An album you loved as a teen that you still love

[Outofideas79]

What album did you love as a teen, that you still love now. I don't really listen to album anymore, just the individual songs I like on Spotify. However one album I will listen to, from start to finish, in the correct order, on a regular basis is Greenday, American Idiot. There isn't one song on there I don't like. I love the flow of the album, and it reminds me of being young.

Alan Parsons Project - Gaudi

Hole - Celebrity Skin

Levellers - levelling the land
Top Gun sound track

Parade, Prince.

Up at the Lake by The Charlatans

INXS kick

The Kick Inside by Kate Bush and Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd (showing my age . I LOVED them both in my early teens. Been playing them a lot again recently. Still as good.

I was really into Hot Fuss by The Killers. Still think it's a great album.

Nevermind and In Utero by Nirvana
Appetite for Destruction by Guns N Roses
Keep the Faith by Bon Jovi
Bedtime Stories by Madonna
Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morrisette.

Manifesto by Roxy Music, Make It Big, Wham! and Duran Duran Rio.

Yes! I think so. I've been going back and listening to some and I'm loving it. For me it started with Hybrid Park by Linkin Park when I was 11 and probably finished with American Idiot when I was 15 I think after that I certainly started accessing music differently via my ipod, buying songs not albums and listening to playlists not an album in it's entirety. I had a few cds I kept and sometime play in my car which is the only place I have a cd player. So 11 to 15 was the sweet spot for me.

Ones I liked as an older teenager were Club Classics Vol One Soul II Soul, Bleach Nirvana and Mother's Milk Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Must've been about 18 then.

@BurbageBrook this is one of my favourites as well. I've got the cd knowing around somewhere.

The Who- Who's Next,
Genesis - Selling England By The Pound,
David Bowie - Pinups

And when I was into my 20s -

Elvis Costello - Armed Forces
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

Time Out by Dave Brubeck

The Crossing by Big Country

Oh yes. The Black Parade is a brilliant album as well. When you look at them from this perspective and realise how well they've aged, I think you appreciate them all the more. And Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. I saw MCR a couple of years ago. It was brilliant fun.

Sgt Pepper

I'm not that old, but it was my first album in the 90s

I was born very much in the wrong decade!

Although I like and respect my music choices when I was 11-15, only one or two artists have really stayed with me, Scritti Politti (amazing lyrics!) and Nick Kamen - of course I fancied Green of SP like mad and Nick Kamen, damn that boy was hot and could sing and dance!

And By The Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Absolutely loved this album.

Incredible string band: liquid acrobat as regards the air

Hot Fuss

Dire Straits - Making Movies
OMD - Architecture and Morality

OMG thank you so much for this thread and @MojoDojoCasaHouse as I am currently thrashing around my kitchen to The Wonder Stuff. Happy days.
I have never stopped listening to Kate Bush, Hounds of Love (amongst other KB classics).

One of my favourite songs ever is Party Girl and when I read Story of My Life (Jay McInerney) where they sing this and say 'we all love Costello' - I was like, hell yeah!
