Aren't Simon and Garfunkel?
Btw, The Sound of Silence beats out Scarborough Fair, imo.

RUSH - Limelight
Billy Joel - New York idiot - He could not hang onto Christie so fuck him.
Eric Clapton - Cocaine. Thanks to JJ Cale.
Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath. This begs the question; does Ian Anderson's eyes bug out more than Mick Fleetwood's did when he was high on cocaine ??
Michael Jackson - Fucking pervert. But him and Stevie Wonder made Nathan East a rich man for a few base lines.
Rod Stewart - Maggie May or the stripper song
The Who - Behind Blue Eyes
CCR - Proud Mary probably although Fortunate Son would be my choice
Simon and Garfunkel - Gay ass hippie fags never had anything worth listening to.
Elvis - Blue Suede Shoes

Depends on what you mean by "signature" song.
Most popular?
The one you most associate with them?
Your favorite?
Maybe sort of a combination.
RUSH - not a fan and don't know much of their music. I'd probably say Tom Sawyer or Time Stand Still as ones I'd know if I heard them.
Billy Joel - can't stand the fucker. The only one I can name is Piano Man. Blleecccchhh
Eric Clapton - does it have to be post-Cream? Because I'd probably say Crossroads from Wheels of Fire. Fucking all time classic. Otherwise, After Midnight.
Jethro Tull - Aqualung or Living in the Past
Michael Jackson - Thriller (?) can't really say
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story or just about anything on that album. Gasoline Alley.
The Who - Young Man Blues or See Me Feel Me / Listening to You
CCR - Born on the Bayou or Lodi
Simon and Garfunkel - 59th Street Bridge Song or The Boxer
Elvis - Hound Dog
Seems like I can't make up my mind...

Could be...he had those guys playing on all of his early solo albums. Lots of other players too, though.
Kenny Jones only played drums on I'm Losing You...(another great song)
Micky Waller played on the rest. A great job on the title song in particular.

Not throwing in with anyone. It was more a jab at screwey than anyone else.
And yes, I have on occasion K'dMOA and usually admitted it.....eventually. This is a case where you did.

If this is about Dave's proclivities, there's nothing to be done. In no way does this hamper the legacy of Mike, Denis, Rick and Lenny.
