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.

Very young (maybe seven) but the power of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody To Love" was overtaking. My parents were normal blue collar workers but they had bought the house next door so my brothers and I could have a yard. Hippies rented that house and sat on the flat roof in the back playing recorders and guitars. Every now and then they'd have the stereo on the roof. One time, while playing baseball, "Somebody To Love" came on and all of us started playing air guitar. I still can't sit still once it hits that first chord.
