depends when you mark me as a teenager

13 = prince & the revolution, michael jackson, hall & oates, huey luey & the nuey, [someone else... maybe cyndi lauper]

19 = genesis, prince, janet, jacko, phil collins

i didn't listen to much "alternative" til college circa nirvana (20yrsofage) and didn't delve into indie until around 2000.

this explains why i suck.

early early: sublime, blink182, the ataris (in the beginning, the first two albums aren't bad), less than jake, random local ska. the beatles white album was always involved and i liked this supremes tape i used to have. this is like 13 years old.

early: it evolves into radiohead, beck, red hot chili peppers, bob dylan...but also into phish and other similar music.

after that til the nearly present (i only turned 20 in january): wilco, radiohead, beta band, clinic, talking heads, brian eno, belle and sebastian, blonde redhead, sleater-kinney

Wow. I totally wouldn't have picked you as being younger than me (was 21 in December)

14-18 (had pretty much zero interest in music before 14)

Something For Kate
Radiohead
Sandpit
Sleater-Kinney
At the Drive-In
Avalanches
Dandy Warhols
PJ Harvey (well, Stories from the City... anyway)
first Strokes album

I actually still like all those bands too (except maybe Dandys, tho I 13 Tales is still ok)

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2006 1:30 pm

This is tough, but I think these five were staples for the duration of my teens (13-19):

Led Zeppelin
Pearl Jam
Radiohead
STP
The Beatles

Though I didn't get into Radiohead until I was 16 (about a year after The Bends was out). It's tough to narrow this down to 5 as I can remember being almost equally into The Doors, Janes Addiction/Porno for Pyros, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beck, The Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Wu-Tang and Jimi Hendrix in my early-to-mid teens. In my late teens I started to get into Pavement, The Flaming Lips, Stereolab, and the whole indie thing.

thisotherkingdom · **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2006 10:03 pm

These would probably be my top five...

Aerosmith
Metallica
The Doors
Zeppelin
Green Day (Mainly because they were HUGE for me when I was 13/14)
