What is the first song: 1: that you can remember, 2. that blew your mind?

I'm 50 now. 1'st song I'm embarrased to say was Partridge Family "I Think I Love You".
Later in life, Zep took over. "Whole Lotta Love".

:thmbsp: for "Whole Lotta Love"!!! I first heard it on a K-Tel Sounds of the Seventies viynl set.

also jammed out to Three Dog Night's "Jerimiah was a Bullfrog"

Black Sabbath Vol. 4 was the beginning of the end
 
First song I can really remember... Don't Rock the Boat - Hues Corporation, That would have made me 10 years old, as it was the year it came out. 1974 Probably right after that the song I remember the most was Feel Like Making Love - Bad Company, released the same year. BOth songs I remember where I was at, who was with me, and what I was doing... freaky...

First song that blew me away: Electric Funeral - Black Sabbath. Heard that in probably 1976 or 77...

There were other songe before Electric Funeral that I really liked such as Rollercoaster(Ohio Players) Holy Ghost(Barkays) 50 Ways to Leave your Lover (Paul), but Electric Funeral just had the darkenss and speed that I seemed to suddenly crave all in one song.. BTW.. Alice Cooper was the first LP I ever bought, so yep, I was hooked on dark heavy R&R
 
First song I can remember hearing is aypples and banaynays back in kindergarten, or any of the theme songs from the shows my parents and grandparents used to watch when I was really little, but the first pop song would be any of the countless number of new wave songs my mom played back in the 80s when I was a little kid. I used to request aqualung and carly simon's coming around again from my dad a lot too when I was really little. This is a tough question...

First song that really blew my mind and took me to another place would be Burning of the Midnight Lamp by Jimi Hendrix. I used to listen to this song over and over again with headphones after participating in a "common teenage ritual" ;)
 
First song I really remember rocking out too was Summer of 69 remember it vividly and the first song to really blow my mind and send shivers down my spine is S.R.V. Live at the El Macombo - Lenny .... Friggin amazing live performance by a man looking like he's about to die but pure soul pouring out .... If you haven't seen this performance I suggest you search for it .... A close second for me is S.R.V. again but playing Riviera Paradise
 
First song, songs were when I was three or four listening to my Mom play her old Elvis 45's. Love Me Tender still sticks out.

Blows my mind. Rush 2112, or Hemispheres. They both still give me goose bumps

The eastern-tinged guitar flourish following the MEGA drum solo on YYZ still amazes me :thmbsp:
That older RUSH kicks major ass!!!
 
First song? Tough one.... "Yellow submarine" by the Beatles.
Song that blew my mind? I think "Hey Jude" by the Beatles.

Yeah... the older RUSH stuff is awesome. My High School years.
 
The first song was "Wake up Little Suzie" by the Everly Brothers. I'd walk around singing it all day. I was 4.

The first song that blew my mind was Jenny Take a Ride/ Good Golly Miss Molly: Mitch Rider and the Detroit Wheels!
 
The first song I remember was That Happy Feeling by Bert Kaempfert at my grandmother's cottage. The first song that did it was Chest Fever by The Band.
 
"American Pie" by Don McLean

"Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zepplin

"Heard it Through the Grapevine" version by Creedance Clearwater Revival
 
first song i remember - springsteen's "jungleland", the sax solo especially
first song that blew my mind - "hey jude"
 
1st song i remember: nat king coles, 'ramblin' rose'.

to 'blow my mind': beach boys, 'do ya wanna dance'.
in the '60s/'70s , we lived on a lake in sw nh and in the summer everyone had their docks, boats, and floats in the water.
there was a hot looking girl 'bout 4 years older than me (i was ~14 or so), susee, who sunbathed in a bikini every nice day on their float.
i used to play 'do ya wanna dance' on our old victrola windup hoping she could hear it. i doubt she could-float was a few hundred yards away.

but i sure put some big grooves in the '45 from the old victrola.:music:
 
Flying Purple People Eater-- Sheb Woolley

Hava Nagila- King of the Surf Guitar, Dick Dale and the Deltones
 
1st song
Ramblin Rose--------Nate King Cole

Blew me away
Purple Haze--------Jimi Hendrix
 
Funny I was just recalling this last night, for me it was Jerry Rafferty "Baker Street"..............this was the first song that really had me excited and tho it may not make many lists I still love playing this song and album.
 
My parents really liked the Dire Straits so.......

The first song I remember is Money For Nothing, and I guess my mom was really embarrassed at Church one time when I was a little over 2. She was dropping me off to Jr. Church and I broke out in to "get your money for nothing and your chicks for free":D

The Dire Straits bias passed on to me, and when I was a little older (probably 5 or 6) I was listening to the title track off Brothers In Arms and was just blown away! I cranked it and listened to it quite a few times, my father said, and I still faintly remember it.

The next time was Daydream by Robin Trower, and He has been my favorite ever since!
 
Besides church music or nursery rhyme type songs, I remember as a little tyke being called into the living room to watch Elvis sing to a dog....yep, "Hound dog"....Steve Allen, right before my 4th birthday...I had my stuffed hound dog in my grubby little hands watching him sing....

First song to blow my mind?
The Beatles, "I wanna Hold Your Hand"...it was so different from the Hillbilly crap that pervaded the airwaves, and worlds apart from the "Bobby Sox" type of rock prevalent then...
