Can you name any popular songs that reflected their time period?

The song has to give a feel of the time period.

Can you name any popular songs that reflected their time period?
ooh do u mean like "Doing that thing you do" and "Happy Together" and so many many beatles songs for the 60s feel, n "My Generation" and "Iron Man" from the early 1970s? n "Stayin Alive" 4 the late 1970s early 80s disco movement... The the U2 and Bon Jovi songs of the like "With Or Without You" and "You Give Love a Bad name" for the mid and late 80s... "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Basketcase", "Wonderwall", "The Fly", "Bittersweet Symphony", n all those other boy band and spice girls songs from the 90s... n "In the end" and "Lose Yourself" u cant leave out that 1 from the early 2000s hehe... but from the 2000s it becomes a bit like more repetitive, except if you look at a few artists like maybe Greenday n U2 n the rise of Linkin Park and Coldplay, n some like that and put a bar on most rap n hip hop(not my preference)cause i dont like rap music so much), but rap n hip hop gained most prominence only in the post 2000s... So i think post 2000 every 3 weeks or so u got people saying this song is the best n so on, or maybe its just cause we live in that time, so post 2002 i think you cant really identify it with 1 or a handfull of songs...
