How much of the music you liked as a teenager do you listen to today?

**Janszoon** · 11-15-2014, 10:38 AM

I'd say I still like pretty much all the music I liked as a teenager but I don't listen to it very often simply because I listened to it so much back then.

Well, all of it, for obvious reasons.

Most of it...there are certain bands and songs that i listened to SO much back then that the songs are burnt into my brain with such clarity and detail, that I really don't need to dig back on them......but i do like revisiting my teenage songs/albums/artists and I will do so several times a year

I listen to most of it but then again I'm only a year out of the woods of being a teenager so who knows how long that'll hold up. Captain Beefheart has been my favourite since I was fifteen though so that's a start.

Ha! The question is a bit loaded.

It's been 35 years since I was a teenager!

Still a teenager for a little while at least.
I still adore PIxies with every inch of my being. Radiohead too.
Must say though, I can't remember the last time I listened to The Clash and they were my favourite band for years. Quite sad actually.

Very little. My love for ABBA is really the only thing that survived to see an almost-daily basis of listening.

Everything I would have listened to as a teenager (Pat Benatar, The Cars, Bread, Bon Jovi, assorted hair metal bands, top tunes of the 1980s, etc.) comes to light either when I'm drunk or in need of a nostalgic fix.

(Though, to be fair, I found Sparks when I was 19.)

The music is still there from when I was younger, but over the years, my music taste has evolved. I still listen to them for nostalgia sake, however.

Funny it was the same for Korn and System of a Down were huge for me
