Genre defining music

[BLAZE]

Let's see some songs that embody the genre in which they belong. Any songs will do - as long as they either inspired or typified their genre

Predictably I'll offer up some metal, as it's all I know...

Parody. Some people thought these were an undiscovered 60s band. Good fun and very enjoyable

When lockdown was at its height in April, I whiled away an hour or so listing my top 10 favourite albums in each decade from 1960s through to 2010s and "Brighter Than a Thousand Suns" made my 80s list. Still enjoy it now.
