Well I guess when you're 11 and see your first music video on tv ever (we didn't have cable) and there's some guy smashing things a grabbing his crotch... I dunno, I think that was the beginning of the end of my innocence.
Also, because it was my fist music video, it had an impact on me personally. I had never seen or even heard of music videos before that and suddenly there was this whole other 'form' of music - it was intriguing...
I don't really remember Thriller as being a big deal, but then again, I was only 2 so...

My childhood ended when John Lennon was shot.
My adulthood began when Kurt Cobain died.
Other things that stick out in my memory...
When the people were trampled at The Who concert,when Slash said the "F" word on the Grammy's TV show, when Metallica lost to Jethro Tull for Best Metal album at the Grammy's,when Vince Neil got into the car crash that killed the Hanoi Rocks drummer Razzle,when Randy Rhoads(sp?) died,when Ozzy bit the head off the bird and the bat,when Steve Clarke from Def Leppard died, the first time Eric Clapton's acoustic "Layla" was performed,when Freddie Mercury form Queen died AND who could EVER forget the first time we saw and EXPERIENCED the almost profound Dance "Silver Springs" performance?

My computer is freaking out and I can't seem to be able to go back and edit my posts To elbaborate on the "unforgettableness" of my first time of seeing The Dance - I had people over, two of them were BIG men, one an ex-football player the other a biker. Both of them were choked up and had tears in their eyes after experiencing "Silver Springs" and BOTH of them were not FM fans before. It was amazing for me to watch the performance MYSELF but to see these two pillars of masculinity reduced to jello just FLOORED me!!!
Honorable mention - Page/Plant's re-emergence in the mid/late 90's - I was expecting to see a Geritol rehash of old hits, but was pleasantly surprised to hear Plant hitting those notes in "Kashmir" and to hear the new slants on old tunes....and added somewhat plus were the couple of new things they did....

Has no-one mentioned Mick Fleetwood 'presenting' the Brit Awards? LOL!

Talking of Brit awards another memorable moment was when Jarvis Cocker of Pulp got on stage when Michael Jackson was performing...anyone else remember that?

Wasn't he with that oh so talented tart Samantha Fox

As for me:

Led Zepplin - anytime anywhere - to quote Stevie "really almost too much talent on stage"

The advent of MTV (and the drama surrounding it), which soon lead to the magnificent Gypsy video, which I maintain soldified La Nicks in the pop culture icon status.

Nirvana - never really been anything like them since IMO

Silver Springs in The Dance performance - SHEEBUS

On a larger scale, Elvis P. and The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.

There are many more, some of which have already been mentioned.
