For pure instant recognition, I’d go with Phil Collins – “In the Air Tonight.” 🥁
That gated reverb fill is basically a cultural meme now, used in movies, TV, ads, even comedy sketches.

Other insanely recognizable ones are Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” and Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” but Phil Collins still wins for sheer iconic status. 🎧✨
