First song to "Blow You Away"...

What was the first song that hit you between the eyes and took over your mind? Something that really put you into an altered state (without the drugs).

The first time I heard "Whole Lotta Love" in 1969 I couldn't believe what my ears were hearing. Jimmy Page's guitar grabbed me by the head and turned my brain into a Denver omlette.

This question made me think hard (ouch). I guess I have to say almost any song from The White Album. Makes me wonder how many times I listened to it start to finish.

Hey Tvad,
I was a teenager listening to the radio late at night circa 1976 and was "blown away" by what was announced to me afterward as the new Genesis album, the cut being "Dance on a Volcano" Similar experience a year or so later hearing "11th Earl of Mar" from Wind and Wuthering.
Besides that, the 1st time I heard Gentle Giant, and the 1st time I heard King Crimson's "Starless and Bible Black" what a mindblower for a young mind.
