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.

Soundtrack of last week's holiday for me....never gets old.

I'm a bit surprised this didn't get more mentions:
Carole King - Tapestry

So so many!
Loving guessing the ages based on these!
If I think about albums that consistently make it on to playlists:
Rancid, and out come the wolves.
The offspring, smash
The Wildhearts, Earth vs The Wild hearts (why do you NEVER play them, radio 6?)
The Eagles, best of.

It saddens me that modern teens don't tend to love modern shouty music as much. My kids are sick of me urging them to just feel it coming up, whenever they're in my car.
I listen to a very wide variety of stuff now, but still love a bouncy band and can probably trace my current love of idles, Bob vylan and mysterines back to that lot.

Everything by The Bangles
Star by Belly

Loved Rio

Nine Inch Nails, Pretty Hate Machine
Pink Floyd, A Momentary Lapse of Reason
Sisters of Mercy, Floodland

Depends on age, doesn’t it?

I love that album, but it wasn’t on my radar at all as a teenager.

The Bends - Radiohead
Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morrisette
Automatic for the people - REM

Oasis - What’s the story morning glory

Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel

Abba the Album

Invisible Touch - Genesis

Jeff Buckley - Sketches for my sweetheart the drunk
Fiona Apple - When the pawn...

Oh, how I loved Dave Lee Roth. Eat 'em and Smile is a brilliant album. As an aside, I was offered a backstage pass when I saw him in Edinburgh but, very sadly, I was with my then fiancé. I don't even care how sleazy it was, if I'd been on my own or just with friends, I'd have accepted it.

Bat out of hell
Slippery When Wet
Talk dirty to me and Open up and say AHH! By Poison
Night songs and Long cold winter by Cinderella
Both Keepers of the seven keys by Helloween

I think you can see where my list is going.

UB40 - Signing Off

@Lessstressedhemum I reckon Diamond Dave would have been a perfect gentleman

Van Morrison - Moondance (was already old when I heard it)
Yazoo - Upstairs at Eric's, first album I ever bought.
Michael Jackson - Off the Wall
Never for Ever - Kate Bush
Prince - Sign O' the Times (had tickets for his your but he canceled London 🙁)
Sister Sledge - We Are Family
Lloyd Cole & the Commotions - Rattlesnakes (saw him live in Camden)

I was JUST about to post that!

Bridge Over Troubled Water - first album I bought.

Appetite for Destruction - Guns n Roses

comes in very handy when I’m in the office and want block out everyone else so I can concentrate.

He was a bit of a lad, but I would not have cared less. I would have climbed him like a telegraph pole. I cannot tell you how gutted I was that I was there with a partner.

No doubt - tragic kingdom I absolutely love it still!

It is all very age dependent. I’m 50 and had never heard of this album (I had a very vague awareness of Carole King in that I’d have said she was a 70s singer). I currently have it playing on Spotify and I recognise use two of the songs but only because of cover versions.

Dreaming kate bush

INXS - Kick
Lauryn Hill The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Terence Trent D'Arby Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Green Day - Bullet in a Bible
Fall Out Boy - Infinity on high

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Has been my favourite since 15 and still is 20 years later!

Whitney Houston - Whitney (the one with I wanna dance with somebody)
