The first piece of music that got to you?

[Steve983]

First song that really hit me? Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding by Elton John was an early favourite when I was about 12 or 13. That was before I discovered Yes, Genesis, Rush & Pink Floyd of course!

Mine was Eagles - The Last Resort. Was about 15 years old and first realized music could challenge you intellectually.

Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones. It was the first song that grabbed me emotionally. I can remember where I was when I first heard it - in the kitchen, aged about 11.
Two years later, A whiter shade of pale by Procol Harum was a milestone for me.

I don't know whether it's true but an ex work colleague told me a tale about an interview with the lead singer of Procol Harum and he was asked what A Whiter Shade of Pale was about. Supposedly he replied "I don't know we were stoned half the time"
