I came up with the idea that maybe one song could be known as THE song to define a genre (I know this can't be true, but I wanted to find the closest thing).
So, I've looked through my dubstep collection and narrowed it down to 20 that could be considered THE dubstep tune
Darkstar - Aidy's Girl's A Computer
Massive Music - Find My Way (Kode9 Remix)
Coki - Officer
Vex'd - Pop Pop VIP
Digital Mystikz - Haunted
Burial - Archangel
Kromestar - Kalawanji feat. Cessman
Peverelist - Roll with the Punches
RSD - Pretty Bright Light
Untold - Kingdom
Pinch - Qawwali
Skream - Midnight Request Line
Loefah - Mud
Cluekid - Hovercraft
Distance - V
Horsepower Productions - Gorgon Sound
Artwork - Red
Benga - Evolution
Boxcutter - Glyphic
Pangaea - Router
make any suggestions you'd like, or pick any from my list
they don't have to be a certain age or anything, just whatever you think embodies the idea of dubstep the best
and remember this is just a little fun, don't turn it into some ticky tack argumentative ish

You are asking for a tune to encompass a genre which is at best abstractly defined, and more than likely formless.
This is largely impossible.

Couldn't pick just one. But I think that's a good list. Could use a lil Rama tho

For the future garage/post-dubstep UK Bass sound...
Jamie XX- Far Nearer truly says everything about the genre in one song, imo

What the fuck are you on about? That tune says nothing about anything.

almost put on "Don't Change for Me" but had to narrow it down
