So that leaves Big Love. Little Lies and Everywhere are songs that I hear very frequently on the radio, and everybody seems to recognize them and respond with enthusiasm. Sounds iconic to me. But that may vary with your geographic location, as well. 
I promise, if I was going by "best" instead of "most iconic", my list would've been quite different. 
ETA: Ulpian, you beat me to it! And yes, I'm not sure how Oh Well and Albatross can be treated as one song. That seems an odd choice on Rolling Stone's part. |
Agreed! I seem to recall some general disappointment when The Dance concert aired that they didn't do Little Lies. IMO it's the standout, iconic song from that album and not playing it live doesn't make a jot of difference really.
