What's "the" song that changed it all for you?

[Machinesworking]

So to keep it nice and concise: what's the one song that you heard for the first time. I know it's tough, maybe imposiible. But to chose one

One is tough to choose, but that makes it interesting.

Arrgh! I can't read! off to edit my post..........

All in good fun, I was gonna post how I had the Cure's 'Faith' and 'Pornography' on two sides of a casette tape in high school, great morning music on the bus ride to school. All Cats Are Grey is a tasty track.

did you see my post?

that used to be my "if i was going ot kill myself I'd do it to this song" track

the outro on that track was so morbid, but so amazingly soothing at the same time...like musical heroin.....I used to come in from school, stick it on and fall on the bed

then me and my best mate in grade ten set our dance project for phys ed to "the drowning man" and did loads of coffin bearing type stuff

"Safety Dance" by Men without hats!!!!!!

i was a young kid, but i remember i loved it.

At that time it was, "I don't care how I die as long as I'm listening to music and I'm hit by a cool car." I had headphones on from class to class and had a headphone up my sleeve during class. The Smiths, Joy Division, The Cure, English Beat, Bauhaus, D'Mode, same scene, diffrenet continents

I take it the cheerleaders didn't steal any of your moves?

SHIT!! That's more than 1 song isn't it??

mouse on mars- catching butterflies with hands

[myztmuzic]

the orb, heavy use of prychedelics - and Pink Floyds early trippy days

[elektrovert]

The Chemical Brothers - Fuck Up Beats

or to be more accurate the way "Three Little Birdies Down Beats" goes in to "Fuck up beats".
the two of them should be one song!

[hoffman2k]

Sander kleinenberg - State of grace (swayzak remix)

That hawkshaw chick sounds like an angel (i guess )

[Mika]

"Echoes" Pink Floyd

[forge]

funny though, listening back I think dig your own hole probably did alot more influencing than exit...it was just the first

listening back now - god yeh what an album!

hey can this be album that did it for you as well as track?

[Patch]

Naming ONE song that changed it for you is tough - building your own sound/style is a LONG journey, and the songs that influence you along the way mould that style.

If one song by one artist is enough to inspire you, you run the danger of comparing everything you produce with that artist/track.

Thing is - I always wanted to produce/remix/DJ for as long as I could remember. Before I'd ever heard Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa, Rockit by Herbie Hancock or No Woman No Cry by Bob Marley...

Whoops... That's three...

yeah, I agree - how far can you go back? I mean really the ones that stuck in my head first in my life were smoke on the water, and Pop music by "M" and the whole beatles white album (probably obla di obla da - I was 3 years old after all....)
