I saw this on another board and found it interesting…

What bands basically distilled their entire artistic statement/cultural influence in their very first song?

For “first song,” I’ll allow a little flexibility: You can either point to a pre-album single, or the lead song on a pre-album EP; or the first cut on their debut LP.

It stuck with me that the first song Blink 182 wrote together was "Carousel". That fits this thread 'cause it kind of defines their whole deal

Is Good Times Bad Times the first Zeppelin song for this purpose? It was track 1 and I think their first single. I guess it only distilled the heavy half of their "whole deal," so not the best example.

I think the first two albums are good. The drop after that is massive.
