You know when you hear a song for the first time and sometimes you're just dumbfounded by it's awesomeness? This topic is about that. There are three songs that really took me by surprise the first time I heard them, often because it was the first song I heard from that artist. Here are my three:

Suffer Little Children by The Smiths

Mr Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan

Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel

Does this happen at all to you, OT?

The Ultimate NRG 4/Alex K Remix of Take Me Away by 4 Strings. Bad video, bad audio quality, unfortunately the only good Youtube video was taken down, but the part at 2:00 of this is just... I love it more than anything else.

I haven't heard that version yet. I'll check it out. And yeah, Teen Spirit is probably a good example for me too.

I heard "Always For You" by The Album Leaf for the first time the other day. It was the first time I had heard of the band, and after listening to it I was awestruck by how fantastic it was. It's been about three days and I've been listening to their material nonstop, and I think it's safe to say they're one of my favorite bands.

When I first heard Europe Endless by Kraftwerk. Better yet, that whole album, just the way the songs fit together, it makes my head go boom.

The first time I heard all of Jesus of Suburbia... I litteraly became addicted. I have no idea what had happened, and I couldn't stop listening to them.

But hearing Letterbomb for the first time was incredible. The bridge of that song is amazing, and I almost shed a tear at the end of it.

Only two songs have actually blown my mind, other songs seldom get the same reaction from me:

Billie Holiday - I'll Be Seeing You

Amy Winehouse - Love is a Losing Game
