i feel this topic being overtaken by imitators

name your favourite song from your teenage years --- decades are proving to have died after 40+ posts

my favourite from 13-19 years old ( 1971-1977) is........ drum roll ............ immigrant song -- led zeppelin

lets have em peeps -- you know you want to share your memories
 
13 to 19! That's an eternity! At 13 probably God Only Knows by the Beach Boys (still their best song imo), at 19 probably Yours is no Disgrace by Yes. In between at 16 probably Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower.
 
Sutherland brothers and quiver weren't too bad either.

'You got me anyway' and "arms of Mary" are great ...... "The pie" was a HUGE hit here
 
Cherry Red by the Groundhogs was going to be my favourite track of forever at one time (1971)but times change new stuff comes along but .... those favourite moments never leave .... I can still listen to that and all the other stuff that was going to forever be my favourite even this one that me and my mates would hum on the way to school 1962) I would have been nine ......... forerunner of Hawkwind and Silver Machine?

 
Even on the decades it's hard. I've based it on those who I listen to the most from those decades as I have too many thousand albums to rummage through.

60s Beach Boys and Rolling Stones
70s Queen
80s Queen, Iron Maiden, Prince, Red Hot Chilli Peppers
90s Pulp, Nirvana, Garbage, Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia, Daft Punk
00s Kasabian, Foo Fighters, Daft Punk, Katy B
10s Labrinth plus the above 00s names

at 13 it seemed an eternity -- looking back now was a mere flash and the pan (aussie band debuted in 1979 --LOL )
 

I clicked on the link and it's playing now, gosh I remember that
 
@Mike D -- sutherland brothers and quiver were absolutely fantastic -- you got me anyway is a classic -- and the pie --immense - steve marriott rocks

@JACKTHELAD - so true -- the favourite moments never leave

@tim2000s -- some great names in that list
 
That they were mate

Saw them in London once
 
Slightly digressing . My dad used to say that when he returned home and opened the door, he knew straight away which of my older brothers were home ( oldest was 12 when I was born), because of the music playing on their record player

I remember sitting down to breakfast one morning (early 70s) and turning up loud "Rebel Rebel" by DB on my dad's radio and singing long ... and I had a really GOOD voice for harmonies and pitch

My mum loved it cos I could really rock. My dad, not happy.

i was introduced to music very young -- my dad was always playing classical or the musicals
and my next door neighbour ( who was 3 years older than me ) bought every single that charted back in the early / mid 60's and carried on doing that until at least the mid 2000's
he now has one of the largest collections of Billboard top 100 vinyl in the USA and many DJ's use him as a reference
 

Would of loved to have seen that Mike, aawwww
 
my mother just thought all music was the equivalent of devil worship --LOL
 

I think I was the same, as I would of heard my 3 brothers music, but my mum liked Andy Stewart, Englebert Humperdink, Jim Reeves and Deanna Durban ( much older, my mum had an LP of hers ) also The Batchelors.

.... and it's only now I appreciate how tolerant he really was It was the "hot tramp, I love you so" with me and an air guitar (the spoon for porridge) and a perfect pitch that got him switching the dial. I was a bit of a rebel

"TRANSMISSION AND A LIVE WIRE" ......
 
seen the bowiemeister twice -- 75 young americans and 87 - glass spider -- one of my heroes
