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.

I Am The Walrus - Beatles

Very tough time for me when I heard it on Boston radio as a kid and it made me think that there were others in worse shape than I was in at the time so I think that helped.

The opening chords haunt me to this day.

California Dreamin': I just had to find out who that was played that song and find the album it was on. The line "I take a walk on a winter's day" was the hook.
