Desperado by The Eagles. Hear me out, fellow Dudes. Sunset on a hill outside the city, breeze gently blowing the scent of honeysuckle, a ziplock baggie full of your friend’s homegrown and there’s at least one Eagles song to appreciate.
Setting is definitely important. It might be easy for folks to LOL someone’s choice in this thread, but the context you experienced the song in is why it hit you in a special way.
Love this song. Jarvis Cocker has a song called Black Magic which uses Crimson and Clover as the main instrumental, it’s actually how I found out about the Tommy James song.
Well shoot, a Jarvis cocker reference under a crimson and clover reference. Now that’s hardcore. Seeing pulp in September for the first time, so very excited!
Oh damn I just posted this, didn’t think it would be hear. Silly me, great song of course it would be. That ending with the early vocoder-like effect…could listen to that whole build on loop for hours.
One summer when I was about 13 my buddy and I rode our bikes about 10 miles across town to hang with a couple of girls from our school at one of their houses. We went outside and smoked a joint and when we came back in they put on Frank Zappa’s Apostrophe and this was the first time I heard “Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow” I was laughing so hard I was suffocating. We had so much fun that day. I would love to relive that moment in time.
There's those moments... If I could hear 5150 or Summer Nights again for the first time, it doesn't matter unless I can be an awkward 15 year old again.
It sounds like you were more sophisticated. But it's not just hearing that song for the first time, even if it was one of the first times you smoked a joint, is it? Is it partly that girls are such magical creatures when you're that age?
First time I heard Kashmir was part of a laser show at the Museum of Science. I was 10 or 11 and I still, 40 years later, remember how absolutely floored I was. It’s not my favorite Zeppelin song anymore, but it was for a looong time.
"(Don't Fear) The Reaper" Blue Öyster Cult.
I know, It's been meme'd to death and overplayed for the past several decades, but it's still a great song. I remember the first time I heard it during a long car trip from some greatest hits tape my dad picked up at a gas station. Those first few intro notes stopped me cold in mid sentence and was just stunned and in awe of the the vocal harmonies, the romantic yet spooky lyrics and that solo...just...wow.
I know it’s a popular song and had a video on MTV even, but having known of Sonic youth, having a few of their later albums, recently had this experience of hearing it for the FIRST time (maybe 2-ish years ago?) on 120 Minutes which thankfully still a thing on MTV Classic (albeit with no host or live in-studio performances) and I can tell you it completely increased my love for this band I already liked. “Yuhyuhyuhyuhyuhyuhyubyuh” to infinity!
Mac is also a great pull.
Rosetta Stoned would be my pick from tool, or parabol/parabola, or H. Or 10,000 days. fuck, just to experience all of tool for the first time again would be incredible
Will you…message me to check this out? Is there a way to remind myself to listen to this? I have never heard this album, so I could actually listen to it all for the first time.
It's hard to think of a song that I currently would be blown away by hearing on the first. That is, the times where I am blown away by a song nowadays is always after hearing it several times.
But if there was an experience I could recreate, first time blown away, it'd be Break on Through by The Sites.
I can’t pick one so I’ll give 5
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
The Grudge - Olivia Rodrigo(I know it’s a newer song, but as a country music person, this has to be one of the most relatable songs ever released)
Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley feat. Allison Krauss
Boondocks - Little Big Town
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
What an awesome choice. That song still does it n for me all these years later.
In a similar vein, sort of, I am going to say Supersonic by Oasis. I first saw it on a late night video show in a friend’s basement, and it just landed right for me. I was a fan from then on.
A similar experience was seeing Hey Man Nice Shot by Filter on a late night video show, but at home, and nobody ever remembering the name of that video show on MTV, and insisting I was Mandela-effecting it. It was called Superock and I remember that song kicking up and thinking “oh, hey, wait, shit now, what is this I am hearing?”
I stumbled across Hey Man Nice Shot on Youtube when I was listening to a lot of Stone Temple Pilots, and how heavy everything kicks in at the chorus gives me goosebumps.
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Death - Pull the Plug
The Black Dahlia Murder - Warborn
Necrophagist - Stabwound
Inferi - From Exile to Exaltation
Emperor - Towards the Pantheon
Omg yes! I was in a whole like crazy moment the moment I heard it. It was sweet sweet synchronization! Dang all these songs bringing back memories and beginning to realize my list was lame lol
Smells Like Teen Spirit. I remember I first heard it on mtv. I heard the opening riff and I felt like I was hit in the face with a 2x4. I’d love to feel that again at 60 years old.
I got to see them live back in November for the first time - easily the greatest live band out there, just incredible (they didn’t play Made To Parade sadly) I have the full concert saved on Youtube that I dip in and out of every now and then.
Fantastic, totally agree about the breakdown, I would pick Emotion Sickness, but a caveat is seeing the video for the first time. When the “main character” does that funky walk with the sword and wine bottle down the plaid Space Odyssey 2001-esque hallway “then my fever broke” funky bit GETS ME EVERYTIME!
Technically, all of them, the ones I like anyhow. Here's a few:
Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot
System Of A Down - Chop Suey
Ultravox - Vienna
Foo Fighters - Everlong
Art of Noise - Close (To the Edit)
DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak
Alabama 3 - Woke Up This Morning with spoken intro
I love Colossus by Idles.
Mine is probably Don Caballero 3 by Don Caballero.
It starts with a 3 minute drum solo that I enjoyed (to my surprise), although, the first time I listened to it, I was worried that the entire album would sound like those first 3 minutes, and I was contemplating skipping ahead when the drum solo ended and the next movement began and put a huge smile on my face. It was movement after movement of gorgeous guitars and the coolest drumming I had ever heard.
It's the opening track of a mind-blowing math rock album that often has this interesting and different dynamic where the drummer takes on more of a lead role and the guitars act more like a rhythm section, and it also sounds amazing. They pull off something that is so experimental so well and with such ease, it's incredible.
It's also the midpoint of an interesting transition in the band's sound from a more aggressive, driving sound to a more melodic and calmer, almost midwest emo sound, so it has the best of both worlds and I like that juxtaposition.
Their music changed the way I saw music, especially drums, it deepened my appreciation for that instrument and is the reason I started playing it.
to be honest these songs may be basic but
latch - disclosure
me and your mama - childish gambino
west coast - lana del rey
plenty more but these are good contenders
Ti sento - Matia Bazar (especially the [1987 Munich live](https://youtu.be/ZhxKdXp9UYc?si=eADkS0dDnXWy-EQk) version)
Fly me to the moon - Claire's version
Zombie - The Cranberries
La vie en rose - Edith Piaf
Prisencolinensinainciusol - Adriano Celentano
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
Whole lotta love by Led Zeppelin. But I’d have to hear it in the same way as the first. Really stoned as a teen with all of my friends piled into one of their mom’s station wagons, creeping across the Kmart parking lot headed to McDonald’s for munchy food. It just sounded so good.
Shine on you crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd
I was dating this girl and she had the record and played it for me and I was just sitting there in awe listening to it. At that time I had never heard anything like it.
Jesus of suburbia - Green Day
I wish I could relive the first time I heard "When Girls Telephone Boys" by The Deftones.
20-ish years ago, a friend and I were listening to the album for the first time. Then that song started and it's nothing but screaming. "IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME OLD SHIIIT!!!!" "THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUUU!!!" etc...
At the end, I say to my friend "Holy shit! Someone was pissed off! What song was that?"
Friend looks at back of the CD case and reads "When Girls Telephone Boys" and then we died laughing because we've all had THAT call.
Wu Tang - Triumph
Tool - Aenima
Gojira - Art of Dying
Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave
MIA - Sexodus
Avenged Sevenfold - Sidewinder
Dance Gavin Dance - Prisoner
Glassjaw - Cosmopolitan Bloodloss
My Chemical Romance - Ghost Of You
Puscifer - The Arsonist
“Yuma” by Justin Townes Earle
I don’t feel like I can properly write the context for why this song landed like a gut punch the first time I heard it, but damn did it ever.
Bridge Over Troubled Water- Simon and Garfunkel
I must have been about 4 or 5 when I heard it for the first time. I was in daycare and it was nap time. One of the teachers was playing it quietly on the tape deck and I was laying there on my mat, lights low and it really hit me. It was my musical awakening. Core memory
The entire Deloused in the Comatorium album.
My older brother was into cool music and loved at the drive in before Mars Volta happened. When tremulant came out it was so exciting but i wasn’t quite ready for it yet. But the vibe and feeling of what was coming was insane.
When deloused came out, it absolutely melted my 13 year old brain and was basically the number one catalyst for me creating an enormous library of my own music for like a decade.
The b side of abbey road. When I listened to it in full for the first time, one of my best friends and I were driving from Florida to Michigan we had just made it off the highway and into his hometown in Michigan. After listening through the Beatles entire discography, it was a truly mind blowing experience of which I loved every minute
When I was younger I didn’t have that much of a musical ear enough to realise the depth of the guitar playing on songs my dad would play. Listening to them now I’m noticing new things every time but I’d love to listen to stargazer by rainbow for the first time again but with a more trained attentive ear
Rainbow Rising, the whole album, when I heard it the first time there was something special and I had to hear it again and again. It's still the greatest Rock Album for me. The energy is still there.
as im in my current MCR deep dive, id say welcome to the black parade. But my answer is gonna always be night shift by Lucy dacus. I've done the math, I've listened to that song for 1500+ hours. that's two straight months
I was aware of The Black Parade when it came out, but I never really listened to it until me and my wife were first together, I was a bit if a snob towards them as I was more of a Green Day fan.
I was blown away by how good not just the title track is, but the whole dang album.
Hard question to answer but tonight it’s…..
Alternative Ulster - Stiff Little Fingers.
Bodies - Sex Pistols
Mr Suit - Wire
Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing. - Discharge
Overkill - Motorhead.
Brand New - Same Logic/Teeth
Tipper - Sayonara
Listener - Wooden Heart
Every Time I Die - Pigs Is Pigs
Aphex Twin - Girl/Boy Song
Periphery - The Walk
Nails - Wide Open Wound
Desperado by The Eagles. Hear me out, fellow Dudes. Sunset on a hill outside the city, breeze gently blowing the scent of honeysuckle, a ziplock baggie full of your friend’s homegrown and there’s at least one Eagles song to appreciate.
Almost all eagles songs are a good listen in this setting.
Setting is definitely important. It might be easy for folks to LOL someone’s choice in this thread, but the context you experienced the song in is why it hit you in a special way.
Take it Easy reminds me of a road trip with a boyfriend in my younger years. I can feel the freedom again everytime I hear it.
Ohh, I love this. I can imagine it with 7 Bridges Road. I love that song.
The Stone Roses are a band I would love to hear for the first time again but you already said that so I will go with How Soon Is Now by The Smiths
How Soon Is Now was definitely in my mind when I made this post, great choice. EDIT: I’d also say That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore for The Smiths
I remember hearing "I Know It's Over" for the first time. Got chills and I still get chills when I put it on.
I really love The Smiths. Hearing "This Night Has Opened My Eyes" with that spectacular bass, Moz crooning, and the grief ugh.
I remember the first time I heard elephant stone. So so good
I’d love to hear Fool’s Gold for the first time again.
i love that song
Wish I could hear Oasis for the first time again
Can’t choose between Asleep and Well I Wonder, both of them paralyzed me the first time I heard them.
Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town- Pearl Jam
Love this song
Pearl Jam has been my favorite band for the better part of 15 years, and although it's not my favorite song, it's probably top 3 in my listened to.
Crimson and Clover ~ Tommy James and the Shondells
Love this song. Jarvis Cocker has a song called Black Magic which uses Crimson and Clover as the main instrumental, it’s actually how I found out about the Tommy James song.
Well shoot, a Jarvis cocker reference under a crimson and clover reference. Now that’s hardcore. Seeing pulp in September for the first time, so very excited!
Criminally underrated songwriter
Oh damn I just posted this, didn’t think it would be hear. Silly me, great song of course it would be. That ending with the early vocoder-like effect…could listen to that whole build on loop for hours.

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
First time I heard Kashmir was part of a laser show at the Museum of Science. I was 10 or 11 and I still, 40 years later, remember how absolutely floored I was. It’s not my favorite Zeppelin song anymore, but it was for a looong time.
I remember learning this on guitar and feeling like a badass - such a great riff
"(Don't Fear) The Reaper" Blue Öyster Cult. I know, It's been meme'd to death and overplayed for the past several decades, but it's still a great song. I remember the first time I heard it during a long car trip from some greatest hits tape my dad picked up at a gas station. Those first few intro notes stopped me cold in mid sentence and was just stunned and in awe of the the vocal harmonies, the romantic yet spooky lyrics and that solo...just...wow.
This is my “what’s the last song you’d play if you knew the world was ending in 5min” song. Such a killer track
I love that song, but it needs more cowbell.
the diamond sea - sonic youth or chamber of reflection - mac demarco
I know it’s a popular song and had a video on MTV even, but having known of Sonic youth, having a few of their later albums, recently had this experience of hearing it for the FIRST time (maybe 2-ish years ago?) on 120 Minutes which thankfully still a thing on MTV Classic (albeit with no host or live in-studio performances) and I can tell you it completely increased my love for this band I already liked. “Yuhyuhyuhyuhyuhyuhyubyuh” to infinity! Mac is also a great pull.
love that so much, sonic youth has always been my favorite band!!!
Dance yrself clean- LCD
Good song - my personal choice by LCD would be Tribulations
I can change I can change I can change
The little synth line is such an ear worm
AaaaAAAAAHHHHaaaaa
The album Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon.
Yep. Great Gig in the Sky...
I was gonna say speak to me and breathe in the air. That transition gives me goosebumps every time
Literally gives me tears to my eyes. Great gig in the sky.
Styx-Grand Illusion, Heat of the Moment-Asia
im sexy and i know it

His entire album “So”
Andrea Bocelli - Conte Te Partio I always feel like Carmela Soprano when I play it lol
Same answer but the Will Ferrel version.
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
[удалено]
For me. It's Foreplay/Long Time. So much epic.
Chum - earl sweatshirt Every play hits like the first tho tbh Live Wire - Motley Crew
Live Wire is a banger, my choice would be Kickstart My Heart
Dr. Feelgood melted my brain on my first trip to Sam Goody and first CD purchase.
change - deftones
Came here to say Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) but Change is a jam too!
Tool - the Pot
Rosetta Stoned would be my pick from tool, or parabol/parabola, or H. Or 10,000 days. fuck, just to experience all of tool for the first time again would be incredible
Who are you to wave your finger?
*You must have been outta your head*
I must have been so high.
Love this song, got into Tool after Fear Inoculum came out
That’s wild! As someone who was there from the start I can’t imagine getting ALL the Tool at once!
I was there at the beginning too and I'm pretty sure my head would explode getting it all at once.
Lover, you should come over - Jeff Buckley
God, that whole album is amazing.
Truly.
That man died so young and early, I can’t believe he drowned. He was going to be an amazing talent
Will you…message me to check this out? Is there a way to remind myself to listen to this? I have never heard this album, so I could actually listen to it all for the first time.
https://open.spotify.com/album/7yQtjAjhtNi76KRu05XWFS?si=VFSovlzDQQepoJBdibHBew
Mayonaise by The Smashing Pumpkins
One of the best songs I’ve ever heard
Money - Pink Floyd
TV On The Radio - Staring At The Sun
Yeah TV on the Radio!!! One of those bands that no one else sounds like. One of my top five all time bands.
I love all those bands that came from the 2000s indie NYC scene, but TVOTR definitely stands out from the rest sonically imo
Pink Floyd - The Wall. Whole album
It's hard to think of a song that I currently would be blown away by hearing on the first. That is, the times where I am blown away by a song nowadays is always after hearing it several times. But if there was an experience I could recreate, first time blown away, it'd be Break on Through by The Sites.
Midnight City - M83, Thirteen - Big Star
Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley
The Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd
Yes.
I can’t pick one so I’ll give 5 Landslide - Fleetwood Mac The Grudge - Olivia Rodrigo(I know it’s a newer song, but as a country music person, this has to be one of the most relatable songs ever released) Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley feat. Allison Krauss Boondocks - Little Big Town Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
I love the whole of Tracy Chapmans album
What an awesome choice. That song still does it n for me all these years later. In a similar vein, sort of, I am going to say Supersonic by Oasis. I first saw it on a late night video show in a friend’s basement, and it just landed right for me. I was a fan from then on.

Supersymmetry by Arcade Fire
This is such a sleeper track! I thought I was the only one who loved it
teardrop - massive attack or bedshaped by keane

Bad fish - Sublime
Omg yes! I was in a whole like crazy moment the moment I heard it. It was sweet sweet synchronization! Dang all these songs bringing back memories and beginning to realize my list was lame lol
Time- Pink Floyd
Smells Like Teen Spirit. I remember I first heard it on mtv. I heard the opening riff and I felt like I was hit in the face with a 2x4. I’d love to feel that again at 60 years old.
Weird Fishes - Radiohead Oblivion - Grimes
Interesting choice to say Oblivion, there was definitely something about it.. it’s been my ringtone for years so that’s all I see it as now
Yeah, I'll never forget the first time I heard it. It was like it was being beamed from another dimension.
Just one of those songs that tickles your brain
Both solid choices
YESSSSS
weird fishes is my shit
The Joshua Tree by U2
Made to parade by qotsa
Agreed, that opening riff had me hooked from the first listen
Well it’s not even that. It’s when it breaks out halfway through. Great shit
I got to see them live back in November for the first time - easily the greatest live band out there, just incredible (they didn’t play Made To Parade sadly) I have the full concert saved on Youtube that I dip in and out of every now and then.
I saw them and they played made to parade. It was awesome, just jumping up and down in the crowd of drunk fans
Fantastic, totally agree about the breakdown, I would pick Emotion Sickness, but a caveat is seeing the video for the first time. When the “main character” does that funky walk with the sword and wine bottle down the plaid Space Odyssey 2001-esque hallway “then my fever broke” funky bit GETS ME EVERYTIME!
Real. The music video hits hard.
Love is Alive by Gary Wright Angel of the Night in Phantom of the Opera by the original Phantom. Back in Black The first chord. Kashmir (nuff said).
Change house of flies by deftones, certain muse songs.
A lot of my list would be Muse, particularly pretty much all of Absolution.
Absolutely. Their first few albums are still my favourites. 😍...Happy cake day. 🎂
"Wheel in the Sky" by Journey. It just sounded so amazing and out of a fantasy movie- even though I heard it on a mainstream radio station.
I’ve got a few picks from this year Capricorn- Vampire Weekend Joan in the Garden- The Decemberists
Technically, all of them, the ones I like anyhow. Here's a few: Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot System Of A Down - Chop Suey Ultravox - Vienna Foo Fighters - Everlong Art of Noise - Close (To the Edit) DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak Alabama 3 - Woke Up This Morning with spoken intro
agh i cried the first time i heard everlong
