If I were to pick one anthem per decade, one song that defined each of the modern decades, my choices would be:
1950s
Tutti Frutti - Little Richard
1960s
Be My Baby - The Ronettes
1970s
Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols
1980s
(Hey You) the Rocksteady Crew - The Rocksteady Crew
1990s
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
2000s
I can't think of any

It was difficult for me to choose between "Be My Baby" and "Like a Rolling Stone" for the 1960's. "Be My Baby" defined the first half of the decade, while "Like a Rolling Stone" defined the second half. But I like "Be My Baby" better, so I ended up choosing that one.

1950s: "Rock Around The Clock"
1960s: "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In"
1970s: this is a tough one for me...maybe "Silly Love Songs"?
1980s: "Bizarre Love Triangle"
1990s: "I'll Make Love To You"
2000s: "All Star" (yes, I know it came out in 1999, but it ushered in the new decade with a vengeance and remained a strong musical representation of pop culture well into it...IMHO, of course)
