It doesn't matter. As per my post above, those are the songs from those bands that everyone knows even if they aren't fans. Due to radio, media, etc. it's just what they know. I didn't think this was a 'pick their biggest hit' thread....

wouldn't those be the same thing?
The song that everyone knows, is, by definition, their biggest hit. Isn't it?

I guess I just don't understand the OP at all.

I will leave the thread now :)

Pick a group you like anything by. Is there one song by them you wouldn't much mind being the only one you heard from the for quite a while?

Or even for a group you don't like much that you think represents them enough that someone hearing that would have a good representation of their songs?

It may or may not be a hit. Probably is, but doesn't have to be.

I get the 1st point now.

But the bolded then goes against the RHCP "Under the Bridge" choice for sure. That's not something that even CLOSELY represents their songs and/or sound.

Ok I'm REALLY leaving the thread now -- subscription off :)

I'd be pretty satisfied with only 'Under the Bridge' from them, but think bigger fans would want more - for example, 'Give it away' would be missed by them I assume.
