Your favorite albums when you were a teenager

[Paul]

I thought this would be a fun topic. What were your favorite albums when you were a teenager?

I'll start with...

Nirvana- In Utero.
Green Day- Dookie.
Alanis Morissette: Jagged Little Pill.

I loved them then, and still do today.

[H-Virus]

My musical tastes were pretty nonexistent as a teenager. It wasn't until I went to college that I acquired my love for metal. Before that I mainly just listened to the stuff that was popular to like at the time: Eminem, Limp Bizkit, Blink 182, Linkin Park, etc. Pretty sure I don't own any of those albums anymore.

In Utero is one of mine, too. Listened to it way more than Nevermind.

Pretty much any Beatles album.

Hot Rocks, a Rolling Stones greatest hits compilation, that is probably the best way to start diving into the band.

The first two Oasis albums. This was before I had regular internet and learned there was whole worlds of music that I’d never heard of. And thought that almost everything good was made before I was born. I thought they were a literal oasis in a desert of crap. So pretty much what the au band thought about themselves.

I mean so many to mention that are still my favourites today. I turned 20 in December 2004.

Weezer - The Blue Album

This is still my favourite album now.

Used to like Pinkerton too, but it's aged... a lot worse.

[Ultimo Gallos]

I should get smacked for forgetting these

Pixies-Surfer Rosa,DooLittle,Bossanova,Trompe Le Monde

The only good that came out of my high school girlfriend was her introducing me to the Pixies.

Tori Amos-Little Earthquakes-Came out right at the end of my teen years and stayed in my car cd player for almost 3 years straight.

[Deleted]

As a teenager, I thought Metallica's Master Of Puppets was the greatest work of music ever recorded.

25 years later, my opinion hasn't changed.
