and that was about it.

I'm 19 and turning 20 this year, so my entire childhood was either Winx Club or Lady Gaga. So to answer your question, The Fame, The Fame Monster and Born This Way only. Apart from those, I listened to the singles by other artists! I only started getting into anything other than Gaga in 2013 (aka Ariana, Katy, Nicki, etc.).

I listened to Gwen’s solo debut a lot. It was everywhere. Didn’t care for TSE. Katy’s and Gaga’s debut videos were all over TV when I was a teenager, and I had their first albums and overplayed the hell out of IKAG and Poker Face, too.

Now THAT’S a throwback! I loved A*Teens. Their cover of Dancing Queen was my go-to.

Because I’m an old cunt  but yeah I still love them

[Dan 14,999]

There was a lot of ABBA (Gold), Madonna (Ray of Light) and Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B was the first album I was obsessed with, that I'd listen to over and over  

[Chris Morlock 44,715]

From before I turned 8-ish, it was either Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, The Moody Blues, Queen or whatever my dad played on his Bose. From then til I hit 10-ish was whatever that was on the radio + Kesha. Since I hit 13, it's been mostly Kesha, Britney, Gaga, Rihanna, whatever pop girls I liked. Since I hit 15 in middle school it's been the same girls from since 2010 plus Flyleaf, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Garbage then My Chemical Romance, Marilyn Manson, Pierce the Veil, and now it's been almost anything in the rock and metal genres and subgenres while still holding onto the girls I listened to from 2010 and I've lately revisited The Moody Blues and Queen and I had gotten into Elton John.

You better come through with Garbage  I love them. I don’t care for their latest two albums, though, honestly. But their first four are great.

Not My Idea, Only Happy When it Rains, I Think I'm Paranoid, Milk, Shut Your Mouth all in my top 5. Most likely in that order.

Mine would be Milk, You Look So Fine, Tell Me Where It Hurts, Cup of Coffee and Supervixen. But I love those first 4 albums all equally. Too many iconic songs to count.

OH and Wicked Ways is definitely top 10.

I was a total eurodance kid (E-Erotic, 2 Unlimited, Captain Jack, Rednex etc.  ) 

But the first albums I played over and over were Spice, Version 2.0, The Fat of the Land and Ray of Light.

Loving the Garbage fans making their presence known.  Version 2.0 is my second fave of theirs after their debut. Medication and Special are some of their best work.

I love their first two albums   After that I couldn’t really get into them anymore. I think Version 2.0 is entirely a perfect album. The first album is amazing as well. I used to be so obsessed with Sleep (don’t remember how I got that song back then but I burned them rarities and b-sides on my own cd lol) and I kept listening to it on repeat for days

I used to be so obsessed with Milk  Every time I’d develop a new crush, I’d run home and listen to it.  Their later albums are divisive and some are better than others, but you’re right. Nothing of theirs can top those first two records. Nothing!

• Ultimate Kylie
• Differently - Cassie Davis
• How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - U2
• Fallen - Evanescence
• Beautiful Garbage - Garbage
• A Fever You Can't Sweat Out - Panic! At the Disco
• Riot - Paramore
• Pretty much every one of those So Fresh compilation CDs that came out every season.

Whew I really could have gone down the Chris Morlock path if I wasn't careful!

Milk is beautiful  

Beautiful Garbage was okay, I don’t actually remember anything from Bleed Like Me and never gave a listen to their latest two  Maybe I should try them out sometime  

[ShutUpRae 339]

Whatever  my parents or grandma played that i liked tbh  or whatever i liked on the radio, up until around age 13-14.

My grandma played lots of marvin gaye, diana ross and earth wind fire

My mom played lots of lauren hill, erykah badu and tlc

Dad played public enemy, wu-tang and krs-one 

 

I didnt start exploring my own taste until i started venturing on youtube around 13 and i used to be a weaboo so i listened to mostly j-pop  

I grew out of that by the time i was 16
