The concept is pretty simple. Can you recall any songs you straight up fell in love with the very first time you heard them? Post them here!

Is there a song you just heard for the first time and love it? Post it here! Also, consider providing a little explanation for why you love the song, or what made you fall in love with it.

One song per post only, please

Have a listen to the songs others have posted, and if you'd like, rate the previous song/most recent one posted (1-10) (thanks to Joeyy for the suggestion

).

Discussion is encouraged, so feel free to say why you like or also love a song someone else has posted, or why you might not like it.

Have fun!

You're meant to rate the song posted by the person before you, Jeff, not your own.

No far.

I'll give it a 5/10.

As you know, it's not exactly my kind of music, but it is quite movie-esque in a dramatic...and slightly creepy kind of way. It reminds me of your Shadow Soldier. So I'm going to rate it on a techno/dubstep (or whatever it's called) scale, rather than my usual, as it would score low otherwise. For what it is, I'll give it give 6.5/10.

My submission is this - Shakin' by Willy Moon.

First time I heard it - and every time since - I wanted to do a dance that I don't even know the moves to. Just...shake around.

It's a hot song. He has a great voice; quite "unique" to this day and age. Fits fun lyrics into a short space of time. Good accompanying music.

* offtopic :
If you listen and like it, also try Railroad Track, which I love just as much - possibly more, possibly less... I'm undecided; they're both great.

6/10 - His vocals remind me of The Gaslight Anthem.

Best Day Of My Life - American Authors

Juliet86 | 07-03-2014 10:13

7/10. Nice sound, quite catchy, maybe a little too repetitive.

Leave Out All the Rest - Linkin Park

I'm not a Linkin Park fan, but when I first heard this, I loved it right from the first lines. (And this was before it was in a Twilight movie.

)

cutie_13 | 07-03-2014 10:38

I love that song. 9/10
Naked - Goo Goo Dolls

kalsonberry | 07-03-2014 20:14

8/10 - Goo Goo Dolls are great!

Mountain Sound - Of Monsters and Men

Captain_Keeta | 07-03-2014 21:05

4/10 I'm not a big Of Monster and Men fan.

Logic - Numbers

kalsonberry | 08-03-2014 23:13

I like the Paramore guitar riff part, but too much swearing for me. 4.5/10

Galaxies - Owl City

Captain_Keeta | 08-03-2014 23:46

Great song! 8/10

Linkin Park - Blackout

Krunegard | 10-03-2014 18:10

I like the screamo, but it's a bit too familiar to house music. 6.5/10

Peacock Skeleton With Crooked Feathers - The Blood Brothers

Captain_Keeta | 11-03-2014 02:29

It was okay. 5/10

Mötley Crüe - Rattlesnake Shake

Captain_Keeta | 14-03-2014 00:35

Decent song. 6,5/10

Hoodie Allen - Dreams Up

zjenn4 | 19-03-2014 01:38

7/10 - it's fun and catchy, but not something I listen to. And not a 'love at first listen song' to me.

Only You by Ellie Goulding.

* offtopic :
I would have posted a link to a video for you myself, but I can't find a good version or one that will play using a mobile device. Sorry.

Maybe this link works?

/edit

Captain_Keeta | 19-03-2014 17:47

6/10 - It's alright but I'm not a big fan of Ellie Goulding.

Cult of Personality - Living Colour

Krunegard | 20-03-2014 14:49

A classic, though I never really listen to it. 7/10
