "Edge of Seventeen?"

 

The Zombies: She's Not There and Time of the Season

 

With Fleetwood Mac Stevie's would be
Dreams and Rhiannon
As for solo then Edge of 17 and maybe Stand Back.
But if you count duets then Stop Dragin My Heart Around and Leather and Lace.

 

KISS
Rock and Roll All Nite and Detroit Rock City.
Lick it Up and Strutter for 3 and 4 maybe.

 

For sure.
I remember back in the 90s my buddy's brother referenced Golden Earring as a One Hit Wonder.
My buddy reminded him of Twilight Zone and his brother was like No that song wasn't even big that doesn't count.
Of course by buddy and I grew up watching Mtv in the early 80s and his older brother was a 70s radio guy.
To him Twilight Zone was nothing because the video that we say a million times over meant nothing to him or that it cracked the U.S. top 10.

 

Roger Miller

"Dang Me"
"King of the Roaad"

 

Hmm, I would have definitely said Crazy On You and Magic Man (or Alone) but maybe it varies depending on where one lives.

 

I'd probably put I Was Made For Lovin' You above each of those songs except for Rock and Roll All Night (in terms of popularity/exposure).

 

Santana= "Evil Ways" equal to the other two
Skynyrd= yep.
ZZ Top= "Gimme All Your Lovin'", "Sharped Dressed Man" over "Jesus"
Steely Dan= "Do It Again", "Josie", "Peg" over "Charlemange"
Doobies - "Takin' It To The Streets", "Long Train Runnin", "Listen To The Music", "What A Fool Believes" over "Jesus".

 

yuck, Smooth is my least favourite Santana song. Can't stand it. Sadly though, you may be correct.

 

No "Mandy"?

 

The Rolling Stones are an interesting case. I think you'll get different answers depending on age, and hobbies. I'm 20, but Satisfaction was always the song I knew was The Stones and loved. I think most people here would say it's definitely THE song we can agree upon. However, go to YouTube and search the band name, and you'll see the Stones songs with most views on a single video are Paint it Black and Sympathy for the Devil. If you read the comments, you'll also see a lot of, "Black Ops brought me here," and, "Who else is here because of Call of Duty?" Those two games have really bolstered the popularity and recognition of those two songs. Paint it Black has 16 million more views than Sympathy, and 20 million more than Satisfaction. Oddly, Gimme Shelter only has 2.5 million views on the official page. The Paint it Black video that came up, btw, was an official video with 41 million views. An unofficial video has 50 million. It's far and away the most popular Stones song on YouTube.

 

Love PVS, but "Clarksville" is more signature.

By a LONG shot. So has "Baba O'Reilly". And "Pinball Wizard".

These guys don't get to be in the club. One must have something to sign upon before one can have a 'signature' tune.

 

Good example and for her lifelong fans is spot on. For the public though those Grease tracks have become legendary along with the movie. Sadly, I Honestly Love You doesn't seem to get the plays anymore but Physical gets used in commercials and spoofs. Magic has proven to have legs too.

 

Here it would be Satisfaction and Start Me Up
