I'm pretty sure it was The Man's Too Strong from a Brothers in Arms cassette tape.

Couldn't say the first song really, a bit hard to remember that one, but the first album I heard was Brothers In Arms, so, it would have been a song from there.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Once upon a time in the West. I remember siting on a comfortable chair in my bedroom. I was 16 I think. I still remember the feeling I had listening to the song and the whole 1st album. A magic moment. 25 years later, it's still there in my heart and in my soul...

Sultans. Believed back in 1985. Heard it on the radio.  It was like love at first sound.

I guess it must have been Down to the Waterline from MFN compilation in 1989. I was into heavy metal, and a friend of mine said, while putting this in his turntable"This is my brother's but have a listen". I taped it and it was the end (almost) of heavy metal for me. But later on, while I was discovering the rest of their material, I had the sense that I had listened to 3-4 songs, on the radio without knowing the band. The most distinctive ones were Single handed sailor and Hand in hand.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

As a baby(born 1993) my father used to put The Long Road on the radio if I didn't want to sleep :P
But the first 'real' listening was my first own cd On The Night!
Got it when I was 5 or something

Sultans, one Saturday afternoon in 1978 on BBC Radio 1 (I was 20 and a committed prog rock fan, so the Alan Freeman show was required listening at the time). I remember thinking what a brilliant guitarist, shame about the singer. It was only when I picked up a copy of the album a couple of weeks later that I realised that guitarist and singer were one and the same. Needless to say, Mark's voice has grown on me since then and I think he is sounding better than ever on Privateering.

Mmmmm....., let me see. I guess it was the late 80's (88 or 89) and I was around 12 years old.
Sultans of swing must have been the first ever DS/MK song I heard, it was the first song a DS cassette tape my mom's best friend often played in the car.

LOL!  ;D She never should have made me copy of that tape. I became totally hooked and completely wore out my copy of that tape..................
