Your most unusual/lasting first-time song impressions

Too bad we didn’t have smart phones back then

 

Another one,
when I was first getting into rock I was at a bar mitzvah party where the DJ threw 45s out as prizes. The one I got was Joe Jackson, “Target” and “Breaking Us in Two”. That led to me getting the Night and Day album, and I’m still listening to it over 30 years later. Still remember that day in 1983 every time I hear that song.

I also got another 45 at the same time from some guy named Springsteen, who I thought had some kind of cold because his voice was so rough.
I think the song was called Fade Away, still have it somewhere.
