The very first song

[Bozo Erectus]

Lets say hypothetically that file sharing was legal. If your computer exploded tomorrow and you had to begin rebuilding your music collection, which song do you think would be the very first one you'd download?

 

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Too hard.

Give me a day or two to think it over.

 

[nonconformist]

Hmmm. A difficult question.
maybe.....Ever fallen in love (with someone you shouldn'tve fallen in love with?) bu the Buzzcocks.

 

[ummmm........]

I could rip most of the songs I would really want off CDs I still own, so I'm guessing my first download would be some cheesy pop hit I couldn't get out of my head . . .

 

[nonconformist]

Argh! Scratch the last one!
Layla by Clapton for sure.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

You mean like 'Dancing Queen' from Abba?

 

[Bozo Erectus]

In my case, it would always be 'Back in Black' by ACDC.

 

[Sickman]

Well if it would be legal download...
Then for reasons based into personal history and because of the nice drum machine.

Moby - Extreme Ways

And hey Bozo, you didn't answer your own question.
EDIT: well, now you did...

 

[Gabryel Karolin]

Streams of Whiskey with the Pogues, or something similiar, because downloading all that music would take hours and be extremely boring. Better to be drunk while doing it. Maybe that way you could even download music by some obscure group by mistake and thus broaden your musical perspective.

Meh. I thought this was a thread about the very first song in mankind's history.

I know what it is too. I saw it in a movie.

A bunch of cavemen were passing along rocks, bucket-brigade style. Caveman A failed to catch and the rock lands on his foot.

Caveman A screams: "Aaaaaa...!!!"

Everyone stops. Caveman B, standing next to him, approaches with a puzzled look. Suddenly, he thinks of something. Grabbing another rock, he drops it on Caveman C's foot.

Cavemen C screams: "Aaaiiieee...!!!"

Caveman B brightens up. Grabbing yet another rock, he drops it on Caveman D's foot.

Caveman D screams: "Yeeeaaarrgghh...!!!"

Caveman B smiles. He has a new idea. He calls everyone together and tells them his plan.

Several days later, the entire tribe is assembled, everyone has several rocks in his/her hand, and Caveman B is standing in front, facing them. On his signal, they start throwing rocks at each other's feet. Their combined screams sounded out:

"HAAAALLELUYAH!!! HAAAALLELUYAH!!! HALLELUYAH! HALLELUYAH! HALLEEEELUYAAAAH....!!!"

 

[sysyphus]

Echoes by Pink Floyd, followed by something by Rush or Kraftwerk.

All hail Mel Brooks Your post makes me wonder what the first song ever must have sounded like. The aliens from the UFO assure me it bore an uncanny resemblance to 'Johnny B. Goode' by Chuck Berry.

 

[Hitro]

Freedom - George Michael.















Okay not really, but that's what file sharing is. :communism

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Hitro, Im afraid I must disagree, under communism, theres nothing worth stealing

 

[The Last Conformist]

The first album'd have to be OK Computer. What song, matters less, but let's say Paranoid Android.

 

[Hitro]

Hitro, Im afraid I must disagree, under communism, theres nothing worth stealing

The current music would still be there, you moron!











Okay, except for Toby Keith. His records would be burned at the People's parade.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

[Bozo Erectus]

Soviet rock was some of the best rock ever rocked
