Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Doesn't even come close to being my favourite Nirvana song, but it's the one that really got me to love rock music)
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven (I don't really like that much. It's here because it got me into classic rock)
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Hey Joe (Made me want to pick up a guitar and play it)
The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army (First ever song I learnt to play on the guitar)
Bob Dylan - Desolation Row (Another First. I remember trying to write the lyrics to my very first song after hearing this)
The follow are added just because I found them quite moving (even Metallica, as cheesy as that may seem).
Radiohead - Lucky
Metallica - To Live Is To Die
Temple Of The Dog - Say Hello To Heaven
Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacey, Jr
The Beatles - Blackbird
