.... Two songs from your teen years that sum up adolescence from your era and we will guess how old you are.

Mine would be

Teenage Dirtbag
I Predict a Riot

Just for fun!

@AlternativelyWired

I have too many songs that are from around age 8-10 right through to my early 20s. How am I supposed to choose? So many songs relate to different periods of my life.

Robbie Williams-Angels was 3rd year uni Christmas ball. But I was older than other 3rd years.

I'm tired and easily confused so please help me out here!

To be fair I was unclear! .... Teen years span a long time! I guess I was thinking of the songs you associate with being young.

Afavon yours are similar dates to mine (89/90), but it depends what age teen you were...
