The hottest 100 was the first time I heard The Wire by Haim. There's something about it that caught my attention early and has stuck. After googling the band, I now want to have a four-some with the Haim sisters

Similar situation for me with the next song in the countdown: Strong by London Grammar, and yes, massive Hannah Reid crush right here. Always loved a woman who can sing - I'd be hopeless against the Siren Song.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Fade Into You - Mazzy Star

 

[Norwegian Blue]

Whole Of The Moon - Waterboys

I remember when this song came out. I used to sleep with the radio on dozing on and off to the music. I half woke up around 3am at the start of this song, started listening and sat bolt upright in bed thinking "wow this is good!"

The filthiest of all guitar intros. All hail Ron Wood.

8. Gotye - Somebody I used to know

So how's that working out now?

Here's one for me:

 

[Swansujelly]

Out of Space by The Prodigy. Impressionable 17(in 1992) y.o. never heard anything like it, instantly hooked.

 

[RobbieGray17]

Neil Young - Heart Of Gold

For some oldies.

And I forgot to mention

So how's that working out now?

Here's one for me:

Lol, I haven't listened to that for ages. I have gotten a bit bored of it though. Unlike some of the others.

 

[This Is Anfield]

Impossible to name them all - great thread by the way

First song I remember loving was as a young 'un back in Liverpool - I want to hold your hand - the Beatles.
Then it was something like;

Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin (and love every other Zep song)
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (what the ......is this!)
House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals (& Frijid Pink)
Moon River - Andy Williams (as long as a song sounds good to me)
Badlands - Bruce Springsteen (introduced me to the Boss)
Heroes - David Bowie - (we CAN be heroes)
Jesus Of Suburbia - (thought WOW this band is good!)
You're A Big Girl Now - Lisa Miller (Australia's best voice)
Knights Of Cydonia - Muse (some of the best recent music)
Let The Day Begin - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (my favourite recent band)

That's a small sample over the years - so many great songs

Sail On Sailor - Beach Boys
Golden Years - David Bowie
Bye Bye Love - Ray Charles
Joe's Garage - Frank Zappa

I give up. Couldn't the OP have asked "What songs did you dislike with extreme prejudice from the get go?" Would have been a lot easier.

Just heard Train's "Drops of Jupiter" on the radio again just then. Gets plenty of praises, but again- What a ripper of a song.
