I deeply love both of those songs, but I believe the vast majority of teenagers will not appreciate them.

Just play any of a dozen Nirvana songs and get it over with

anyoe got any other suggestions?

Any popular James Brown song would impress kids in a positive way.

Rage Against the Machine, The Who, Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper, Judas Priest all have at least a few songs teenagers would recognize and appreciate.

OP, can you narrow down applicable genres? There's tons of good, non-crap songs teens will know.

Yes. Yes it is. I can scarcely believe those two songs got mentioned first.
