Are you talking adolescence or teen years?
Anything Motown and the Beatles, with some Elvis during adolescence.
Teen years were...Lord, I listened to so much from so many artists it was hard to say, but the ones I wore out were The Allman Brothers Band (1st), Harvest (Neil Young), Sweet Baby James, American Beauty, Street-Corner Talking, LZ through IV, Who's Next...there were many, many others, and if I had a week I think I could remember most of them.

These for sure:

 

[kyallie]

The Beatles, Steely Dan, The Eagles, Joe Walsh, "But Seriously Folks"....Funk 49.

Seven come to mind from my lower teenage years.
1. Nevermind, Nirvana
2. Siamese Dream, Smashing Pumpkins
3. The Black Album, Metallica
4. Ten, Pearl Jam
5. Dirt, Alice in Chains
6. Doolittle, Pixies
7. Unplugged, Eric Clapton

To RT & Allie's lists, I'd add Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon & Wish You Were Here, plus ZZ Top's Tres Hombres. Went through multiple copies of these on vinyl & 8-track--for youngsters, that's pre-cd technology, which is of course, pre-web/ipod/iphone technology.

Come to think of it, all of these still show up on the ol' ipod rotation still today, many decades after I became old. (Almost said "after I grew up" but it's an open question whether that's actually happened yet...:biggrin2

 

[It's On A Slab]

Genesis - Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Selling England By The Pound

Yes - Close To The Edge, The Yes Album, Fragile

Bowie - just about everything from Space Oddity thru Diamond Dogs, the early to mid-70s Bowie.
Jeff Beck - Wired (played the grooves off that record).
