Most Influential songs

[beautiful_death]

I would like to know what songs are the most influential in your lives. And if you like, explain your reasons.

Mine are:
Zero - Smashing Pumpkins (the old teen angst of high school)
Rapper's Delight - Sugarhill Gang (the pioneering hip-hop record)
Bulls on Parade - Rage Against the Machine
Easy - Lionel Richie (I used to listen to him during my childhood)
Bullet with Butterfly Wings - Smashing Pumpkins (again, high school days)

Hoobastank - Just One : My life in a nutshell.
SR-71 - Goodbye : Brought about my hate for my old middle school, focussed it into a laser beam.
Within Temptation - Stand my Ground : Kept my sanity in place for the entire middle-school experience.
Enya - Only If : Encompasses my passion for getting up and doing real things through simple new-age music.

Jaded - Aerosmith (My themesong)
Try - Nelly Furtado (Outlook and Obligation to those I love)
The Middle - Jimmy Eat World (First song that played on the car radio when my mom ran away from my stepdad)

There's only really one:
Days of the Phoenix - AFI
The first AFI song I ever heard, that band has gotten me through a lot and if it wasn't for DotP I probably would never even have discovered them.
