What song(s) blew you away?

[BahamaDada]

There are songs that will make this:

Songs, that you hear for the first time and will remember for a lifetime. What are they for you?

I can pin down 2 of such moments:

First time I heard that middle clean part/harmonized solo in Master of Puppets. I was 16 and could not believe what I was hearing. That part actually made me buy a guitar (or beg my mom to).

Second time was somewhere down the line hearing All Along The Watchtower (Jimi's version) for the first time. I was like "What is that guy doing? In the 60s? Was that even allowed? What is this strange waddlewaddle (the wah wah) sound? Holy sh...". And so on.

At the innocent age of 8, "Master of Puppets" turned young TTZ! into a lifelong metalhead.

Opening with a massive boomer bend? YES!!!!

Will never forget hearing it the 1st time, or all the times since!
