for who?POTO is the most iconic music
You mean the number one among top disliked music choices voted by fans? :cool14:POTO is the most iconic music
If iconic means strongly associated with one skater/skating pair, here are a few:
Michelle Kwan: East of Eden
Janet Lynn: Afternoon of a Faun
Torvill/Dean: Bolero
Sasha Cohen: Romeo and Juliet
These are pieces that the skaters have used multiple times-in exhibitions as well as competitive programs-- and that have become kind of like signature pieces for them. I don't think warhorses like Rach 2, Danse Macabre, Swan Lake etc. can count as iconic to any one skater/skating pair unless the skater has sort of adopted it as their own--and so far none has. I wouldn't be surprised to see Moulin Rouge become iconic for Ashley Wagner.
ETA: Re Swan Lake: I would say it's iconic as to Oksana Baiul.
I was going to mention that piece. It's my all time favorite SP of hers. I think I like it better than her first Olympic SP to Rach.<p>
Bolero... I see T&D when I hear the music. Doesn't matter who is actually on the ice. I'm never satisfied when someone else skates to it. They can't compare to my memories.<p>
Oh, you mentioning them reminded me of something I forgot to include in my earlier post.
Any time I hear "Take Me To Church" by Hozier, all I can think of is Papadakis / Cizeron. Admittedly, that might be because I hadn't heard the song before I saw them skating to it. (Ironic, given that the singer is Irish!)
Like Zhiganshina / Gazsi and their "Zombie Dance" programme, I have since seen somebody else do a programme using this song, and I didn't like it. But, like Anna Pogo and "Rise Like A Phoenix", I do think this is the definitive programme for Gabriella and Guillaume.

Is that the same "Zombie Dance" that Elena Radionova did a nice exhibition programme to after her first win at junior worlds?

So many skaters have done Adiós Nonino (I think I made a Youtube playlist at some point, which makes me think Patrick Commentates Skating should do a Warhorse Wednesday special on it, lol), but Yuna really elevated it. It has a similar quality to Michelle’s Lyra Angelica in that when you’re watching it you forget it’s figure skating, you forget it’s a competition with compulsory elements, it all just comes together beautifully as a whole. I’d be hard-pressed to imagine anyone doing a better interpretation of it after that.
That's HD video, so rare!! :luv17:Here is what I think of when I hear Adios Nonino. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1XaKf3ssiM
