Bass Guitar. The first song I learned to play was "Money" by Pink Floyd, and the most recent song was "Please Do Not Go" by the Violent Femmes. Both of which are awesome songs.

not counting my piano lessons when I was five, my first instrument was trombone and I can't remember the first OR the last song I played on that damn thing. after that came the drums, I started by playing along to the country songs on Beck's "Stereopathetic Soul Manure" and I'd play anything that had a beat to it.

For guitar, the first two songs I learned (can't remember which was first):
'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd
'Everlong' by Foo Fighters

A weekago I started learning the following five songs:
'Journey to the Center of the Mind' by the Amboy Dukes
'I Don't Wanna Grow Up' by Tom Waits
'R.A.M.O.N.E.S.' by Motorhead
and my two new favorites to play:
'Have You Ever Seen the Rain' by CCR
'My Back Pages' by The Byrds, originally Bob Dylan

The catch: I'm playing in a Ramones festival and these are all songs covered by The Ramones!

That's an EXCELLENT first song for bass!
It is. The pattern isn't as repetitive as a lot of other songs, and it's good finger exercise too.

I say this for songs I actually went to the trouble of learning the 'proper' patterns/fills for as opposed to learning the beat and kind of winging it:

Drums:

First: March of the Pigs by Nine Inch Nails (Fun pattern for a novice...)
Latest: Roxanne by The Police (isn't actually that hard)

1st music: Some technique book alternating whole notes and whole rests on F.
Latest Music: Fidelio Overture by Beethoven (Yep I'm in orchestra)

my first song on the guitar was either Smoke on the water by deep purple or black sabbath's iron man, but i don't remember which.
Most recent was Leather Rebel by Judas Priest as i was dicking around and figured it out by accident yesterday.
