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.

Miles Davis on his "Jack Johnson" album. I'd never heard anything like that before or since.

Rainy Day Women - Bob Dylan, what a trip riding in the car with the folks when that came on the radio.

this thread's been around for a while now so I'm giving myself permission to add some more songs that weren't the first, but blew me away none the less.

Mike Oldfield - "Ommadawn" It's an album-long song.

Jan Hammer - "Darkness, Earth in Search of the Sun" from The First Seven Days.
