Florida: dave q how can you pick Marilyn Manson (a native Ohian anyway) over Sam & Dave's "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" (which would be the most kick-ass song for MM to cover in the whole world)?
Tennessee, tough one for me but gotta go with Booker T and the MGs "Green Onions" over anything Chilton-related or Nashville-related

so then, i will go with the Kingsmen "Louie, Louie", a mighty rock rosetta stone, with runner ups including:
Wipers "Youth Of America"Quasi "Ballad Of The Mechanical Man"Pond "Carpenter Ant"
and, of course, the 70's Portland band Doogie will be burned in my mind forever after working with one of its ex-members. Egads.

Scream was from Northern Virginia. This would be a worthy contender, but they lose to Dismemberment Plan, "...Gets Rich."
And now I'll do the obvious: DC (technically not a state, but WHATEVA), Fugazi, "Waiting Room."

-It evokes the experience of living in the state.-It's not too obvious.-It can hang with anything the other forty-nine states have to offer.
