Music you loved as a teenager

Early early 90s I was into basically what every dude was. Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, The Doors, Hendrix, Cream, Allman Bros, Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, etc.

I quickly found Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Venom, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera and Megadeth.

The I got into death metal so: Morbid Angel, Deicide, Death, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation. This was the genre that basically took command and has been in command of my favorites ever since. Though back then I only knew those bands because they are all I could find in stores.

As I watched more MTV I came to like NIN, Tool, Soundgarden, and 311 mainly. I also had Sheet 1 by Plastikman for some reason, it was probably a gift? Also discovered King Crimson because of Tool at this time.

Didn't really getinto electronic until I was around 18-19. But I found all this electronic stuff by way of NIN. I had the Perfect Drug remixes with Plug and The Orb on it. So I brought Adventures Beyond... on a whim and fucking loved it. I also had Further Down the Spiral with the Aphex Twin tracks on it. I had no idea about who RDJ was but those were my favorite tracks on that album, interesting foreshadowing.

right on modey i think LD50 is one of my favorite albums ever. i still go back to that regularly.

middle school was kraftwerk all the time

tenth grade was autechre all the time

first year of college was philip glass and la monte young

Good thread and in order of appearance

50's rock and roll like Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly

Hip Hop/Electro- Mantronix, Knights of the Turntables Run DMC, Public Enemy etc

Jean Michael Jarre

60's - Floyd, Doors, Hendrix, Dylan, Zeppelin etc

Metal - Black Sabbath, Slayer, Metallica, Pantera etc

Alternative shit like Ministry, Soundgarden, Fugazi, Alice in Chains, Butthole Surfers

I got into IDM a lot later.

As far as WATMM music goes, I first heard about BoC way back in David Firth cartoons (for a long time I thought they were a Canadian band), Aphex/Squarepusher etc on electronic forums when I was 16ish. Listened to them all a lot when I was 18 but only occasionally since then.

hip hop, pop rock, dance pop, electro/tronica, trip hop, acid jazz, folk pop, and of course grunge. and 60's rock 'n roll and psychedelia. and shit house.

Started off with New Order in my early teens, followed a few years later by The Smiths and The Fall. Still it love all that this day.

Later teens, I branched out into bands like Microdisney and Easterhouse, dabbling in Depeche Mode (up to Music For The Masses) and the early Cure albums. Joy Div slotted in somewhere early on as well.

The Associates' Sulk album had a massive impact on me and still blows my mind when I hear it.

Bauhaus did and still do sound unique to me.

Towards the end of my teens, Pixies, Lush and a lot of the 4AD stable.

Cocteau Twins prominent in all that lot somewhere as well.

I still fucking love everything there and still listen to it. A lot.

punk in my tweens (nofx, bad religion, the like)

emo in my early-mid teens (the get up kids, mineral) also post-hardcore (coalesce, forstella ford)

got into goth because of the emo connection, lots of cure, smiths, bauhaus. moved to more electronic stuff like depeche mode and new order and ebm like vnv nation and apoptygma berzerk.

then idm and stuff.

pathetically i still listen to all of this stuff too, my taste doesn't seem to change so much as bloat.

actually i take that back i don't listen to epitaph punk anymore because fat mike is a sexist cockbag and the rest of it is pretty monotonous after a while.

Yeah, pretty much. I can still enjoy a lot of what I used to listen to.

one of my favourite things about new order was how out of place peter hook always looked.

also gillian gilbert. a girl doing all the nerdy synth stuff in a band.

this is why new order was great.

I think it's just for a one-off benefit gig, although I don't really follow news about New Order these days. You just have to look at the quantum leap they took after Gilbert officially joined to realise how important she was though.

When I was a teen I listened mostly to Destiny's Child.

back when I was a teen, there weren't many people at my school that listened to both hip hop and new wave/synth pop type music at the same time. my brotha friends would call everything Depeche Mode, and relate everything to depression. and my new waver friends would refer to hip hop as "That black music that uses no instruments!"

I was always in the middle going... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

they're back for two gigs, i reckon. but i think they enjoy hook's misery so much they might do a full album just to piss him off.
