I'll try to move upward through the years to get the best songs from each decade that embodies what it was all about.
In A Sentimental Mood- Duke Ellington: (40's) Really amazing if you like jazz (like myself). If you don't, the piano solo might be a bit hard to swallow. Solid to fall asleep to as well. (If you like this, check out Naima by Coltrane)
50's is kinda... Bleh.
Count Funkula- George Clinton: (60's) He is the true king of funk...
Miss You- Rolling Stones: (70's) Probably represents the feel of the 70's the best. Really groovy.
One- Metallica: (80's) Late eighties and kind of dark. One of the greatest guitar solos ever though.
Yellow Ledbetter- Pearl Jam: (90's) Although made in the year 2000, Pearl Jam was at its peak popularity in the 90's. It starts with a really amazing guitar riff, and is overall awesome.
The Pretender- Foo Fighters: (00's) One of their best. Some might argue that the 2000's were dominated by pop, but pop is garbage, so Foo it is. Honestly one of my favorite songs though.
Rock Bottom- King Krule: (Current) Definitely tops my chart of perspective artists. He is not insanely well know, but his music is great. At the very least he is not known in the US since he is based in Dublin I believe. He has got one of the highest quality/song ratio I have seen.
