Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

I have many songs that really change the way I heard music. I would say when I first heard The Joshua Tree album, in particular the song In Gods Country. Just hearing that in stereo was extremely incredible. That studio album had so much going on in it that I couldn't stop listening to it. The Unforgettable Fire was also awesome. Hearing Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, were huge influences to me when I started playing guitar.
