Neil Young's "Rockin' In the Free World" from 1989
Brandi Carlisle!
Paul Simon performing "the Boxer" right after 9/11 is iconic and deserves to be on this list.
I was going to say this, but since you beat me to it all I can do is applaud you. 👏
Nobody does a live performance like Queen! Definitely one of the best!
Prince definitely deserves his spot. What an epic performance.💜
At the height of the pandemic and the orange president's election denial, the Foo Fighters delivered a gut wrenching, "Times Like These?" Anyone remember that? RiP Taylor Hawkins
Poor Sinéad O’Connor, she lost a lot of support after her amazing performance and she was 1000% right 😔
1992 she ripped apart the photo of the pope. The world owes her a huge apology. She was right. The whole fucking Church should have been ripped apart....not just a photo.
the real "They hate him because he told the truth" meme
Her documentary on Showtime was amazing.
@@heatherbesocial Oh thanks for reminding me! I had somehow just spaced on it. Will watch it tonight. :)
Sinead will always be my hero. She has courage.
Counting Crows doing "Round Here" was EPIC.
Neil Young's "Rockin' In the Free World" from 1989- the best ever!
For Bruno Mars and U2, I would have chosen 24K Magic and Elevation, respectively. I also would have expanded the list to a top 20 and included:
He Was the King - Neil Young
Give It Away - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Chasing Pavements - Adele
Clap Hands - Beck
Earth Intruders - Björk
Run (I’m a Natural Disaster) - Gnarls Barkley
That’s Not My Name - The Ting Tings
Headlines - Drake
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall - Coldplay
A-YO - Lady Gaga
Beth/Rest - Bon Iver
Fallingwater - Maggie Rogers
Right on Time - Brandi Carlile
How Dare You Want More - Bleachers
…Wait, that’s more than 20. A top 30, perhaps?
Pretty recent but I think Brandi Carlyle belongs on an extended list.
This video was 12:13 minutes of my life I will NEVER get back.🤦🏾♂
It feels so good to see all the "old" stuff. Idk if these are the most iconic stages of SNL, but I enjoyed every single one.
As usual, an Iconic Performance Top 10 is drowned out by excessive narration. Please. stop. talking.
Soul Man is my all-time favorite moment from SNL. Having said that, Here Comes the Sun deserved better than just an honorable mention.
I must agree: "Here Comes the Sun" is technically much harder to play on guitar than it sounds, it is a transcendent song, and Harrison and Simon's performance made it feel like time stood still for a few minutes. It dederved to be in the Top 5 for sure.
Jimmy Cliff - Many Rivers to Cross 1975. Brilliant
Natalie merchant 1995 Carnival... should definitely be in the top five.. check it out
The musicians who appeared in the 70s were amazing. I remember watching every Sat night & being blown away every week.
No Ashlee Simpson doing a jig?
😂!
Pavarotti and Vanessa Williams singing Adeste Fideles (along with the orchestra and the boys choir) is as powerful performance as you will see on SNL.
I love when Taylor Swift come out with the short film behind her when she was singing All too well it was so awesome It was like the best performance ever on SNL.
Because bleating about her ex from 10 years ago with Joe Joe The Love of Her Life present is the perfect way to get all her 13 year old fangirls on board, right, Wendy?
@@lefantomer WHAT??? if you're going to say something bad then spell it right. So, you're not a swift fan well I wasn't too I just like the music video that's all so go bitch somewhere else.
@@lefantomer NO ONE EVEN REMEMBERS JOE AND HER FANGIRLS ARE NOT 13 ANYMORE!
@@lefantomer Well, I'm 54, a guy, and I LOVE Taylor Swift., And although I don't think I'd call her "All Too Well" performance the Greatest Ever, I would definitely put it way up there. Let me put it this way: I've heard the song a million times; I don't know how many times I've watched that short film; and I haven't had anything resembling a romantic relationship in DECADES!
And that performance STILL MAKES ME TEAR UP! Taylor put it all out there that night. It was brilliant.
@@a.e.jabbour5003 Oh, I'm sure you do, nothing there that wouldn't make a 54 year old male feel, erm, young again. But hey, give it a try, that dishrag she's shacked up with can't be much competition and, if things go south with you, you'll have your very own "I Hate My Ex And Wish He'd Die In A Fire" song. Immortality!!
There's no fool like an old fool.
David Bowie how great!!
George Harrison and Paul Simon were epic.
Bruno Mars' 24k Magic performance was fantastic too.
great video
Skid Row Monkey Business was an amazing performance.
I always thought Prince’s Electric Chair performance on the 15th anniversary show was the best
Jack White’s performance was incredible 💙
Was fired up from the the thumbnail and the early part of the video but it was a solid list. Growing up with SNL in the the 80s and 90s I would nominate Living Colour, Pearl Jam, Snoop Dogg, Beastie Boys, and probably a few more because I am old lol
Pearl Jam’s ‘Alive’, U2 ‘Elevation’, and Kanye’s ‘Black Skinhead’ ‘Runaway’ or ‘Ultralight Beam’. The list is discredited without any of those.
1995 The Cranberries - Zombie on SNL was listed by Rolling Stone as one of the best performances on the show ever.
Yes! Blues Brothers & U2 Hands Down! 🎉🎶✨
Excuse me. "All Too Well" should be higher! It was 10 minutes long for crying out loud! How is Paul Simon's post 9/11 performance of "The Boxer" not included?!
10 minutes of whining and crying and wailing about a romance from 10 years back with the dude you're shacked up with right there?
Devo. Totally missed Devo's rendition of Satisfaction
Brilliant
What about Caleb (singer) and Monty (triangle, but “I like to sing…”)’s “Holiday Time, Holiday Cheer”?
I like James Taylor's appearance singing along with a tape player.
I didn't think The Blues Brothers would be on the list😄
maybe not an iconic performance but Nick Jonas singing this is heaven is one of the best performances on the last years of the show
If "icononic" is the word then where was Ashlee Simpson? Talk about iconic pop moments
Wow
I want to know what your rank is based on? Is it the watchmojo staff or the subscriber?
Oh yeah!
George Harrison was my favorite. There was one where George Harrison and Paul Simin (that is right - Pail Simon) performed together.
King Princess: Hit The Back!
No way Billie Eilish was even in the honourable mentions
What about INXS’ performance??
Billy joel Scenes From an italian Reastaurant live Long Island e Leave a tender moment alone duet with Tielemans in Wembley
Prince!!!!!!!!!! ☮️💟‼️
Pain in stomach and empty cavities try Crest!!!
Brandi Carlisle! ❤
"iconics"
C H O I C E S
Adele doing Chasing Pavements ignited her career in the US.
I thought those black contacts that Kendrick was wearing were kind of creepy. And why was he so sweaty before the performance even started?
Lmbo
Cocaine.
That’s a lot of doods
Never say that with your real name or Princess Tay Tay will send the flying monkeys to your house...
Sorry -- meant this to give Vonnie a thumbs up.
You mean duds.
@@lefantomer Hell I'm not afraid of them 😁😆
Bowie , one and only
When Elvis Costello finally came back and played Radio, Radio (again), with the Beastie Boys. . . Doesn't. Get. Any. Better.
🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉
Blues Brothers... 'nuff said... KDM
Bobby McFerrin did Drive for his second tune back in the day, it's beyond compare and easily worthy of this list.
I would have thought that Lil nas x and his pants-ripping rendition of call me by your name would have gotten an honorable mention
Taylor Swift’s Monologue Song is maybe even more iconic - hey, Joe.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
kendric lamar is unforgettable? ok
Half of these choices are not deserving. To be iconic, they must be memorable! Where are the Foos? Gaga? RHCP? Adele? U2?
All had to make room for Queen Tay-Tay -- or she'd write a hate song about the list.
Meatloaf all revved up if you saw it you know what I'm talking about
No one must have told EC going off script on live TV is a no-no. Everyone behind the scenes was pissed...
Prefer "Elevation" by U2 which marked the 20th anniversary of John Lennon's murder. Also Neil Young in 1990 played "Rockin In The Free World" so hard his string broke. He followed up with "The Needle and the Damage Done" and "No More"
I would've included "Swish Swish" by Katy Perry and the Ashlee Simpson jig.
Number one is either going to be Ashlee Simpson (her second performance during her first SNL appearance, anyway) or Fear.
Wow, not even honorable mentions.
@@COMPFUNK2 because they weren't honorable.
stevie wonder’s performance of superstition is better than these
Would have liked to see Beck on the list. "Blue Moon" & "Say Goodbye" were awesome on SNL.
KURT COBAIN YESSSSS
Poor Sinead O'Connor
so many are gone now...sad
Prince. Yes.
Not a great song, but “Swish Swish” should be on here. First time anybody saw Flossing.
Nothing like the 90s
My favorite Prince SNL performance was with 3rdEyeGirl
Prince Electric Chair should have been there
David Bowie sang that Nirvana song 🤡
What about MILEY CYRUS NUMEROUS PERFORMANCES CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED…!?
🙄
Very disappointed Cypress Hill didn't make this list, let alone #1...they were banned after their SNL performance. If that isn't iconic...nothing is.
Yeaaah. Nirvana!
You missed the B-52s and Devo.
-> 🤔 Maybe We're The 1st Spiritist* Pop-Metal Or Rock Band In This World...
But Don't Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, HaHa ❤
*NOTE:
-> Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries...
*
this video would be enjoyable if the narrator spoke less and let the music play
Stop including Taylor Swift in each and every of your music top vids (unless you get paid for that, of course ;)
Love her!
Taylor Swift. Give me an effin BREAK....
Sinead was disgusting and vile and you are also for agreeing with her. She ended up like she should have.
I disagree with the entire list! Taylor Swift had so many great performances that you could have chosen! I personally hate long songs, I literally fast-forward to the good part. Taylor's "Bejeweled" I fast-forward the entire beginning till the music starts. I disagree with your list.
🙄
🙄🙄🤢🤢🤮😂😂😂
Queen, Nirvana, David Bowie, Prince, Harrison & Simon, Blues Bros... All Iconic performances. Elish, Swift and Lamar.... Trash
Kind of hard to enjoy the performances when you're talking over the top of them the whole time. Useless clickbait.
I love Taylor swift
Have Mommy and Daddy forked over the five grand for you to go to her stadium concert yet?
Britney Spears
🙄
Taylor should have been higher on the list
Come on, the exes are already having to hide their families from her. Your ticket sales crashed the internet. What the H more do you want?
@@lefantomer what does any of that have to do with her talent and capability of writing a song. She is an amazing artist and a great performer.
@@sabrinadarnell1019 You wish. And songs about Joe-Joe won't sell millions of albums and stadium seats, will they? Who was this one about? Zac Efron? Prince Harry? That Kennedy kid she tried to bird-dog before the family waved her off? Oh, no, wait... she made sure we'd know...
Your Tay-Tay is not fit to carry Joni Mitchell's used guitar pick. It's just the way pop music is, now.
@@lefantomer is she wasn't a great artist and performer she wouldn't b the top selling artist or top streaming artist. If she wasn't great she would be selling out stadiums.
🙄
Eh, Megan thee stallion? Lizzo?
🙄
id put Taylor swift's performer higher on the list
🙄
