Musical Memories: Your Musical Roots

I've been doing some reminiscing lately, and managed to recall a few of the very first songs that I liked as a child. Thought it might be cool to have a thread for everyone to post their earliest musical memories, so here it is. Post the first song(s) you remember really liking as a kid; the songs that shaped your musical palate.

What I remember liking from radio airplay and MTV:

Stevie Wonder - I Just Called to Say I Love You



Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F



Herbie Hancock - Rockit



Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal

And a few I remember my parents playing from their record collection that I liked:

Queen - Another One Bites the Dust



Black Sabbath - Iron Man



Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water



Led Zeppelin- Whole Lotta Love



So, let's hear it. What are your musical roots?

These songs are some of the earliest I remember hearing and loving as a child!

When I was little I used to love Tom Petty, apparently

I'm pretty indifferent to him now

Great stuff! Especially The Eurythmics, that's one of the first songs I remember, too. Thanks for posting.
