So much goodness. Hard to top I Feel Love in terms of influence and originality though.
Wrong Fleetwood song IMO, much prefer You Can Go Your Own Way.

Confession: I've never liked "Stayin' Alive." I've kind of come to terms with it over the years, and I no longer hate it as I once did, but it still isn't a song that I would ever listen to voluntarily.

Yeah, I was weighing Bob Marley vs. the Sex Pistols there, but with Fleetwood Mac, it's not even a contest.― how's life, Thursday, November 7, 2013 1:34 PM

AC/DC was the only one not available.

xxp sometimes I feel like the Tavares version of More than a Woman is one of my favorite songs ever. the Bee Gees original pales in comparison imo
― g simmel, Thursday, 7 November 2013 17:13 (ten years ago) link
Totally; the Tavares one is transcendent. The Bee Gees is karaoke time.

i only know those songs because of ILX. neither is well-known in the US.

Ditto on Tavares's "More Than a Woman." The Bee Gees' version is fine--it's them in the movie when the camera whirls in circles, right?--but Tavares make it even better.

'trans europe express'

Why are We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions listed as if they're one song? I hate that.
Voting Fela, that groove is so sick.
― 30 seconds to the return of bruno (Spectrist), Monday, 11 November 2013 16:53 (ten years ago) link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Will_Rock_You
. In 1977, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" were issued together as a worldwide top ten single.[7] Soon after the album was released, many radio stations began playing the songs back to back without interruption.[8]
When performed live, this version is usually followed by "We Are the Champions", another of the album's hits, as they were designed to run together.[7] The songs are often paired on the radio and at sporting events, where they are frequently played.[7] They were the last two songs Queen performed at Live Aid in 1985.[15] The songs are also paired back to back on the album, and they are still played together to this day on American classic rock radio stations.

Yay, after a look at the list and a gut-check, I went with "Marquee Moon". But really comparing some of these is like the unstoppable force meets the immovable object.

Didn't vote, but would've gone with Trans Europe Express, which I remember being totally startling and weird when it came on the radio back then

voted "flashlight", but half wish i'd thrown another point to "ca plane pour moi" (or "psycho killer" or "zombie" or "blank generation" or...)
