First song to "Blow You Away"...

Led Zeppelin doing "Gallows Pole."

Not necessarily my favorite song though.

I was photographing the group in concert (one of tens of dozens I've covered) and was allowed on stage just as this song was beginning. Several stacks of amps and speakers literally did "blow me away," although not in a good way.

Good that I was young and walked off stage for Kleenex for the ears before walking back on, otherwise I might not be posting on a high end audio site today.

Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones and Light My Fire by the Doors.

There were probably songs earlier that "blew me away" but the one that holds the most weight to this day is probably Duane Allman's guitar playing in Boz Scagg's " Loan Me A Dime" on his first solo album entitled "Boz Scaggs"(of course his singing and the Memphis Horns didn't detract anything from the feeling). Another one that comes to mind is Badfinger's "Baby Blue". George Harrison's song "It Don't Come Easy" done by Ringo Starr also comes to mind. Also like "Beware of Darkness". I guess I'm drawn to minor chord songs. "In My Lonely Feeling" on Journey's first album warrants mention. As does Albert King's "I'll Play The Blues For You". Zep's "Since I've been Loving You" works for me. I guess I'm not really adhering to the thread but I just LOVE these songs.

"The Court Of The Crimson King", by King Crimsom. All the musician are unbeliveable, but just listen to that Drummer.... He'll blow any-body away.
