Inspired by today's Secret #7.

I was really into Sugar Ray, Mindless Self Indulgence, and Sum 41. Heh.

The Ataris
My Chemical Romance
Weezer
The Killers
Franz Ferdinand
The Strokes
Jet
Incubus
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

some good, some bad

Tori Amos, Bette Midler, Madonna, Michael Jackson.

The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin, mostly. ...I can't think of any "modern" music I was listening to at that age, since it was I think the next year or so I started art school and that was where I discovered They Might Be Giants.

From my dad, classic rock like Metallica and Pink Floyd. From my sisters, newer rock like Korn and Tool. From my grandma, 90s country like Reba McEntire and Garth Brooks.

For myself I was into Linkin Park, Muse, Evanescence, Foo Fighters.

Selena, My Chemical Romance, and Evanescence.

When I was 14 was when I was exposed to popular music for the first time. See, before that I only heard my parents music and the Christian stuff I heard at school. My dad does classical only. My mom does old country and some 60s music.

I had no exposure to anything else until we were back in the US for a year and carpooling with another family. That family played popular radio in their car, so I got exposed for the first time. That was really when my love of music started because I heard variety for the first time and started to realize all that music could be.

That was the 90s, and at that point I started listening to boy bands, hip hop, classic rock, anything I could get my hands on.

Same, I had no exposure to current popular music - there was only one radio station and it played "golden oldies" so the best I heard was some good 60s music. And then when I was 16 we got an FM radio station and the first song they played was "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and that was it for me!

1989? I don't know that I listened to anything distinct in 1989 besides...literally top40 radio and MTV I guess. Same thing I listened to in 1986-90.

I remember Milli Vanilli being all over everything - radio, MTV, etc.

And The Little Mermaid came out that year.

I was very into Roxette, Paula Abdul, Richard Marx, Madonna, Bobby Brown, and, yeah, New Kids on the Block.

One of my friends was really into The Cure, so I listened to quite a few of their songs, and Depeche Mode, too.

I feel like Batdance by Prince had pretty continuous play for a while.
Other songs that I felt hit it super big and got a lot of play were:
Black Velvet – Alannah Myles
Bust a Move – Young MC
Eternal Flame – The Bangles
If I Could Turn Back Time – Cher
Janie's Got a Gun - Aerosmith
Me So Horny – 2 Live Crew - this got that parental advisory label, which made it more popular
Pump Up the Jam – Technotronic
She Drives Me Crazy – Fine Young Cannibals
We Didn't Start the Fire – Billy Joel
Wind Beneath My Wings – Bette Midler

If I could turn back time...I would have not bothered listening to NKOTB.

I was going into full weeb phase at the time and pretty much had so many anime op/closing on my mp3 player (mostly of Naruto and anything related to CLAMP tbh lol) - which ultimately lead me to discovering Kokia; pretty sure her song Dandelion was the one I listened to the most back then.

Also I had a cd copy of Linkin Park's Reanimation well before actually listening to Hybrid Theory that I would play to death in rotation with Evanescence's Fallen and Papa Roach's Getting Away With Murder.

Classic Rock (Rush, Def Leppard), "Emo" music (Linkin Park, Evanescence), Rap (Nelly, Eminem) and 90s Alt Rock (The Cranberries, Nirvana)

Basically, the same music I listen to now, minus Nelly and add more 90s Alt Rock and Punk.

Almost exclusively Panic! At The Disco and Evanescence.

Smashing Pumpkins, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Garbage, Orgy, Placebo, Pet (fronted by Lisa Papineau), Joe Satriani, Metallica, Pantera, Weezer, White Zombie. Also some older stuff from my parents like Pink Floyd.

Paramore, MCR, Eyes Set to Kill, Senses Fail, A7S, TBS, Panic! At the Disco, 3 Days Grace, Linkin Park, etc.

In the indie zone, The Killers, some random indie groups/singers like Cursive, My Brightest Diamond, Bats for Lashes, and probably some other folks whose names I can't remember but found on websites where I could download for free.

Bond (the female violinist/viola group -- theme songs to many a fanfic lol). Buika. Beenie Man. Tami Chin. Basement Jaxx. Any number of reggaeton artists before their proper breaking into the English market. Ian Van Dahl. Euro Dance music lol. Freestyle. Utada Hikaru, Name Amuro, High & Mighty Colour.

I was all over the place lol. And now I'm thinking to the soundtracks I set to fics I wrote lol.

Mostly mix CDs like Now 3, 4, and 5; Big Shiny Tunes 3, 4, and 5; and Women & Song 3 and 4.

Also, a ton of indie songs I heard on Buffy and managed to download from whichever torrenting site was active at the time--Napster? Kazaa? Limewire? I don't remember which incarnation of torrenting we were on in the early 00's.

Plus Michelle Branch, Vanessa Carlton, and Sarah McLachlan.

Whatever I liked on the Top 40 stations. U2 mostly (very big fan for a couple of years), and the hits from the Bangles, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Europe, Cinderella, the Jets, Bon Jovi, Genesis, Beastie Boys, and stuff from a few years before like Culture Club, Howard Jones, Huey Lewis & the News, and Duran Duran. I also began listening to Latin Freestyle/House music.

*Same anon.
I also began getting into the Cure and New Order when I was fourteen and a half, fifteen.

I was still mostly listening to my parents collection at that age. My favorites were Fleetwood Mac, Tina Turner, Suzanne Vega, Disco Tex and the Sexolettes, Cab Calloway, New Order, The Cure and The Clash.

The Goo Goo Dolls - I listen to Slide to go back in time :)

Iris is still one of the best songs released.
