Favourite songs of your teenage years
List your fave songs that were released during your teenage years (13-19). Or if you're still one then just your favourites since you turned 13!
For me that means a timeframe of September of 2001 (not the best of starts given certain world events that month) up to 2008. A definitive list is close to impossible, but from that era these ten all come to mind: Doves - There Goes The Fear The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize Evanescence - Bring Me To Life Morrissey - First of the Gang Muse - Sing for Absolution The Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now The Killers - All These Things That I've Done Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends My Chemical Romance - Welcome To The Black Parade MGMT - Time to Pretend An extremely rock/indie dominated time - the best dance tracks were mostly just before (1999-2000) and pop returned with a vengeance from 2009 onwards. Not that I was actually listening to half of these at the time - ask me then and I'd have written a list containing the likes of Cascada and Scooter Not that 'Everytime We Touch' will ever stop being a noughties classic...

bit confused isnt the point to list the songs you were listening to in teenage years not picking the great songs that were out that you may have missed.
Thats like me discounting that my first album was Five Star and saying I like Husker Du. When I didnt even know who they were when I was a teenager but now I can say they were a brilliant 80s band. For me 13-19 or more 15-19 as thats when I really got into music the big 10 acts would be for me Huey Lewis & The News Bon Jovi INXS Glass Tiger Heart Deacon Blue Del Amitri Guns N Roses The Stoneroses James But looking back with hindsight I would add The Cure, The Pixies, U2, The Smiths etc |

I'm obviously from the same era 'teenage years wise' as you so can relate to most of those choices. I didn't know any of the highlighted tracks though so investigated each via you tube... Conclusion - further investigation of each group probably now required!

There are far too many to name. An impossible task for me. I love most music.
