What were you listening to when you were 17?

[AdamRBi]

If I first heard it playing behind amazing visuals, I usually listened to it. So it mostly locked in to soundtracks for games and a couple of movies. 4 years is quite a while to develop actual taste in music.

I used to consider myself a "I don't have a favorite band" type of guy at 17... and I still do, I just acknowledge a couple now as bands I enjoy more then other bands.

 

[Waaghpowa]

Same stuff as now, mostly Industrial such as NIN, Skinny Puppy and KMFDM.

Ugh... I am so disappointed in my 17 year-old self. I listened to street punk pretty exclusively. It's not to say that I don't still love street punk, but I was kind of a douche about punk, and it's a point of shame for me. That said here is a list of the punk bands I listened to every day when I was 17:
A Global Threat
The Unseen
The Casualties
Leftover Crack
GBH
The Exploited
The Krum Bums
Violent Society
F-Minus
Total Chaos
Toxic Narcotic
Nausea
The Varukers
Blanks 77
Funeral Dress
Defiance
Career Soldiers
Subhumans UK
The Restarts

Good times... back when I was an asshole... I mean a different kind of asshole than the one I am now.

For me 17 was10 years ago, so you youngsters with your damn hula hoops and pacman video games have me flusterd (cookie for referance)

Yeah, that was a decade ago for me too. I forget what I was listening to. Slipknot, Korn, and some other crappy nu-metal. Fear Factory has actually lasted though. Same with White Zombie and some of the alt-rock I was into at the time.

 

[Steppin Razor]

I listened to nearly all genres of music and I still listen to nearly all genres of music now. Back then I didn't have a problem with classical, but I never went out of my way to put it on so it wasn't something I listened to. Pop I avoided back then but now I don't really have a problem with it, I just don't buy CDs for it. Rap and hip-hip I still avoid mostly though as I have a hard time finding music of that style that I actually like, which is weird as I do like 50 Cent's music.

Favourite bands then - Dream Theater, Emperor, Mindless Self Indulgence, Moonspell & Nine Inch Nails.
Favourite bands now - Dream Theater, Emperor, Mindless Self Indulgence, Moonspell & Nine Inch Nails.

 

[Mortons4ck]

I trying very hard to remember. I think I was listening to Blink 182 (last album they made), Sugarcult, Reel Big Fish, some Amon Tobin, Postal Service, Santana, Reggae (mostly Third World and Bob Marley), the Killers, and a little bit of the Foo Fighters (only a handful of songs).

I had a friend that was into ska, a friend that was into electronic, a friend that was into post-punk and 90's stuff, and a friend that was into indie-hipster music. Since I started getting into music waaaay after they did, I sorta became an amalgam of their music tastes.

 

[teutonicman]

Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
AC/DC
The Doors
That's all that comes to mind right now.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Pearl Jam. And lots of it. Hot dang, Binaural is a great album...

[Kei Kaemon]

Ahaha, I have exactly what this is asking for.

When I was 17 I had a last.fm account, I don't use it anymore, stopped WHEN I was halfway through being 17.

Also just for comparison, my current last.fm

Quite the difference, actually.

 

[ayuri]

This.
Got a few more years.

 

[CoverYourHead]

I'm currently 17... so... um... yeah...

Foo Fighters, Muse, Anarchy Club, and all the classic rock and metal from the 60's and 70's. Pretty much covers most of it.

 

[Zinaxos]

right now all I listen to is Beirut

 

[Caligulove]

16-17 was around when I was looking back at music from the 60's and 70's, I think most people go through that kind of phase

(or I would hope so, would miss out on a lot of great music if they didnt)

 

[DSK-]

Drum'N'Bass and Hip Hop.

 

[Stevo_s]

For me it was this:

Knife Party - Deftones

This.
lol.
Seriously Deftones ruled me when I was 17.
