Songs that blew you away the first time you heard them

"Spirit" is a stupid song and Nirvana was a *** band.

Cisqo - The thong song.

forrealz.

I think I forgot to mention Art Blakey & the Messengers, "Moanin'." Still the quintessential hard bop song.

i am not a nirvana fan but love that song.

yeah, definitely.

Also, RUN-DMC's "Rock Box", when I first heard that song I lost my ****. I was a young rap fan and was already in love with "Sucker MC's" but Rock Box was just next level ****.

I was at some backroom club in the LES a few weeks ago that was filled with 20-year-old hipster doofuses. The guy on stage broke out into PR and everyone in the audience knew the words and sang along. Still resonates. lefty P'S. I wonder what would have happened had he played Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

Rolling Thunder Revue version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door (recorded, not in person), the 1996 version of Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto (along the same lines, most YMO songs), and the first time I heard My Father My King played live.

Kurt Cobain was apparently a big fan of Sparks's Kimono My House album.
