artists that you liked while being a teenager, and you still listen to on regular bases (answer if youre above 30 years old)

Jesus and Mary Chain: got Stoned and Dethroned while in high school. played it a lot. Am just warming up to Psychocandy in the last year.

The Cure
The Smiths
808 State
Sisters of Mercy
Depeche Mode
Siouxsie & the Banshees
My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult
Ministry
Skinny Puppy

I hate baseball, though.

Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Minutemen, Black Flag, Meat Puppets, Naked Raygun, Hanoi Rocks, Government Issue, James Gang, Camper Van Beethoven, Judas Priest, W.A.S.P., ZZ Top... I could go on and on, since my taste hasn't really changed that much since my teenage years.

Cramps, Bauhaus, Ramones, Damned . . and that's just the ones that jump into my head. It's actually artists from my mid-late twenties that I've kind of given up on.

too many to list. hundreds of artists and albums going back to the 70's. i never stop listening to stuff i liked/loved. it's one reason why i rarely get excited about bands re-forming or playing live again for the first time in 20 or 30 years. i don't have nostalgia for them, because they never stopped being a part of my life. i don't miss them!

Big Black, Foetus, Dead Kennedys, and lots more.

yeah tons here too. stones, modern lovers, ramones, led zep, slayer, sly & the family stone, t. rex & tons more.

Jesus and Mary Chain, New Order, loads of classic rock and 80s/early 90s hip-hop, Smiths, REM, La's...actually lots more too. It's more interesting for me to think of the exceptions, which are fewer and crappier (e.g. Phish, Indigo Girls, Connells).

Ramones, Led Zep, Wu-Tang Clan, Dr. Dre, Snoop, Beatles, New Order, Sonic Youth

Stranglers
Psychedelic Furs
The Clash
Joy Division
Echo and the Bunnymen
Teardrop Explodes
Dream Syndicate

I'm old.

...but I still really really love baseball.

Alice Cooper
Blue Oyster Cult

...it's that "regular basis" thing that's making my list a lot shorter than everyone else's. I was in high school when Nevermind came out, but I honestly don't listen to Nirvana much anymore, though I still own some albums. Most of my teenage years was spent listening to metal and I don't listen to any of that any more, at all.

I turned on to Slint and Drive Like Jehu around age 18 and I still play Jehu pretty consistently--nothing beats them when I need an adrenaline jolt. But Slint pretty much changed my listening life, and though I'll shout "classic! classic! classic!" I can't say I put it on much any more. Not with regularity. I listen to a lot of stuff from my teen years for nostalgia purposes only. I settled into my tastes more when I was in my 20s (and continue to settle today, in my 30s).

well, i guess i'm kind of alone here.
and yes, the "regular bases" is very important here:
i still like the cramps,sonic yourh,ramones etc...but i don't listen to them on regular bases, in fact,the last time ive listend to any of those bands are , like, a year or so back

reg basis: James Brown, Parliament, PIL

"regular bases?"

home run

english is not my first language

I guess I also had Led Zep IV as a teen, but I like them more now

I've listened to everyone I listed on at least 4 separate occasions since January. That should qualify as regular - I'm 36 now, btw.

ah cool no worries. my list:

slint
solution unknown
squirrel bait
crain
pil
minutemen
black flag
r.e.m.
naked raygun
camper van beethoven
bauhaus
joy division
new order

probably a few more tho oddly i probably listen to more (and more kinds of) hardcore now than i did then.

maybe it's just me who gets tired of everything after a while
i wonder what i would listen to (if anything) in my 40's from my present listening stuff

Wow - Crain! I haven't listened to them... well, since I was a teenager.

if you like crain check out this and this.

xpost

sonic youth, joy division, xtc, r.e.m., the smiths, minutemen, new order, david bowie, steely dan, galaxie 500, husker du, kraftwerk, lush, modern lovers, my bloody valentine, velvet underground

all the glam bands and pre-punk but mostly roxy music and david bowie
family (uk band with roger chapman)
king crimson
can

i hadn't listened to them for 10-15 years as i'd sold off almost all my LPs but when i got them on cd i just adored them all again.

yeah, i think a better list for me, or more interesting list for me, would be of stuff that i used to like but that i never ever listen to anymore. and have no desire to listen to. krokus and the woodentops come to mind. i would probably even pass them up in the dollar bin. the style council! that's another good one. don't care if i ever hear that stuff again. still have all my jam records though.

There's a lot of twee-pop that I'll probably never want to revisit.

Theatre of Hate, Genesis, Van der Graaf, Plastic People of the Universe, James Blood Ulmer, Rush, Shriekback, Stranglers, Bad Brains

Led Zeppelin Hüsker Dü

Madness, Stranglers, Specials, English Beat, Damned.

And I never ever understood baseball.

Prince (up to Rainbow Children.)

beach boys
abba (if getting into them at 19 counts)
occasional zep, funkadelic, xtc
very occasional yes, queen, king crimson

Aviador Dro
Front 242
Manowar
Los Nikis
Ramones

scott I'd still throw down for that first Style Council record, that was good stuff

Cost of Loving, not so much

Van der Graaf, Kate Bush, The Fall, Swans but I was nearly 20 before I got into them. I listen to lots of stuff now that I liked as a teenager but didn't play regularly back then.

I need to start listening to Manowar again.

None really, and I used to listen to a lot of bands mentioned here back then.

Kate Bush, Simple Minds, Associates, Scritti Politti, Human League, R.E.M., Janet Jackson, ABC...

linkin park

kids grow up fast these days

Smiths and Depeche Mode are my only two big answers, and with DM mostly only Violator. But there's stuff I was peripherally aware of in high school that I'm very fond of now. Like Black Flag.

oh, scrolling up I see someone said Prince, and I can't argue with that.

on a regular basis? None of it. I don't mind Joni Mitchell or Steely Dan or Eno or Little Feat or the Sanford-Townsend Band (threw that one in there just because it's amusing) or Roy Wood or America or King Crimson, Yes, ELP, Genesis and Flash (the recent Kid Soul Numero comp features one song that sounds just like Peter Banks is playing guitar) or Jethro Tull or the Clash or Captain Beefheart, but I don't listen to any of that on a regular basis any more. 10cc, nope. As for the stuff I heard on the radio--Foghat? that kind of thing--I'm completely indifferent to that these days, nothing is more amusing to me that some earnest person my age trying to convince me that "Kiss were really good" or "actually, Journey had some good songs" or "Foghat really rocked," none of which I think is true, altho I do tear up a bit when I hear "Beth" and for that matter if someone would buy me a really good Ozark Mountain Devils (is that their name?) comp with "Jackie Blue" on it I'd listen to that.

I mean, I think Beefheart really holds up, as does the Clash, and I remember buying the Band records when I was about 18 (lousy Capitol LP versions) and Nick Lowe I still like. All of which I listened to as a teenager. But Sharon would leave me if I played Beefheart very much. Nick Lowe I could listen to any time, so that's an answer. and right, it's the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.

"Sanford-Townsend Band (threw that one in there just because it's amusing)"

hahaha, i'll say! you must have been a wonderfully demented child.

"nothing is more amusing to me that some earnest person my age trying to convince me that "Kiss were really good" or "actually, Journey had some good songs" or "Foghat really rocked," none of which I think is true"

kiss were never very good. journey did have some good songs. foghat did rock.

stuff i got into in my late teens that i still listen to

roxy music
xtc
king crimson

stuff i was into earlier in my teens that i occasionally still dip into
led zep
the who
yes

i still listen to a lot of stuff i got into late in college or right after, and that's over 15 years ago

fleetwood mac, the bangles, pretenders, ratcat, happy hate me nots, in fact all manner of late 80s aussie stuff (which i didn't listen to much at all during my 20s and am now rediscovering), galaxie 500, opal..

skid row's 'slave to the grind'

'monkey business' in particular

it's the "regular basis" thing that's killing me. i revisit these bands occasionally:

king crimson
led zeppelin
slayer
napalm death
godflesh
faith no more
painkiller
fugazi
misfits

actually king crimson more than occasionally. and Yes.

the fall
human league
new order
soft cell
roxy music
the orchids
my bloody valentine
velvet underground
pet shop boys
throwing muses
wedding present

Damn hard to answer this one. Honestly, I don't think I listen to anything more than 10 years old on a regular basis anymore (unless you count stuff from the '20s - '50s, I suppose. Yay archival re-issues!).

Semi-regularly(?):

Sly Stone
James Brown
Jimi Hendrix
Aretha Franklin
Stones
Led Zep
Doors
Beatles
Clash
NY Dolls
Who

All of whom I've listened to at one time or another this year (I think).

And I'm 42 goin' on 43, btw.

(Edd and Scott - I love youse guys, but KISS were too good, DAMMIT!!!)

I suspect the starter of this thread is a liar.

Just like Mark E. Smith so rightly pointed out in an interview that the singer of Vapors was lying when he said he was "Turning Japanese".

bob dylan, aerosmith, mott teh hoople, bowie, thin lizzy, todd rundgren, plus lots of the philly soul and disco singers I would listen to on car radio now I play their albums

I still have plenty of Aerosmith moments, too. But not as much as I have Prince moments.

Kevin Ayers, Yes, Pink Floyd, Gong/Daevid Allen, 1973-era Genesis, Rolling Stones Black And Blue, Bowie, The Clash, Sparks, Abba, Carpenters, Cockney Rebel, Slade, Roy Wood/Wizzard.

Just like Mark E. Smith so rightly pointed out in an interview that the singer of Vapors was lying when he said he was "Turning Japanese".

I'm 29 so too young to mention that a fair amount of stuff from my teen and pre-teen years (Bowie, Roxy, Eno, Talking Heads, Can, Sonic Youth, Rolling Stones, etc.) gets fairly regular play, but probably more than it would if it weren't for my iPod.

Killing Joke, Sisters of Mercy, AC/DC, Motorhead, Kiss, Gang of Four, PiL, Dead Kennedys, loads more.

I was an oldies-radio aficionado from early on, so my list is kinda long:

Jefferson Airplane/Starship
Monkees
Beatles
Turtles
Barry Manilow
Billy Joel
Kiss
Four Tops
Temptations
Supremes
Grass Roots
Tommy James

I actually still like much of the stuff I did when I was in my teens. Right now I'm watching the Dead Kennedys on You Tube oh memories.

Things I don't really listen to anymore except for nostalgia and LOL purposes include lot of hardcore bands I was really into in the late '90s. Hahaha.

I am now 30 so can answer this thread; to be honest though, while I can think of what I still hold in deep affection from my teenage years (Orbital, Beastie Boys, Screamadelica, The Stone Roses, etc), I don't listen to any of it much anymore.

New Order, Duran Duran.

I go through revisits periodically to Echo and the Bunnymen, the Smiths, the Cure, JAMC, Cocteau Twins but not regularly like those two. I'm more likely to explore stuff I wasn't really into as a teenager, and see if my tastes have changed.

A lot of standards (Prince, The Beatles, Zeppelin)

my favorite at the end of high school, and still a huge mental presence: Aphex Twin

(31 years)

Actually a lot, but Depeche Mode in particular stick out as the most obvious name.

Bowie, Lou Reed

Easier to list stuff that I revisit most rarely, which would be a lot of 70s prog, mainstream metal and your basic "classic rock". The rest, I love nearly as much now as in the '80s; and if I devote less time to it than I used to, it's only because there's so many more performers competing for my time and attention.

And occasionally, some external event (like an ILM thread) inspires me to devote an entire day or three entirely to an old special favourite. For example, last month I went on a minutemen bender, triggered by the recent 'men poll.

(It's maybe worth noting that majority of my high-school faves were in no way contemporary - they were either dead, broken up, or long past their prime by 1981-86.)

hmm...neil young....

someone put on Nevermind at a bike polo match the other week, and for a second i rolled my eyes and thought what despicable 20 yo hipster decided to be ironic and then i noticed it was a dude in his mid 30s, with road rash all over, feeling aggro, and i softened and was like 'ok dude, i feel you'

i don't listen much to music from my HS years (apart from the occasional Zeppelin), but lol college stuff comes up way more frequently

lots of 'em. guess i'm too predictable and boring:
Bob
Neil
Stones
the Clash
Ramones
Miles Davis
Eno
Velvet Underground
to a lesser extent: the Grateful Dead, the Jam, G04, Elvis C.

I can't think of much that I liked as a teenager that I don't still like, with the exception maybe of "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" (not sure why I was so into that...I didn't even have the uncensored cover).

Bands from my teen years that get played the most are:
Cars
Judas Priest
Pink Floyd (but then I liked later stuff and now I like earlier)
David Bowie
Rush

(40 years old)

Define regular.

I mean, I've always been kinda all over the place, have always preferred mixes to albums and was that weird kid who collected samplers. I still listen to a lot of that stuff, but it's just a lot more dilute. Like, today I'm listening to JaMC for the first time in, like, six months, but that's still kinda a "regular" rotation for me.

Stuff that was touchstones then and still is: Pixies, Talking Heads, B-52s, REM, Sex Pistols, Clash, Ramones… It's more that I just kinda shed my fandom for industrial (entirely apropos, it's really boring after you get past the abrasiveness) and now I have real ska albums instead of third-wave (but boy, noting the cyclical nature of pop, my body tenses anticipating the blow of third-fourth-fifth wave revivalism). The first CDs that my parents gave me with my CD player when I was 15 were Pablo Honey, In the Court of the Crimson King, Gish, The Best of Warren Zevon (Quiet Normal Life), and The Stooges. I listen to all of those folks except Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins, and the rest of my taste has had the same level of drop off, I think.

Oh, and I'm finally getting around to investigating a bunch of stuff that I kinda liked but didn't really think about while I was a teen, like the Melvins and Queen and Moondog.

I'll regularly listen to cassettes I bought in my teens or mixtapes I made as a teenager in the car, which was my dad's car when I was a teenager. Artists on these tapes that I still like: Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Pogues, Velvet Underground, Joy Division, Smiths, Camper Van Beethoven, Bowie, REM, The Clash, Jesus & Mary Chain

Stuff I listened to on occasion as a teen that I listen to more/like more now: Siouxsie, This Mortal Coil, Adam and the Ants, Misfits

Delved into Jazz at age 18 as I wrapped up Miami Bass.

Several Jazz albums from that era get monthly rotation today.

pavement
uhm i was a teenager less than five years ago my vote don't count

I can only think of two bands that I've never taken a break from, even if at any given time I'm revisiting something from the teens (lately the Cars, but there's been a 28 year gap)

The Kinks
The Minutemen

I didn't have a copy of Village Green until my friend gave me his at the end of high school, as he went into the army and divested himself of his worldly possessions. But that LP is the only record that has always been in regular rotation. Something Else has been played less frequently, but I've had it since I was about 14. Minutemen, I've jumped between albums, but they've never fallen from favor.

Radiohead, Hum, Björk, Flaming Lips, Mogwai, Spiritualized, PJ Harvey, My Bloody Valentine, The Smashing Pumpkins...

off the top of my head....pavement, sonic youth, the fall, stereolab. silver jews, the cure

oh wait, i just listened to 'murmur' a couple of hours ago in the car!

I still listen to most of the stuff that I listened to in high school - last night I played Led Zeppelin II while making dinner, tonight I listened to parts of Goo and Gish. Not as much as stuff from that I could have listened to in high school but wasn't into yet, but still.

Mostly I don't listen to stuff that I was into during my very late teens and early 20s - Primus and Phish are probably the big ones here.

then:

beatles
ac/dc
led zep
dead kennedies
black sabbath
harcore punk
violent femmes
sonic youth
talking heads
the cure
the smiths
joy division
new order

now:
lots and lots of rap
random newer indie stuff that sounds fairly different from what i listened to years ago (phoenix, here we go magic, supercar)
50's jazz
motown
70's soul
techno/dance stuff

then and now:
the beatles
brian eno
led zep
techno dance stuff
an occasional spin of talking heads and sonic youth

basically there's occasional overlap, but mostly i get bored listening to the same shit over and over again, so i'm always looking for new styles/genres groups, not all of which are necessarily appropriate for my age (41) or socio-economic bracket. even the beatles/led zep/eno only really got a second look cause i realized at some point i hadn't actually heard every single album of theirs when i was younger, so there was still a solid body of their music i hadn't listened to yet which got me into the bands again...

also, i'm finally getting around to checking out some stuff years later that i no longer feel the need to turn my nose up at because the wrong clique in high school listened to it: rush, for instance, or michael jackson, or the police...

sonic youth
stereolab
tortoise
steely dan
