What piece of music is it that you wish you had not heard so that you could listen to it now for the very first time?
I'd like to hear a "Day in the Life" for the first time now.

I think that it's hard to fully take in a piece of music in one listen (not just notes, but tones, textures, arrangements, wet effects & how they affect the spacial perception, glitches & oddities, sometimes you might listen to a piece of music that you think you know & realise the piano is out of tune)...I find that the most captivating pieces of music that I listen to, are the ones that I have listened to hundreds of times and still hear something new, something that I hadn't appreciated before.

Iris Dement: Our Town. This song (and the singer) changed how I felt about country music.

Muddy Waters: Crosseyed Cat. I remember the first time I heard it I was in the car talking to someone and it was on in the background. Halfway through I turned it up to listen. Its one of my all-time favorite songs now.

Tooka, I started to read that sentence and the first song that jumped into my head, before I even got to what you said was 'Day in the Life'. Lindsey Lohan rocks!!! I hear the Beatles had a song with the same title.

The first time I heard Stevie Ray Vaughn "Pride and Joy" on my car radio while I was on my way to work.
I had to turn around and go back home to call the radio station and ask "who WAS that?!?"
I would like to have that same experience only with new music and of course now I could use my cell phone...

Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art. - Charlie Parker

"Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet--it changed my life--a kid of around 16 or 17 raised on shit-kicker music (Red Foley, Lawrence Welk, and The Hit Parade were required listening in my house) and whatever crappy rock music I could listen to on the radio (the era of stuff like Frankie Avalon and songs like "Teen Angel"). And suddenly I heard music that was actually REALLY COOL!!
I was a total jazz head for years after that--it took the Beatles and a lot of illicit drugs to get me off the jazz and into blues and rock. . .

William Clark, Blowin' Like Hell. Everytime I hear it, I have to stop what I'm doing to listen. Always makes me feel good.

I wouldn't wish that about any song I like. Why would I want to deprive myself of having enjoyed it in the past?
I can think of several songs that I would like to hear for the first time now so I wouldn't have had to suffer through them in the past.
Two for example:
Bohemian Rhapsody--I just don't like it and I'm tired of hearing it.
Sympathy for the Devil--"Hoo, hoo" from beginning to end drives me NUTS!!
