I think I was 16 when I bought the jagged little pill album, so it would be the song ironic, but that was released when I was 17. But also Common People is a standout one I still always sing when it comes on the radio when driving.

I didn't realise Bobby Davro was a singer

Light my Fire : The Doors
Had never heard anything like it at that time. Just couldn't get enough of listening to it, especially love the extended instrumental break, even today.

Extreme - More than words. Thought it was so romantic and meaningful!

Well that would be Everything I Do (I Do it For You). Pretty hard to escape that one the summer I turned 16.

Into the Groove - Madonna

Ditto. Loved it.

Better the Devil you know (Kylie). And World in Motion (New Order) obviously! That was a good summer to turn 16.

Along with loads of previous named songs (so many of us must be the same age!) ...

Jack and Dianne.

I remember it particularly because the lyrics say ''hold on to 16 as long as you caaaan!''

and i was 16. And thought 'why would i want to hold on to this age it's shite!'

Youth is wasted on the young.

She’s not wrong though. Things like this is exactly how social engineering works - little breadcrumbs of information we leave around the internet (by answering Facebook quizzes etc) that can be pieced together by data collectors.

And yes actually I am great fun at parties.

I remember sitting my o levels with an ear worm of bob Marley 3 little birds - don’t worry, about a thing, cos every little thing will be alright. Shit happens. Worrying never helps. You will come through tough times.

I loved Seasons in the Sun, but it made me cry. I was 16 the year after that, but my one to remember most is Sailing by Rod Stewart.

(I'm also in West Yorkshire).

Probably Smells Like Teen Spirit. I loved Nirvana so much

Honky Tonk Women and Sweet Caroline 😂

It was by Bobby Goldsboro ..terrible record🤮

Baby I Love Your Way by Big Mountain

Having looked up the number 1 hits from the year in which I turned 16, I'm having flashbacks to a school field trip where a couple of kids from the year below got on everyone's nerves by endlessly wailing, "Xana-doo! Xana-doo-oo-oo!" There were some bangers and some toe-curlers, like every other year.

1976. That summer. I was 16.🌞 The Youth Club. Abba and Dancing Queen. I remember it so well.

Two tribes by Frankie goes to Hollywood. Height of cold war stuff.

Mind blowing decisions by Heatwave. My boyfriend may have been trying to tell me something but I was very sweet and innocent and didn't realise until many years later.

Crazy, Gnarles Barkley
Tomorrow, Orson
Naive, The Cooks

more than words

Must have been the only person born in the whole of that year if it’s outing…….. 🤣
