Perfect Examples

[jennythereader]

So what songs do you guys point to and say "This song is a perfect example of what I mean when I say (whatever musical genre)?"

My examples are:
"Turn, Turn, Turn" by The Byrds; Folk-Rock
"Pastures of Plenty" and "This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie; Folk
"They Can't Take That Away From Me" by Ella Fitzgerald; Jazz
"Sing, Sing, Sing" by Benny Goodman; Jazz
"Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix; Psychedelic Rock
"Twist and Shout" by The Beatles; Rock

There are others of course, but these are the ones that are at the top of my head at the moment.

Very cool.

I shall have to check the library/add it to the Netflix queue/get my hands on it some other way.
