Well @Noam Asulin, 

certainly a touching story that you shared with us. Thank you for sharing this.

I don't have a song that made an impact on my life. More a kind of music.

In the 80s I was still looking for what I really like. And like everyone who grew up in the 80s, I listened to the famous artists or bands such as Pet Shop Boys, Bon Jovi, Duran Duran and more.

But as a kid I was (and still am) a Transformers fan. And Stan Bush's song really touched me as a child. Wonderful rock music.

So later in the 90s I was looking for what I would really like...I listened to everything: Pearl Jam, Metallica and everything that was modern at the time.

But the turning point was when I heard the album Poetic Justice by the band Lillian Axe. The rock music I knew as a child and this is it! And this brought me back and now 30 years later this is still the type of music I listen to the most. Genuine American Adult Oriented Rock and Melodic Rock. Guys with long hair, hairspray, tight pants...

So it's actually 2 songs that will always stay with me.

Interesting thread @Noam Asulin ! 

I can't say that any song had an impact on me, but I have one which is connected
with a very interesting musical event or experience.

I like to listen to music, and when I listen to it, it has to be very loud (unfortunately for my housemates and neighbors).
One day, when I was a teenager, no one was at home.
My dad had a big speaker that was almost big as me and it was very powerful.
I opened the window and put that big speaker (I don't know how) on it.
I turned on the amplifier, put the cassette in the tape recorder, turned up the sound to the maximum.
Then I played the song Another One Bites The Dust by Queen.

A song echoed throughout the neighborhood .The window was shaking .
I felt like I was at a concert.
It was an unforgettable musical experience for me.
Fortunately for me, the neighbors didn't call the police. 

LOVVEEE QUEEN !

Hope your ears are ok hehe 

yep , they are still ok  he he

Thank you, @Noam Asulin, for this amazing article!

"Fame" 🩰 was a song that made me dream big when I was a kid.

During my childhood, I was just an ordinary girl who dreamed of being a ballerina.
So whenever my parents went out, I did exactly what Nina described in her post.
I would turn on my sound system, put on some records and turn the volume up as loud as I could.
My sister and I would dance until my parents came home.
The happiness and excitement we felt was as if we were performing on a real stage.
I'm grateful that I never had an audience to watch our performances.
                             

There’s a song that really turned me into music as a fan. The first time I listened to Guns N’ Roses’ - Paradise City, I just loved it. I remember being next to the radio waiting for any radio station to play the song. Then my parents got me Appetite for Destruction cassette (yes a cassette ) and it became my favourite band. I learned the lyrics or at least the choruses of Sweet Child o’ mine and Welcome to the jungle too, and could not stop singing along (I still do it). It was my first concert too, I will never forget it for 2 reasons. It was just amazing and second, I went with my mum .
Enjoy the whole album :
 

Thank you for sharing :)

This is really a great album. And yes, I also bought it as a cassette.

I have another one . It’s not a song but an album . This album made me go into Metal , including extreme Metal genres .Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park . 

I remember the first time I was listening to that album . I went into a friend’s house when I was 16 and his brother just bought this CD of a new band . I was listening to it and got hooked by the sound . It took me awhile to evolve to a more heavier stuff . Next was evanescence , Emery , etc. . These days I listen also to black Metal and some other extreme stuff among “Regular” music but I will always remember Hybrid Theory as the album which shaped my current state . I’m not listening to this album as much as I used to but this album is still amazing and relevant today. I actually have the anniversary edition was I got as a gift from my friends . Here are some images .
