OP you are really a faggot today.
What are you even trying to say - that Beethoven's 9th is THE definitive classical piece? And that Rhaspody in Blue is THE definitive jazz piece?
You're such a faggot. Please learn an instrument. This is such a listener's question.

Rock has Glenn Branca's The Spectacular Commodity .
Bel Air?

>one defining song/piece for each genre
Actually die
this
Sister Ray obviously
YYZ
Bohemian Rhapsody, though this is an idiot question
>this is such a listener's question.
God, could you be any further up your own ass? It's a dumb question for sure, but I think I hate you more for your condescending attitude.
Bohemian Rhapsody
rock has whatever is top 5 in RYM rn
>implying musicians dont understand music infinitely more than listeners
waow
These, maybe Stairway.
It's stupid to generalize a genre to a song though, i mean you could've tried albums at the very least and it might've made a tad more sense
I'm not saying that musicians don't understand better than the average person, I'm saying shitting on someone for asking a dumb question is a douchey and elitist thing to do.
Smoke on the water
that's more like the eine kleine nachmusik
The only correct answer.
Sunday morning, Venus in Furs, Born under punches, Once in a lifetime, etc.

garbage
Venus in Furs is the correct answer
one of these if you mean the most widely known song of the genre
I think you just came off as a rancid faggot, some how

>Rhapsody in Blue

I'm not even a jazzfag and I cringed. Rhapsody in Blue is classical.
Sister Ray
...
Stop strawmanning him, he hasn't said that they're the definitive classical/jazz pieces, he has just said that the classical and jazz tradition has masterpieces of this scope, while rock doesn't.
Not even his best
I'd be okay with this though
This is too good, those other pieces in the OP are not necessarily the best, they are just popular but also good
>I'm not a jazzfag
it shows
Sounds like you're finding what you want to find between the lines. I don't see anything OP's said that suggests what you've said either.
OP here. He's pretty much right. You asshole.

Not that guy but OP implies at most what that guy's saying.
>Classical has ..... masterpiece
>Jazz has ..... masterpiece
>What the hell does rock have?
If albums count Rock has potentially more than a few to pin the label on, as you would Symphony 9 or Rhapsody in blue (which I hadn't heard of until today but is quite good, especially considering the year it was made, but Gershwin is a well known genius)
>...masterpiece
Subjective, vague, and totally unclear. What specific qualities are we meant to point to when looking for equivalents in the rock genre? What makes a song a "masterpiece" given these standards? The question is meaningless.
All tracks of Egor Letov
your opinion makes it a masterpiece you dingus. Pick some albums and stand by them
I say TMR is one good example
>your opinion makes it a masterpiece
if you don't think that's true there's no hope for you. Masterpiece isn't a fact, it's an opinion to be agreed with or not.
It should be obvious that Beethoven's 9th isn't any more "objectively" a masterpiece than something like Eccojams. It's just that we've collectively agreed on one and not the other
hey I was going to say that. Is it because scaruffi said so?
Reckoner or Street Spirit
