Late to the party, but here are my favourite singles by the aforementioned

 

Queen - Seven Seas of Rhye

Led Zep - Rock & Roll

Bowie - Rebel Rebel or John I'm Only Dancing

Stones - She's a Rainbow or As Tears Go By (I love Far Away Eyes, but I think that was only a B side).

Barry White - none, they're all equally detestable.
