In chronological order:
GW-BASIC - As a twelve-year-old, I could just sit down and write programs that worked.
QBASIC - I could pretty much take out the line numbers of the programs I'd written and compile them. Heady stuff.
Pascal - Easy enough to learn by myself with the help of a reference.
Turbo C - you could make pull-down windows!
VBScript - After a decade away from programming, I quickly discovered I already knew most of what I need to build dynamic websites.
VB6 - building applications with a full-fledged IDE is nice.
JavaScript - A compact, mostly-good language made much better through libraries like jQuery.
SQL - conceptually hard at first, but the natural-language syntax really helps.
Python - finally, a language that lets me think in executable code.
C# - it's well-documented.
PHP - it doesn't actually drown kittens.
