If there was one song that defined your musical tastes what would it be?

One song? Impossible, as I don't actually like musical genres, just bands and songs. Besides, my two favourite bands are bands that transcended any easy categorising, namely The Clash and The Kinks.
But I guess if I have to chose two songs from each to show what I like...
(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais - The Clash
Ghetto Defendant - The Clash
Shangri-La - The Kinks
Big Sky - The Kinks

I don't really like punk as a musical genre, yet I love The Clash early work, and I love punkbands Sham 69, Cock Sparrer and two Swedish punk bands. I don't like pop or even Britpop as a genre, yet I love the masters of that genre, the Kinks.
In the end, I just like quality music.

Edit: Argh, no I can't just mention so few songs! There are so many more, so many. Jimmy Jazz, Rudie Cann't Fail, Somebody Got Murdered, Village Green, Phenomenal Cat, Prince of the Punks, Sweet Lady Geneive, Alcohol, Know Your Rights, Garageland, Stay Free, Drug-stabbing Time, Mirror of Love, London Calling, Corner Soul, Up In Heaven (Not Only Here), Starstruck, Days, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Arthur, Art Lover, Waterloo Sunset, Strangers, Some Mother's Son, Sean Flynn, Victoria, Death is a Star, Straight to Hell, The Card Cheat, Death or Glory, All The Young Punks ahhhh I can't stop myself!!!
