Let's regress, Sup Forums. Don't worry about how simple, silly, cringy or bad it is, or how far you are removed from it now, post the song that was the main foundational root from which your musical taste branched out.
Here's mine. I'm not proud of it, but I'm not all that ashamed of it either. youtu.be/AXnbjAKO4jU
Just remember it always playing at my Uncles house when he would have Summer family gatherings when i was 4 or 5, real comfy times. I spent a fucking eternity looking for it on early google and Limewire because i couldn't remember the name so i had to search everywhere with "ah ha ha haa haa song"
Jayden Hughes
I don't really remember one song. Fleetwood Mac - Tango in the Night, The Police - Synchronicity, Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms and Talking Heads - Little Creatures are some cassettes I remember having and listening to a lot. at 12 U2 was my favourite, at 16 The Doors, then Smashing Pumpkins, Led Zep, Rush, Floyd, then discovering In the Court of the Crimson King is what really kicked things off.

Jason Flores
>Fireflies-Owl City Not that I enjoy that sort of genre, but its the song that inspired me to go further into music and search through different genres.
Liam Moore
Still good
Jace Stewart

really glad you liked it, I listened to this album a LOT when I was like 13-14 years old and I still love it 10 years later. I highly recommend checking out the whole album, and if you don't, at least this one youtube.com/watch?v=PMbV580NV2c
CCR's "Susie Q." They were one of my dad's favorite bands and listening to his music when I was a kid got me into music.

Rust In Peace sold me on metal music and listening to full albums instead of just random songs in a row. Not that the songs have any sense of continuity or anything, but it was the first album I ever heard that was all killer, no filler (except for maybe Dawn Patrol, but that's more of an interlude if you ask me.) As for the ONE (1) song, Hangar 18.
Hudson Powell
Grey Street - DMB
My mom would play a lot of alternative in the car. I mainly liked the sax and drums
My friends and I would listen and watch the music video ironically
I used to sleep to that album, I still sleep to parachutes every now and then
Ryan Price
queen, lots of queen, maybe a bit of bowie but mostly queen and dadrock singles
Owen Butler
The Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star I grew up on the mostly shitty punk and rock my dad liked, I had some dumb idea that I hated synths/keyboards until I heard that song. Then I think I got into Devo through an itunes recommendation and everything went downhill from there
Joshua Perez
>Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back My dad was a real winner He didn't play it He just sang it to me I was like 5
Lucas Martin
yes close to the edge then i dropped out of jr high
Gorillaz- feel good inc and Flobots- Handlebars I got those respective albums and thats all I listened to besides the radio, then i started getting into shitty radio rock, but then i started listening to smashing pumpkins and exploring from there, (siamese dream changed how i saw music as stupid as that may sound) needless to say my taste got much better
