A couple of obscure ones - for me a very important one - "New Rose" by The Damned. I was totally bored with music in the mid-70's, and then I heard Sir John Peel play this on his late-night programme and I became totally hooked on Punk and New Wave - happy days and great music!

Also "Coming On Strong" by Broken English - a great rocker!
