Awakening to Background Score

[Plum]

Carrying over from a blog on this topic, thought it would be interesting if we go back and figure out when did we first wake up to the concept called background music.
Speaking of me, growing up in the 80's, a golden period for Raja's BGM, I must confess that I walked through such classics as Johnny, Mouna Raagam, Raaja paarvai without realising the gift I had been offered. My loss. It was with Agni N that my senses awoke to the touch of this animal called BGM.
This thread is for everyone to recall their BGM-Eureka moment.
