When i was young, I used to leave my radio on all night. Blondie's "Rapture" never failed to wake me from a dead sleep and scare the crap out of me.

Far as blowing me away:
Metallica/Master of Puppets
Jane's Addiction/Nothing's Shocking - especially the first time "Ocean Size" started up. I nearly pooed.

Side One of Funhouse was an epiphony when I first played it. One of our customers (chain store/high school days) special ordered it. Our manager crapped a brick when it showed up on the truck, and I re-ordered it at his urging.

Yeah, Nothing's Shocking was another, that clattering beginning of "Ocean Size" and "Ted, Just Admit It" made me sit up the first time I heard it.

I remember a girlfriend in '82 or '83 playing me a 3-disc Half Japanese import. I couldn't believe my ears, and couldn't believe someone had the audacity to market it as music. It sounded like a homeless nutjob ranting while someone else clattered silverware in an aluminum sink.

Of course, with the benefit of maturity and hindsight, now I can hear it for what it is, which is a homeless nutjob ranting while someone else clatters silverware in an aluminum sink.

I don't know how old I was but hearing Black Sabbath blew my mind. I didn't know what the fuck it was.

I was on a five day run and it seemed like every few minutes "Nothin compares to you.." S. O'Connor came on. It felt like the song was following me. I'd go from a convenience store (buying cigarettes) where it was playing to a car with it on the radio, to a motel room with a prostitute humming it and then turning on the TV and there was her bald head singing it. I thought perhaps that the police or God or God in conjunction with the police had arranged for it to play everywhere I was even once playing out of the toaster in a convenience flat I rented for three hours that longest week.

But then perhaps I've shared too much.

Poor Sinead... what the hell happened? She's one of the few artists that I can definitely say I used to love, and now abhor.

I love it...JEBUS!!

I will also add that the first time I really HEARD Dylan, it blew me away for a few years to come.
