Rock and Roll All Night is pretty iconic as well

Right. These threads always come down to "songs i like". which has nothing to do with Iconic.

I've never been a big Doors fan. But, I know they have had some iconic songs.

If we're talking iconic; California Girls, Good Vibrations or Surfin' USA needs strong consideration. Probably Surfin'.

Agree (and with your statemen on the Doors) but would note: songs become iconic because people listen to them and like them.

Sweet Child O' Mine is in the running for the guitar intro alone.

And can't forget Johnny B Goode from "the Father of Rock n Roll"

Agreed. But, people tend to list songs THEY like/listen to.
