i didn't really listen to any music at all until the age of 13. but when i did start listening to music at age 13, it was:
all you can't leave behind (U2)
the color and the shape (foo fighters)
spiritual machines (our lady peace)
- which i thought was uber-artistic with its little spoken-word interludes
nothing that i'm embarrassed about anyway.

I was blessed enough to mostly avoid anything horrid when I was younger, although before I turned 10 I listened to a lot country radio (it was Nashville city in my house for awhile.) A few that were my favorites that I'm not so thrilled about now: The Offspring - Ixnay on the HombreGoldfinger - Hang Ups and Stomping GroundsLess Then Jake - Hello Rockview
"A proper record shop reminds us why we got into this in the first place - a place to be reminded of old friends, still in their spots on the shelves, a source of unexpected magic and lucid memories - a place that reminds us that music is more than file sharing and the management of dead data by faceless sociopathic corporations, but a storehouse of dreams, both possible and impossible." - Max Richter

Yeah, I still really like Spiritual Machines. I think Our Lady Peace has some really good songs, and that album actually was close to being cohesive and solid. Granted there are some lame tracks on it, and lyrics..."Big Green Monkey/Everyone's a Junkie"... but I still really like "Right Behind You", "In Repair", "Life", "Made to Heal", and "If You Believe". I'll have to put it on next in my playlist, and see if it's really as good as I remember. ---------------------------- It's okay, I'm a saint, I forgave your mistakes. Shadrach on LastFM |

I have to agree on liking all you can't leave behind (U2). And since U2 also had some credibility among adults I really thought I had good taste in music.

My guilty pleasure has always been Green Day's Dookie and I still think it's rather good musically as the lyrics don't matter much in this case

Yeah, Dookie got a lot of play when I was younger. I also liked Alice in Chains Facelift and, of course, Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'em.

When I was around 7 years old, I thought Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet and Def Leppard's Hysteria were totally rad. Did I think Jon Bon Jovi flying over the crowd in the video for "Livin' On A Prayer" was awesome? Immeasurably so. To my credit, I also loved Appetite for Destruction, Pet Sounds, and Sgt. Pepper's.

The first album I ever loved was Squeeze's singles, which totally holds up.
Then I got really into Offspring and Green Day when I was 9-10. I still kinda like Green Day Dookie.
I was into Oasis, Alanis Morisette and Tupac (no kidding) when I was 11. I don't have anything against them I guess.
When I was 13 I liked Kid Rock. That one's embarassing.
When I was 14-15 I was obsessed with Red Hot Chili Peppers. They're still a sentimental favorite.
When I was 16-17 I was obsessed with Dave Matthews Band. I'm not quite sure what I was thinking.

I listened to Hysteria a couple of weeks ago and was surprised how much I still like that album. I probably played it 40 times from the ages of 8-12. I can't get enough of the title track, "Hysteria", specifically the kick-ass guitar riff. Don't get me wrong, it can get a little too Spinal Tap-e at times, but I still find the album fun on the whole (and good driving music to boot). |

I can't even front - New Kids On The Block's Step By Step. That tape was worn out by the time I was done with it.

i listened to a lot of U2 and fleetwood mac at a very young age, but the first 2 albums i think i really loved were lisa stansfield's "real love" (which is still a great soul album to me, though extremely dated and of its time) and ace of base's "the sign". i was old enough by the time of the teen pop explosion of the late 1990's to not get suckered in.

For most of my young life I loved the Beach Boy and the Beatles - basically the music I was exposed to when I was young. Around the 3rd grade I decided I wanted to fit in and persuaded my Mom to buy a copy of Let Goby Avril Lavigne. I loved that album so much and listened to as often as possible, even memorizing every song on it. That lasted for about two years, and then for a while all I listened to was classical (I thought it was "the only thing worth listening to" - I was a very pretentious kid). And up until a about a year ago, I owned the following albums -
From Under the Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy
A Fever You Can't Sweat Out - Panic! at the Disco
Jojo - Jojo

It's ok we all make mistakes, I have been known to purchase music by Travis and D:Ream. |

Hey, I have a Travis album and sometimes I actually listen to it.
