hmmm-think you misunderstood the original post.
Music that you could erase from memory only to have the chance to listen to all over again because you loved it so much.

Recently, ive been recommending Pink Floyd albums to friends of mine who just never got into them. Every time I do, I think of how great it would be to hear "Wish You Were Here" and "DSOTM" for the first time...again.
So for me, def. Pink Floyd.
It would definately be floyd for me too... I've been TRYING so hard to get back into them, but after 6+ years of listening to them on and off, I just can't do it. *sigh*

there is more going on than just the first time you hear a song. i grew up listening to "who's next" and "magical mystery tour" over and over, every day. i never got sick of them and today, when i hear those albums they fill me with warm memories of childhood. i remember listening to "dark side of the moon" for the first time on a good stereo, in a dark dorm room full of friends, stoned to the gord and saying "aaaaahhhhh!" then the clocks chimed at full volume. that experience is part of a time and place that i could never get back, and i would not trade it anything, even though "dsmotm" is a bit played out at this point.
the other danger is, so you erase the entire beatles catalog from your memory. time comes to listen to "sgt. pepper" for the "first" time again, and you ask yourself "i've never listened to the beatles before, why should i start now?"
there are songs that are somewhat ruined for me which have been played to death, but that is a natural part of how musical taste is developed.

In all seriousness, I think "Definitely" might be the most commonly misspelled word in the English language. Its a rarity that I see it spelled right.
Oh yeah, and to add to my Led Zeppelin post, I would sure love to hear the early Metallica stuff again for the first time. Being an angst-filled middle schooler, "Master of Puppets" did something special for me. I wonder (but doubt) if it would have the same impact today.

I'm in with the Metallica too (although I prefer pre Master of Puppets; like the Black album, and Ride The Lightning).
For me, though; I'd have to say it would be AC/DC.
Using the technology we have available today; to master or remaster audio recordings; coupled-with the high end headphone, and home audio gear now available; I know I'd enjoy even more the #1 blues-based metal-band, of my youth. Now, I gotta go...gotta download The Jack, Whole Lotta Rosie, and Downpayment Blues

Metallica was the most influential band for me growing up and were responsible for me getting into most of the metal/hard rock/industrial that I have listened to since.
When I heard that first guitar solo in "One" for the first time...I knew it was over with for me.
And then Hetfield..."darkness has taken my sight, taken my speech, taken my hearing..."-man that song allowed for alot of pretend singing in front of a mirror for me.
Radiohead, without a doubt. I've over-listened to nearly all their albums to the point that they can actually bore me, despite loving them to bits. Oh if only...
I'd have to write copious notes to myself along the lines of "DO NOT LISTEN TO OK COMPUTER MORE THAN THREE TIMES PER DAY" etc though, lest it all happen again

I just ordered Are You Shpongled? and have never heard anything by them before. Can't wait to get it into my cd player..
As for me, I would have to say Abbey Road. I still love listening to it, but to re-discover it for the 1st time would be great.
I think Iron Maiden would be my #1 choice, I adored them the first time i heard their entire discography, then I myself overplayed them and they lost their touch to me..
