A fair amount while whittling away some of the so-so '90's bands I could just as easily turn on the radio at noon if I ever wanted to listen to them again. I mean I started listening to Killing Joke at 15 and 4 of the 6 CD's in my CD changer are KJ albums. Probably the one band I've had the biggest falling out with was Metallica, but like Jansz said, it has more to do with just listening to them so much as a teenager that I don't really feel like it now.

101 Albums That May Not Change Your Life, But I Really Like And You Might Too

I still listen to most of the music I listened to as a teenager, the staples being Beatles, Beach Boys, Velvet Underground, Dylan, Roxy Music, Eno, Television, Talking Heads. I don't listen to much country music now (I was raised on and listened to a lot of '60s/'70s country music as a teen), rarely listen to Joni Mitchell or Led Zeppelin (used to be an ardent fan of both) and almost never listen to The Clash and Sex Pistols these days.

All of it.

Almost all of it, with very few exceptions. Being a Teen of The 80's who was actually looking out for great new music that was not listened to by any of my neighbors in Small Dot, there's a collection of good and bad I still dig out. I won't admit much to those who I liked in very small doses in passing before I was made aware of what I was listening to.

There's a number of crappy albums set in some dark corner in my collection reminding me that I had the luck to actually buy great albums like The Smith's Hatful of Hallow and Japan's Gentlemen Take Polaroids one day, two albums that pointed me towards my late Teen years in terms of style and substance, and friends who pointed me to harder sounds that saved me from wishing I had a time machine to bring me back to the days when "If You Leave" was popular in The States - instead I would love to revisit a closed Porno Theater, a huge one with a stage (it used to be a First Run movie theater back in The 50's!), watching The UK Subs and Broken Bones which might not have been the highlight of my life musically, but seriously one that I enjoyed going to and hearing every power chord thrashed into my ears as a finale to the final days as a Teen.

The dumped list is as follows - A lot of New Wave from 1985-7 that aimed for the US market (Looking at you, Crush and Pacific Age-era OMD!), some crappy Pop music styled as modern (Yes, "Shadows of the Night" by Pat Bennitar...just plain NO! "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes...did I really like that one?), and some AOR, although I will not mention which ones. If anyone mentions my two month interest in Urban Cowboy Country (hey, I was seriously in depression when the REAL W4 left the air to change into a Country station), then at least it was just a phase that was needed to show that I was certainly not a citizen of where I grew up as a Teen in. Maybe I could throw in Spandeau Ballet, but I won't be that harsh...and you know that much is true!

Even though I haven't been a teenager since 1984, I still listen to a surprising amount of the stuff I listened to back then. Probably not as much of it as I used to, but even the stuff I listen to only rarely nowadays I still like, it's just ceased to be a core thing I listen to. I'd say about 40% of the stuff I listened to regularly as a teenager, I still regularly (or semi-regularly) listen to now. Most (not all) of the other 60% I still like but don't listen to much anymore.

I like a lot of stuff I heard as a teenager. I guess I am lucky that I grew up in a family that were partial to music. I had grandparents, uncles, cousins who were musicians. My father had a small album collection. My mother liked old movies (which had music in them). So even before I became a teen I was expose to a decent amount of music. My brothers and I became musicians/album collectors. I like a lot of what I heard as a teen and I think it is still (some of) the best music I ever heard - I'm tearing up from nostalgia. *sniffle* It was then when I was a teen I realized I only like 0.001% that was out there and the secret was to find that 0.001% that is worth listening to.

As a teenager I used to listen to lots of reggae, especially dub, such a "Scientist", "Sly and Robbie" , "Yellowman", lots of earthy Jamaican stuff. It went well, most easily and smoothly, with my, ahem, herbally inspired stoned perceptions.
Now I'm a man (of sorts), as sober as porridge, I never listen to such laid back grooves, I'm far too impatient and ambitious, although I still think it sounds good, albeit not quite as good as it use to sound.

I hope your tastes never fossilize.

Still a teenager too, so I also have no idea.
