Help!
It was the most influential song in rock history, for two reasons:
It wasn’t just a cheesy love song, and - a remarkably underrated thing that we take for granted today - like all the early Beatles songs, they wrote it themselves.
It created modern rock and roll.

London Calling - The Clash
Brought punk to the masses.
Blue Monday

Yes. Yes. Yes.
I've been arguing for years that Blue Monday is the most enduring, important song from the 80s. So many wonderful remixes and remakes, even today through the gift of EDM. It's as fresh now as it was when it was first released.
Who knew Bernard Sumner's 3 note vocal range would create the 80s best track.
I love it. My kids love it. And their kids will love it. An absolute banger.
Rocket 88, Maybellene, Satisfaction, Blitzkrieg Bop

If I defined the concept of "important" in the context of your post, you'd hate it, no matter what
... it was.
So that's the reason for my question.
I wouldn't let Jim's imbecility prevent you from offering some selections.
He doesn't even know what he means by "important." He just knows that some hck used that term in the past with reference to music, so he's using it.
Time - Pink Floyd
