When I was like 10 or 11 years old, my family and I went to an NA dance. I remember the DJ was called "Terrible Ted". And the song "Seld-Esteem" by The Offspring came on. And I completely lost it. I was so pumped up. It was the first time I remembering doing anything that felt like dancing, although I was really just head banging and jumping around on the dance floor all alone. I remember I thought the song was by Nirvana. It all sounded the same to me back then. I had heard the song on the radio before, but I didn't know who it was yet. Lol. It was my first favorite song that I felt like I choose for myself. It was a strong feeling of independence. And The Offspring ended up being my first favorite band for quite some time. They were also my first concert, another great memory. Excellent question.
Thanks. That's how music is! I've some very similar memory to yours. There was a song on which whenever I listened I suddenly start makin moves. It was fun and so cool that I want to be back in childhood to do that all again.

We used to listen to a lot of "safe" music in the house as kids. Parents would moderate heavily to make sure we didn't listen to anything too crazy. Not a lot of rock.
The spiciest rock was The Beatles, to paint you a picture.
The Offspring was the first band I got hooked on in the genre and a major part in adding rock to my musical palate. Went into the 70-80s rock rabbithole, and then of course punk rock, and nu metal (linkin park and company).
The song for me was Staring at the Sun. Encountered because of a Final Fantasy AMV probably downloaded off Kazaa or Morpheus.
