ok, when reading the thread title of this one, Start Me Up by The Stones came straight to mind...
it was back in 1981, i was 13ish and the charts were full of people like Spandau Ballet,Simple Minds and all that UK synth pop etc etc...and the opening riff of this Stones classic seemed unique at the time(i had no other exposure to Jagger and co prior to then except their disco-ish "emotional rescue") so this pricked my ears up for the first time since i first heard Punk in '77.
Queen's "another one bites the dust" did the same for me around the same time....
its strange i remember those two songs in that way as i am not a big fan of either band???
