First song you heard of your favourite bands

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Reading the thread about the Dixie Dregs I remembered that I got into them by downloading one single song  form audiogalaxy.com (the website is long gone ... must have been 5 years ago).

Do you remember any "key songs" you downloaded or heard on the radio etc. that got you interested in a band which you now call one of your favourites?

For Me:

Dixie Dregs - Sleeveless in Seattle (ca. 2002, downloaded from Audiogalaxy)
Spock's Beard - Gibberish (ca. 2000, Downloaded as a free track from Amazon.com)
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond Pt. 1-5 (ca. 1984, from one of my dad's tapes)

	^ those were the first Genesis songs you ever heard? Well, I admit that it's the same for me. It was I Can't Dance - I saw the video on MTV. I kind of liked it, but I really liked Jesus He Knows Me.

	Recent but brilliant example: Here on PA I heard a song called "The Odessa Steps Sequence" by French TV. It got me curious immediately, and now French TV is one of my favourite bands. I have already 4 studio albums of theirs, their live CD is on the way, and I am planning to acquire all their discography eventually.
