The Killers - Sweet Talk - Is off their B-side record: 'Sawdust', but is for mine their most consistent song. Mr. Brightside would be their most famous.

Muse - Citizen Erased - Off their sophmore album, it's a bit of an epic with contrasting tones through out and almost takes you on a journey. I don't know about most famous, but I'd say Plug In Baby is their signature song that goes off at concerts. Knights of Cydonia is also well worth checking out.

Foo Fighters - Everlong - Got to go with nqcowboy with this pick. They've got a really good library of songs the Foo Fighters, even if a couple of their last releases were really commercial but to me Everlong stands out above the rest as a rocking love ballad. The video also earns points too.

Queen - March of the Black Queen. Gah! Had such a tough time picking this or Play The Game which to me is basically everything you could ever like about Queen condensed into 3 minutes. March of the Black Queen on the other hand rivals Bohemion Rhapsody as an epic and personally I'd have to take Black Queen. I think the lyrics are better and the solos just rock that much harder. However, if I was to pick a signature track, it'd be Bohemion. Considering it performed well in two different decades reaffirms my position.

The Beatles - Across The Universe - Such a hard choice between this and Hey Jude but I find there's something more beautiful about my choice that just tips it in my choice's favour. I'm also a bigger Lennon fan so that might have something to do with it too. Most famous would be a difficult pick, I'd probably go with Let It Be, which seems to be the gate-way song.

Private Universe is an awesome song

lol Rock the Casbah. Best song by the Clash is Complete Control or Guns of Brixton

Might do one with my list in a couple of days, post-exams

You would have a really hard time getting me to pick my fav Clash song... I can't split Washington Bullets (the whole Sandinista album is terribly underrated actually), Janie Jones or I'm So Bored With the USA.

.

I think Hysteria is Muse' best song personally, although Butterflies and Hurricanes and Muscle Museum are close. Knights of Cydonia has probably become the song they're most known for...I reckon Absolution is their best album though, personally.

Absolution basically reads like a Greatest Hits album and was really their peak until they started to lose their edge and released Resistance which seemed more like an imitation of a stereotype than an actual release from one of the best rock bands in the world.

I can't really begrudge your selection, Hysteria just grabs you by the balls for close to 4 minutes and doesn't let go. Along with Plug In Baby, it's probably their best gateway song.

On a softer side of things, I really like Unintended.
