Default Famous songs written by pop/rock stars when they were teenagers
- Steven Tyler of Aerosmith wrote "Dream On" when he 17 or 18.
- Greg Lake of ELP wrote "Lucky Man" when he was 12.
- Paul McCartney wrote "When I'm Sixty-Four" when he was about 14.

Know of any others?

Teenagers can be really creative.
