My first was while listening to Good By Yellow Brick Road.  All the songs listed the instruments and Grey Seal had the word "Mellotron".  I listened over and over trying to figure it out, but couldn't.  I assumed Mellotron was a kind of violin like a Strat is a guitar.

I know I know, pretty dumb.

My first was probably Traffic's "Hole in my Shoe". Mind you I had no idea what was responsible for that sound when I first heard it as a very young slip of a thing.
