What song/album gave you your first eargasm.

[johnnylexus]

She Loves You, the Beatles ... 1964 (I was 10 or 11)

four or five years later it was Axis, Bold as Love and Voodoo Chile

HOLY CRAP!! Ear ORGY here!!

Listening ot Queen's "Innuendo" as I type this... Freddie is alive and rockin!! Just the right amount of reverb and ambience. Brian May's thick Vox / Red Special overdrive is saturating and intoxicating. They just finished the flamenco spanish riffs and Brian is layering the THICK overdrive Vox thunder. Spine-chilling performance.

I don't recall this track being this outstanding.... I think its my new DAC pulling out more details and stuff.

Queen / Grado Fans REJOYCE you owe it to yourself to demo this track.

The earliest over the top eargasm for me occurred while listening to the Phish album Lawnboy on the track Reba.

Stairway to Heaven (remastered)
An obscure Allen Vizzutti song (trumpet/jazz/funk/classic mix) Skyrocket on vinyl

It was the electronic drums of Utada's EXODUS for me. Pretty recently actually, i am a noob

Yello - Stella, on my old old stereo.
This album still sounds great!

Too many songs to pinpoint the first, but as far as ALBUMS go, definatley Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power. Someone got a hold of the cassette when I was in middle school and passed it around. I just sat there with my little sony walkman and freaked out. I had never heard aggressive metal played with such a loose yet tight groove. And then came the solos...

2112 by Rush. Followed very closely by The Moody blues, this is the moody blues? Anyway, to this day I have a hard time not listening to the entire 2112overture.

 

[Solrighal]

It was Yello for me too. The opening track to 'Baby' just blew me away. Still works for me too, lol.

It was 'Queen Live Killers' cassette my sister's boyfriend left in our living room one day when I was 13. I was pretty fed up with Bay City Rollers then and figured out the songs must be good since the guy's a musician with pretty long hair. Spent a week listening to it over and over and finally it dawned on me what good music mean.

Dark Side Of The Moon. A year ago, I had gotten my iPod, and was listening to standard commercial radio crap. A classmate told me to get Pink Floyd, it was good. So I did...picked up DSOTM from a Best Buy and listened to it w/ good ol' iBuds. Blew my mind. A year later, I'm still going through classic rock, etc., and I've also picked up a good bit of jazz and some classical along the way.

BTW, I just took the time to sit down and listen to DSOTM with my Beyer. Excuse me, I have to go clean up.

If by "eargasm" you mean simply a moving listening experience, I don't remember. Coming of age on the late 70s with 4 older siblings (then in college) meant I was constantly bombarded with great classic rock, new wave/punk, and power pop.

If you mean a moving listening experience directly related to equipment - freshman year of college - "Join the Band - Fat Man in the Bathtub" off Waiting for Columbus by Little Feat, played from vinyl over some ancient Bozak speakers. Talk about simulating a concert environment - I was freakin' there man.

If you mean headphone listening, my first real pair of cans was the SR60s I got about 2 1/2 years ago. The first eargasm was listening to "Cumbia & Jazz Fusion" by Charles Mingus with the new cans, and noticing all the detail.

I should be getting new cans next week ('05 DT990s) and I look forward to multiple eargasms.

100 Years - Five For Fighting

kind of embarrassing for me, as I like to focus on less than mainstream music, but the song just awoke something inside and made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

 

[Iceroid]

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (P.U.L.S.E Live DVD)

On my old HD515s straight out of my old x-fi.
