What is your favorite song from each decade, going from the '60s to the '10s?

It's been quite a while since I've asked anything. Anyway, here's my list...

'60s: Bob Dylan - "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands"

'70s: Joy Division - "Transmission"

'80s: The Cure - "The Figurehead"

'90s: Radiohead - "Let Down"

'00s: Brand New - "Limousine"

'10s: La Dispute - "King Park"

BQ: Any songs from my list that you like?

BQ2: Ask me any question you want.

Update:

Also, if struggling to come up with just one song, you can just choose one of your favorites, or even a few of your favorites.

    Hey, Ryan. The particular tune depends on my mood - and you neglect the 50's...

    Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, The Animals, The Experience, Doobies, Bad Company, CCR, Van Halen, ZZ Top, TOP, Metallica, SRV, Stevie Wonder, The Police, Black Crowes, Buckcherry, John Mayer, and...this woman, who I saw this week. So far, she has not responded to my offers of total love:
