A lot of you will remember that George Harrison was found guilty of plagiarism after he wrote "My Sweet Lord", which sounded an awful lot like The Chiffons' "She's So Fine". Well, George was fairly bitter over having to give up half of his hard-earned, so he decided to pen this "answer song". My favourite George song - This Song - George Harrison

'American Pie' is a classic, except when Madonna did it! My favourite glam rock band, and one of their best songs. The Sweet- The Six Teens

This thread has brought it home to me just how much of a rock (& prog. rock)-chick I am, at least in spirit! Showing my age, I guess  Who remembers just how gorgeous "The King" was, not to mention a fantastic performer and singer ? - Ben ~ Michael Jackson

As Tryst showed us earlier, Britpop during the 80s and 90s served up some great stuff. Here is another (one of the best IMO) Common People - Pulp

Here's a great version of traditional Zimbabwe/South African miner's song to start the day on the right foot - Shosholoza ~ Traditional, sung by Eight Beat Measure (The Rochester Institute of Technology's original all-male a cappella group)

Here's a song that is as much a social commentary as it is a song. It was released in 1975 - Girls In Our Town - Margaret Roadknight

Just on the Britpop thing again, this is the song that instantly made me a Beautiful South tragic (bearing in mind that they had no airplay at all in Australia) - Perfect 10 - Beautiful South

I love many of the above. Great choices. But THIS is it . My all time favourite You'll Never Know" My mum and dad loved it, and sang it to me. makes me cry every time. Of course it does.
