Either lyrically or musically that made you sit up or just wowed you.
I will start with a lyric one and quite a way in front of the green stuff we have these days.
Surprised this has never been picked up by them and would Mr. Lydon let them use it?

Why not he would get royalties? I see he is considering entering Eurovision now.
 
Most of Chuck Berry's music in the late 50's and early 60's. Didn't Jonny B Goode get banned at first?

Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" was considered ahead of its time in 1977. I always remember it because one of the lads on our street used to think she was singing about Highfield Road !!!!!

Honey & Menthol.

Soothing & clearing - surely they saw the future for temporary relief of nasal congestion right there in the form of a single reasonably priced sugary sweet-based confection?

Genius! Lockets merely stepped weakly in their pioneering shadow.
 
Interesting seeing the love and respect people now have for electronic music.

Even up to 10 years ago it would have been sacrilege to post a track of that type under a thread like this.

So true. I was watching New Order recently with John Robb who wrote this quoting me!

“…the 20 ‘weirdoes’ in every town as my old mate Martin Kelly – former Membraneskeyboard player – points out tonight as we chat before he disappears back into the huge crowd. Pop culture is often these micro scenes that are eventually embraced after being looked on with total bafflement by the mainstream decades later .”
 
Cos I'm re-learning how to play bass, I was listening to the chain by Fleetwood Mac. It goes from a folksy ballad with country overtones to full on metalesque to romping pop song in the space of five minutes. I'll second the vote for I feel love as well,
 
Anyone for Gary Numan and Tubway Army as was with Are Friends Electric.?

Although I do prefer this updated version.
