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.

"Who Do You Love?" from the album Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service. I had NO idea that guitar playing could sound SO sweet. To this day, it is STILL my favorite album. John Cipollina was one of the greatest guitar players ever. May he RIP...
Floyd's "Fearless" off the Meddle LP. I can't own up that there weren't drugs involved .......
Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Guitars that took my head to a whole new place. Would play that album for others and they would be mesmerized and after the record played the question would always be "who the heck was that? or What was that?
of course that was 35 years ago and drugs were always involved.
I listen to it every now and then just to bring a smile to my face.
I don't know about the Denver Omlette Brain syndrome, but the earliest albums that I remember really opening my ears to music that I'd never heard before that were Tommy by The Who, and the Beatles Sgt. Pepper. I enjoy both still, but they're certainly not at the top of my list today. Dylan also, but can't recall the album.
