I think the first song I really took notice to was Elvis Presley's version of Hound Dog. I also liked Duane Eddie's sound... But, when I heard The Beatles' I Want To Hold Your Hand and all the girls screaming for them... that's when I wanted to learn to play the guitar. And learning to play was what changed my life.

I can't say that anything has changed my life but there are a few songs that I hold dear to my heart.

Red House - Jimi Hendrix

Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)

Whole Lotta Love - Led Zep

Enter Sandman - Metallica

See That My Grave is Kept Clean - BB King

Stand By Me - Ben E. King

That's all I can think of for now although I Need Love by LL Cool J was a favorite for the ladies in high school which always led to good things for me :lol:

Hello!

Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) by Jimi Hendrix and.....

.......You Give a Little Love by Paul Williams. Changes my face into huge smile everytime i listen to it. Possibly the best song in the world.....ever! Here's a clipe from Bugsy Malone (1976). I've added the lyrics so you can all sing along! :D

Guaranteed feel good factor people!

Enjoy!

We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
And it's not too late to change
I'd be delighted to give it some thought
May-be you'll agree that we really ought
Two, three, four

We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
Yes, that decision was ours
It's been decided we're weaker divided
Let friendship double up our powers

We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
And I'm not saying that we should
But if we try it, we'd learn to abide it
We could be the best at bein' good guys

Flowers of the earth
Who can even guess how much
A real friend is worth?
Good guys, shake an open hand

May-be trusting
If we try to understand
No doubt about it
It must be worthwhile
Good friends do tend to make you smile

We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
Yes, that decision is ours
It's been decided we're weaker divided
Let friendship double our powers

You give a little love
And it all comes back to you
(Da da da ra da da da)
You know you gonna be remembered
For the things you say and do
(Da da da ra da da da)

You give a little love
Andit all comes back to you
(Da da da ra da da da)
You know you gonna be remembered
For the things you say and do
(Da da da ra da da da)
(Repeat and fade)

Andy (could have been anything that he wanted to be.....Da da da ra da da da...)!

"We Will Rock You" by Queen.
That's the song that got me hooked on Queen. I'll forever be grateful to that song. :P

Soul Finger - Bar-Kays

I'd just gotten my first guitar and my uncle tossed in a couple of Beatles and surf band song books. I didn't have much else to play because my dad wouldn't tolerate rock in his house. All we had were Big Band records. So I played the notes in the books, but with no reference, they came out sounding like Tommy Dorsey Plays I Want to Hold Your Hand.

Then one day there was a 45 in a box of cereal with Soul Finger on one side and Booker T's version of Harlem Shuffle on the other. Cool ... I finally found something that wasn't my dad's music, wasn't classical but that worked with the playing style I'd evolved.
