Top 10 Songs Which are the Signature Song of Their Genre

The Top Ten
1 Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana (Alternative)

Though it's a signature song of this genre but there are hundreds thousands other better alternative rock songs than this (from my point of view)

Not the best alternative song but certainly the most iconic.

2 Strobe (Radio Edit) - deadmau5 (EDM)
3 Billie Jean (Single Version) - Michael Jackson (Pop)
4 November Rain - Guns N' Roses (Rock)
5 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen (Rock)

But it's not rock.

6 Counting Stars - OneRepublic (Pop Rock)
7 Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden (Heavy Metal)

Thought it would be Master of Puppets.

8 Raining Blood - Slayer (Thrash Metal)
9 Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia (Dance-Pop)
10 American Idiot - Green Day (Pop-Punk)
The Contenders
11 Wheel of Time - Blind Guardian (Symphonic Metal)
12 Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple (Hard Rock)
13 Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley (Rock N' Roll)
14 Lose Yourself - Eminem (Rap)
15 Majesty - Blind Guardian (Speed Metal)
16 Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi (Hair Rock)
17 Royals - Lorde (Alt-Pop)
18 Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin (Rock)
19 The Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson (Progressive Rock)
20 Even Flow - Pearl Jam (Grunge)
21 Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan (Folk Rock)
22 Hey Jude - The Beatles

I think this is more fitting as the signature song of pop rock than Counting Stars.

23 Baby One More Time - Britney Spears (Teen Pop)

Why does this stay as a newcomer when will it become part of the main list?

I don't think many could argue with this one.

24 Hot Boy - Bobby Shmurda (Nu-Crunk)
25 Born to Be Alive - Patrick Hernandez (Disco)
