What song(s) turned you onto the Dead?

So my fellow Deadheads what song(s) did you first listen to that got you into The Grateful Dead?
For me one day my friend and I were in an abandoned trailer in his trailer park just getting high and listening to music. Then my friend put on Ripple. It was one of the greatest songs I had ever heard. I might have not known it then but that's the day I became a Deadhead.

Uncle John's Band
I only had Workingman's Dead and Aoxomoxoa for the first year I knew of the Grateful Dead. I didn't know anything of the culture around the shows or how they had roots in the acid tests. I had seen some tie-dyes and decided I would try buying a couple albums.
Mountains of the Moon was my second favorite song for a while.
They aren't my favorites anymore, but I can't say I really have favorites now. I really like live recordings and studio albums, so there is a lot to choose from.
I do have a favorite Garcia album. Lonesome Prison Blues

Fire on the mountain is a super close second though.

Call me an ass, but the singles. When my dad was around he listened to a ton of tunes but never ever got very into the Dead (which surprises me).
Sugar Magnolia is still my favorite. Then maybe Touch of Grey.
But I dunno, I have a bunch of their jams I just play on hungover Sunday mornings while I rip the bong and drink tea.

Come to think of it, Jack Straw might have been the first GD tune that I can remember hearing. You've got me poking around my CD collection, it's been a long time.
