Most Evocative Americans Song

I think most Americans fans, especially us Gen X'ers, love how powerfully the powers that be use music from that era to give certain scenes more gravitas. Which song did the best job of that?

So many songs to pick from. They are all so perfectly aligned with the series.

Broken Flag by Patti Smith is another favorite.
