If it were last year I would have agreed with "Everything Flows" but "Alcoholiday" and a few others are better..

"Sweet Child o' Mine" was GNR's first single? I thought it was "Welcome to the Jungle".
― Tuomas, Saturday, 11 April 2009 09:04 (fifteen years ago) link
Actually, according to Wikipedia, their first single was "It's So Easy".

Flaming Lips, if "My Own Planet" (main song on their debut EP) counts as a single.
― xhuxk, Monday, 20 April 2009 01:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Soundgarden ("Hunted Down"/"Nothing To Say")
― xhuxk, Monday, 20 April 2009 01:26 (fifteen years ago) link
ESG, if "Moody" (main song on their debut EP) counts as a single.
Gang of Four, "Damaged Goods" (45 version)
Pylon, "Cool"
The Pack, "Vans"
Too many old-school rap artists to name.
― xhuxk, Monday, 20 April 2009 01:34 (fifteen years ago) link
Some of these have probably already been named; don't have time to search them. If so, I second them. (And I third "Radio Free Europe" while I'm at it):
Patti Smith "Piss Factory"/"Hey Joe"
Vanilla Ice, "Ice Ice Baby" (original version)
Pet Shop Boys, "West End Girls"
Killing Joke, "Change"/"Requiem"
The Knack, "My Sharona"
Poison, "Talk Dirty To Me"
Was (Not Was), "Wheel Me Out"
Onyx, "Ah, And We Do It Like This"
Jesus & Mary Chain, "Upside Down"
Age Of Chance, "Bible Of The Beats"

Test Dept., "Compulsion"/"Pulsations"
― xhuxk, Monday, 20 April 2009 01:59 (fifteen years ago) link
Soul Asylum, "Tied To The Tracks"
― xhuxk, Monday, 20 April 2009 02:08 (fifteen years ago) link
Big Daddy Kane - "Raw"
― henry s, Monday, 20 April 2009 02:38 (fifteen years ago) link
Dire Straits, "Sultans Of Swing"
Maybe: The Police, "Fall Out"
Amazed to learn that "Go Now!" was actually not the Moody Blues' debut single (merely their second), so not them, I guess.

Agree on Annie (and lots of other ones above)
Disagree on The Monkees (whose best track was "Steppin' Stone") (and lots of other other ones above.)

I have to say, Chuck, that I find the Flaming Lips choice very puzzling, to think that they never topped "My Own Planet" -- to each his own I guess!

Really disagree with the Beta Band nomination in the first post; much as I love Champion Versions, Los Amigos is better in my mind.
Staggered that Doves haven't been mentioned so far.

C'mon xhuxk, "Bible of the Beat" was Age of Chance's greatest moment, but was their second single.

There's an "original version" of "Ice Ice Baby"?
