Stargate SG-1 TV series
Indeed!
I'm between The Black Parade (the album) by My Chemical Romance, an alt rock opera masterpiece imo, and Hamilton, the Broadway cast recording. I feel like the former might not work as well when removed from its time, but I bet it still would blow my mind.
Halo 2.
That game blew my mind when I was younger.
...wait... I'm the covenant?

Half-Life 2
Iβm too young to have played the original as a kid, but I have fond memories of coming home from school to play HL2 on my shitty laptop.
There are videos of people reacting to hearing Megadeth's Holy Wars... the Punishment Due for the first time. I enjoy the song, but I first heard it when I was probably like 10 and don't really remember the first time. Would be fun to hear it with a fresh pair of ears.

Definitely the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy
I think a Tribe Called Quests Excursions. Someone else mentioned that it's a shame losing all memories of a piece of music because we as a species associate music with our most precious memories. Here's the thing: Excursions is timeless and woven throughout my life. I've relistened to it so many times and got more from it as I've matured. I wonder how revolutionary and fresh it would feel to hear it today with my adult understanding of the world

As a kinda forgetful person, I say familiarity usually boosts enjoyment and I might not get many songs I like when listening for the first time.
I want to play either Skyrim or Breath of the Wild for the first time again, knowing nothing about what's out there to be discovered or the limits of the sandbox. Those games cast a special spell in their first few dozen hours before you know where the boundaries of the world are.
i havenβt played skyrim since the last DLC was released, whatever that was. maybe my memory is sufficiently wiped at this point
Change 'listen to' to 'watch' and I'll rewatch Eternal Sunshine for the first time.
I watched that movie knowing absolutely nothing about it going in other than the two leads, and it blew my mind. from that point on i swore off watching trailers and try to know as little as possible about every movie i watch.

Audiobook: Ready Player One narrated by Will Wheaton
That was a really fun book to listen to. He narrates the second one as well, but it didn't capture lightning in a bottle the same way.
Damn, out of 4,000 years of literature.
Damn, why gatekeep?
Because bad pun memes are the beeβs knees.
This post reminds me of a friend of mine who likes a song so much, he will only listen to it twice a year, once on New Year's and once on his birthday. He says each time is like the first time because "the pathways stay fresh". He's been consistent for at least 7 years.
If you're curious: Toccata - OVERWERK
Just listened to it. Yeah I get it
Very understandable that song is awesome
I basically listened to it on loop for a week and ruined the effect

Oh geez that's tricky... My first instinct is to say Towa Tei's Sunny, the entire album. But the thing is, half of what I love about it is the nostalgia about how much I loved it the first time, and where I was when I listened to it. So maybe it'd be better to pick something you might've liked better under other circumstances? In that case... Hmmm... I'd say the audio drama Spines.
Playing the Video game: Lunar: Eternal Blue for the first time again would be awesome.
