The first song you hear from an artist--if you like the song--is the one 
you compare all the subsequent work to?  We tend to think the first is 
the best?  It's not hip to name a song heard on the radio 15 minutes ago, 
so people think back to earlier stuff, maybe the hit that launched it all?

Incidentally, I heard The Whole Story vocal of "Wuthering Heights" before 
I heard the original vocal; I like The Whole Story vocal better.
