La Grange on the jukebox when I was...like 12...and a cold Shiner in my hand. It’d be totally illegal in today’s scardy-cat world. But I loved the way that made me feel.

Can’t say one song exactly but the year was 1981.Great year for music. You had Start me Up from the Stones, Stop Dragging My Heart Around, Waiting for A Girl Like You, In the air of Night, Under Pressure, Burning for You, Urgent, The Breakup Song. Then you throw in AC/DC’s album for Those About To Rock, the Crue’s Too Fast For Love, Def Leppard’s High and Dry and it was a great time to be alive.

Couldn't tell you the actual first - probably something like "Eleanor Rigby" or "LA Woman".
Most recent was "Here Come the Warm Jets" by Eno.

GnR - Sweet Child O’ Mine
Not sure if it blew my mind but I was young and it was the coolest guitar playing I had heard.
Probably the biggest single factor in me wanting to learn to play the guitar.

Whole Lotta Love - Led Zep II . Had headphones and the swirling of sound around and around left a distant memory in my developing brain

Tool - 46 & 2
Changed the way I thought about music entirely and opened up my eyes to the band. Looking deeper into the lyrics also made me an amateur student of philosophy.

Chicago’s 25 Or 6 to 4
Yep and would love to know what mind altering substance Lamm was on when he penned the lyrics.
"There are a lot of unsubstantiated rumors regarding the meaning behind this song's lyrics. A popular rumor is that "6 to 4" was a nickname for LSD, because if you dropped acid at 6 p.m., the effects of the drug would wear off by 4 a.m., 10 hours later."
AND... and interesting tidbit about this song.
"Peter Cetera sang lead on this track - despite his jaw being wired shut. A few months before the recording session, the band went to a baseball game at Dodger Stadium, where their hometown team, the Chicago Cubs, beat the Dodgers, leaving four marines angry and ready to take their aggression out on someone. That someone was Cetera, who was singled out by his long hair as much as his team loyalty. The ensuing brawl sent him to intensive care with a jaw broken in three places. When it came time to record the song, his jaw was still wired shut.
"He had to learn to sing differently," producer James Guercio told Mix magazine. "I told him, 'I can't wait, we're gonna do this.'"
Cetera did his vocal through clenched teeth, which he adopted as a trademark singing style. After he left the band in 1985, his replacement, Jason Scheff, took over vocal duties on this song."

Shout it out Loud by KISS
The year was 1976 and I was nine years old. Somehow the single ended up in our yard (there were teens living next door so it might have come from them). I took the single to my bedroom and played it with my headphones on. I was blown away and have been a KISS fan since that day.

She Loves You, Beatles on Ed Sullivan. It was one thing to hear it on the radio but to see it done live was over the top for an 11 year old knothead

"Frankenstein" by The Edgar Winter Group.
I think Dave Grohl had the same experience.

An older kid’s dad had a bad arse home stereo. He dropped in Van Halen’s first cassette, just out, and cranked it up. I had not even heard of the band until that day, Running with the Devil, Eruption, You Really Got Me Now.
Holy shite. Blew me away.
I also remember being in a redneck pool hall when I first heard Another One Bites the Dust. People were going nuts over it.

Stone Temple Pilots and Core.
I had just started experimenting with drugs and that album blew my mind many times in my youth.
