What was your teenage angst song?

[Prestia]

Mine was Creep by Radiohead. I thought I was so angsty and tortured

My niece is currently heartbroken and playing Lewis Capaldi on a loop.

Hah! I was just coming on to say Janice Ian's 'At Seventeen' too. Another oldie here!

My Immortal by Evanescence.

Seeline - snap! We are obviously very old. Actually, the song on that album I relate to now was the one which went 'I don't want to ride the milk train anymore, I'll go to bed at nine, and waken with the dawn'.

Loads!
Garbage - only happy when it rains
Skunk anansie - hedonism
No doubt - don't speak
The verve - bitter sweet symphony

Creep without a doubt was teenage anthem for all people of a certain age

Also most Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, and Incubus.

Babes in Toyland's Fontanelle album was the soundtrack to my teenage rage.

Metallica- Ronnie
Linkin Park- Crawling
Guns N roses- November Rain
The Cranberries -My Favourite Game
Nirvana- Lithium

Some great reminders of songs on this thread that I haven't heard in ages!

My most angsty song weirdly was janis ian with the song "17"

Such a melancholic song. I remember thinking I'd never heard a song quite like that before.

Oh and freak on a leash OBV

Mazzy Star - Fade Into You

Such a brilliant song.

Whole albums:

Guns n’ Roses - Appetite for destruction

Def Leppard - Hysteria

Wonder Stuff - Eight legged groove machine

Got me through my GCSEs. Sort of. Home life was not fun. I was a hormonal depressed mess.

Otis Redding - Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
Nina Simone - Ne me quitte pas (which I think is Jacques Brel)
Communards - Don't leave me this way

Another thread for cheery uppy songs?

Leave R.E.M, even now I bang that up full driving round at work when I’m in a bad mood.

Only Happy When it Rains -Garbage
Killing in the Name - Rage Against The Machine
Street Spirit -Radiohead
Would - Alice in Chains
Pretty much all of Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins

Marillion- Script for a jester's tear, the whole album
Bowie - wild is the wind
Nilsen - without you
Bowie - sorrow
Bowie - rebel, rebel

Mazzy star into dust
The verve bitter sweet symphony
Eminem sing for the moment

Would - Alice in Chains

Love Layne Staley's powerful voice.

I know It’s Over - The Smiths
I want You - Elvis Costello

I know there were more... !

Waiting for the Night - Depeche Mode (in fact the entire Violator album, I have it on vinyl and I don’t think it left my turntable for about a year!)

Can't believe we haven't had more Angst Queen Tori Amos.

Crucify is the one that came to mind first but probably most of the Little Earthquakes album really.

Jagged little pill is an absolute masterpiece.

I was a Catholic school girl and Forgiven hit hard

But also the entire album fallen by evanescence and the wall by pink Floyd, with a bit of Linkin park thrown in for extra points

I could never get the whole Alanis Morrisette thing. She always seemed to me inauthentic, a musician created by music biz execs.

Siamese Twins by The Cure with the lights turned off.

Agreed that Creep is the ultimate teenage angst anthem.

Jagged Little Pill coincided with 17-18 year old anorexic me being dumped by someone who’d messed me around for ages. Cue a lot of wailing on my room with it on repeat.

Also, I’m Only Happy When it Rains by Garbage and the whole of Blur’s Great Escape album - there are a lot of melancholy/cynical songs on that and I really felt like it fitted me at the time.

Nancy Boy by Placebo and Girls and Boys by Blur we’re total anthems for my group of friends - not for angst purposes but because we were the theatrical, gender bending, not quite straight group at school and we related.
