April 27, 201610 yr Frank Sinatra's most iconic song is "New York, New York." Iconic doesn't mean "best" or " best-selling." In this case we're talking about THE song most people associate the artist with - like Sinatra and NY NY. So tell us which song you think is THE iconic song for: Prince Bruce Michael Jackson
April 27, 201610 yr I think Bruce is easy: "Born in the U.S.A." For Prince I'd go with "Purple Rain". Michael Jackson... "Thriller."
April 27, 201610 yr Author I think Bruce is easy: "Born in the U.S.A." For Prince I'd go with "Purple Rain". Michael Jackson... "Thriller." Maybe the choices will be generational. I don't see most 40+ folks saying "Born In The USA" for Bruce. I'd say "Born To Run." Prince is a big tougher for me. Again, maybe generational. I say "1999" for him. We may agree on MJ.
April 27, 201610 yr Maybe the choices will be generational. I don't see most 40+ folks saying "Born In The USA" for Bruce. I'd say "Born To Run." That may be the case. Born to Run is hugely popular and, I think, a much better track. But Born in the USA has been playing over the loudspeaker in stadiums on a consistent basis for my entire life. It was probably the first Springsteen song I ever heard and I'd wager it's probably the one I've heard most recently.
April 27, 201610 yr Prince ... Purple Rain Michael ... Thriller Bruce ... Born in the USA I am going with the songs that almost immediately came to mind on each. Then as I thought about it it seems like those were the right fits
April 27, 201610 yr Warren Zevon- I'd say "Werewolves of London." That's a bit unfortunate since he's had many songs that are much better.
April 27, 201610 yr Elton John, probably "Rocket Man." Though a lot of people may differ. Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, I'd say....:ohbrother:
April 27, 201610 yr I think Bruce is easy: "Born in the U.S.A." For Prince I'd go with "Purple Rain". Michael Jackson... "Thriller." Agreed.
April 27, 201610 yr I think for Springsteen fans, the more iconic song is Born To Run, but for the run-of-the-mill radio listener, it's probably Born In The USA.

So tell us which song you think is THE iconic song for: Prince Bruce Michael Jackson I assume you mean MY idea of what is iconic, and not what I think OTHERS think of as the iconic songs? Prince: 1999 or Raspberry Beret Bruce: Either Born to Run or Tenth Avenue Freeze Out Michael: Beat It or Thriller
April 27, 201610 yr Whenever I hear Sinatra's name "New York, New York" has never entered my mind. (Although it is my ringtone).
