Alright, let's try this.
For each question, you can only answer one song. It can be the first that comes to mind, or you may think about it, but only one song per question. It can be your opinion, your personal taste or something you read in a magazine.
In a nutshell, each question ask you to name the epitome of the era.
So
-Which song represent best the progressive rock era?
-Which song represent best the disco era?
-Which song represent best the new wave era?
-Which song represent best the hair metal era?
-Which song represent best the grunge years?

I'll add more genre if people enjoy this. |

Only way I can do this is stream-of-consciousness, first thing that comes to mind. Otherwise I'll overthink it! 
Prog: Genesis - Firth of Fifth
Disco: Lipps Inc. - Funky Town (I hate most disco, tbh)
New Wave: Depeche Mode - People are People
Hair Metal: RATT - Round and Round
Grunge: Alice in Chains - Down in a Hole |

-Which song represent best the progressive rock era? ... 'Whiter Shade of Pale' by Procol Harum
-Which song represent best the disco era? ... 'Lady Marmalade' by Patti Labelle. Although I have to admit I like the version with Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Mya and Pink better.
-Which song represent best the new wave era? 'I Wanna Be Sedated' by the Ramones
-Which song represent best the hair metal era? ... 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' by Def Leppard
-Which song represent best the grunge years? ... Of course it's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' - that IS the song! |

I remember liking very much Lady Marmalade by Nanette Worman (female american singer who adopted Quebec and sang for the last 30 in French with an English accent, now that's resilient) |
