Redartz: You've heard of "love at first sight". How about "love at first hearing"? There are countless tunes I've come to enjoy, often growing to like them after several initial listenings. Some songs took much longer to 'grow on me'. First time I ever heard Devo- I thought "you gotta be kidding, what the heck are these guys pulling?". But songs that grabbed me right from the start? Not very many.
Among them, aside from the two illustrated here:
Thomas Dolby, "She Blinded Me With Science": first time I heard that song, I had to have it. It was perfect in every way. And I still love it (another related question- if you like a song from the start, does it become tiring to you faster?).
Adele, "Skyfall": Adele is incredible, and who doesn't like a good Bond theme? So it had a lot going for it already, but it won me over right off the bat.
The Sweet, "Ballroom Blitz": The driving beat and raucous lyrics fired my cylinders from the start. It helped make the bus ride to school fun (almost).
So what songs captured your ears from the get-go? Did they still appeal to you years later, or did they burn brightly for awhile then fizzle? Let us all hear...
