Teenage You

[Mister Sin]

I want us all to jump in our time machines and head back to that magical time(at least for me) when you were a teenager, in your room, laying on the bed thinking or whatever the hell you were doing...what Album was on repeat?

For me, I was in High School from 99-2003.

My favorite albums were:

Linkin Park-"Hybrid Theory"

Good Goo Dolls-"A Boy Named Goo" & "Dizzy Up The Girl"

Third Eye Blind-"Third Eye Blind"

But the album that stood out the most and that I listened to over and over and over, burning out the eye on my CD player...

Blink 182-"Enema of the State"

If you were a Blink fan or a fan of that genre in general, you could listen to it front to back. I would sit in my room and draw or work out with my 20lb dumb bells. Lol and just listen.

Today me and the wife headed up to Costco and I realized she had my Blink 182 cd in her car. I put it in. It was scratched to shit, being over 20 years old. Sounded great and took me right back to those years...just laying on my bead, staring at the ceiling, absorbing it all. Great shit.

I was a skater use to watch 411VM back in the day, and turntablism was a huge interest of mine.

 

[Juice]

Pink Floyd - "The Wall"
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
The Smiths - "Meat is Murder"
Miles Davis - "Kind of Blue"
REM - "The Reckoning" or "Murmur"

I wore those albums out on a daily basis.

Mostly the same that I listen to now: anything except country.

Ok, I don't know if this is the right thread to post this in (something you are embarrassed to admit). Two soundtracks that I had on repeat, trying to sing was Grease and Saturday Night Fever......I did the strut with John Travolta and I sang to Olivia Newton John, You're the One That I want...believe me, I wanted "to feel my way."

Based on this pretty specific description of yours @Juggs this would have been before I was able to drive. That's the only time I can remember staring at my ceiling in my room listening to music that I actually picked (not the radio) to play.

I had an actual record player in my room. You young-ins have probably never seen one of those in person. I had a few albums that I remember playing on the reg.

Journey - Escape
Toto - Toto IV
REO Speedwagon - Hi Infidelity

I didn't have a tremendous selection of albums. These had multiple good songs on them though.

My days of staring at the ceiling listening to the same shit ended once I started driving.

You don't know how great the Glenn Dorsey Orchestra sounds like on a 78 record, young bastids ~ Selassie

A number of Rush albums with Moving Pictures on top
About a half dozen Yes albums
AC/DC Back in Black
Black Sabbath - Sabotage and Mob Rules
Pretty much anything by Pink Floyd from Meddle to The Wall
Pretty much everything by Led Zeppelin
The Who, Who Are You, Who's Next, and Quadrophenia
Aerosmith Toys in the Attic and Rocks

... damn, my generation had it good when it comes to music.

A shitload of weed, sometimes with my stepdad who was a lifelong smoker. Crazy, hazy days.

Since no one else has put this out there, guess I will.
The early teenage years were far better for some than others. My father was a Jekyl & Hyde, great guy to his friends & workmates, a monster to his wife (my mom) and myself. The only thing he taught me was fear, and this coming from a brilliant man who graduated PhiBetaKappa from USC with a degree in Education. He had completed his Masters, also in Education and was working on a Doctorate at the time of his death. He was also having an affair with a 22 year old girl which started when she was 17, who happened to be my adopted sisters best friend and schoolmate, until his death from a motorcycle accident in 1969. His mistress basically became a family member. I was 16 when I took my first breath without worrying about my mom, or myself for that matter. There was no real music or friends in my home until he died, my only outlet was smoking pot beginning at 15 with a buddy down the street. Now free at 16, I went wild, experimenting with everything, my life changed 100% and I moved out on my own at 17 after graduating, and i'm not sure to this day how I managed that as out of control as I got. Even with this, I measure my survival with those who grew up even worse off, and give thanks.

Everyone has a story, and I certainly didn't mean to harsh on a great thread, this was only meant to show that we can grow up with bad times and recover enough to move on to better things. I have happened to live a pretty long life and now have many stories in me, some more pleasant than others, probably not unlike many of you.

High school years. 72-76

Albums I bought in order
Carpenters, A Song for You.
Grand Funk Railroad. We're an American Band
Deep Purple. Dark Side of the Moon. (I still have this album.)

After that, I stopped buying albums for years. All my friends bought them and I spent most of my time at their house. No need to buy something I wouldn't listen to at home.

Had an 8 track in the car, with Simon and Garfunkel, Bridge over Troubled Waters, Which I played the hell out of. And Crosby, Stills Nash, and Young. Deja Vu.

The beer of choice was "Old Style" A Wisconsin beer. Would put it in the snowbank while we were at the high school dance. The drinking age was 18. But I had been buying beer in the stores since I was 15. They were a bit lax on enforcement back then.
