I would argue that picking the most famous song is off-limits.

Sabotage is not the quintessential Beastie Boys track. Its basically a punk rock song.

Probably a waste of time telling you to quit being such a pussy, but you should really front up with your own picks.
"Pussy" is misogynistic.

I'll give you my picks later. When I've had time to think about them.

But then Michael Jackson doesn’t get to be Billie Jean, which is clearly the right answer
Good point. I guess I would say that most bands are relatively bad, and so the most representative song has to be mediocre at best.

But there’s also rapping and turntable scratching, plus Latin-tinged percussion. It covers all their bases.
Also it's a good song and not a bad one.

much like the mickey account, bands with any staying power have too many phases for this to be a constructive exercise.
