Maggie's Farm by Bob Dylan

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter by Nirvana

All the Best by R.E.M.

Intro by The Prodigy (not a song, technically, but a clear statement of intent from Liam Howlett)

Hmm songmeanings.com has following opinion about the nirvana song:

Kurt said it himself that this song has no meaning and that it's a bunch of random poetry lines thrown together to a kick ass motherfucking melody. This is one of my favorite Nirvana songs.

Yeah, I'm going mainly by the ironic title to be honest - it always feels to me like Cobain's snarky response to studio pressure to make another Nevermind. I've not looked into closely though, I have to admit.

I agree that it’s still saying something about the music industry, just not with the specific lyrics, but rather with the sound and the title.
