I think it was a really dumbed-down version of Stairway, which I learned from a tape I made of a band covering it in a gymnasium... not even the real thing. Gotta start somewhere.

The first song I remember learning (at least the first one I cared about) was "Spirit Of the Radio" by Rush.

Now, I hate that band.

Soon after, a friend showed me "Up On the Sun" by Meat Puppets. I still love them. 8)

I think it was 'Wish You Were Here' but it may have been 'Sweet Home Alabama'.
