I'd argue that the 808 kick drum is the most iconic sound with the cowbell being a close second. I do love that cowbell, though!

I think the kick is most iconic with producers and people into electronic music, but the cowbell is most iconic with the general public.

The cowbell instantly makes me think of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)".

After hearing the tone, I immediately thought the same thing! Such a great song.
