Your age and the song that REALLY hooked you onto music?

I was listening to music since I was very young (I saw The Grateful Dead when I was four), having shared a room with my Nirvana-obsessed brother for nine years. I retroactively downloaded pop music since I was eleven years old. But what really hooked me into actively pursuing music as more than a pasttime was "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)" by Pink Floyd. I think I was in tenth grade at the time.

I started listening to rock music from all different decades. Less than a year ago, I decided it was time to broaden my horizons further and start listening to vastly different genres. And I did. Although I admit I can't stomach much heavy metal, hardcore, pop, or country, I have tried to accept them as best as I can. I now listen to virtually everything else and I finally enjoy it!

When I was a kid music was always around the house, but as I got older I started to actually pick out albums in his collection...mostly Beatles albums. By the time I was 10 I was listening to the local Top 40 station and buying 45's with my allowance. The first one I bought was a novelty record called The Streak by Ray Stevens.
