I really, really like it. Every single song is fantastic. For those who are older, what music do you think teenagers should be listening to?

[nonamesleft]

Barney's greatest hits? Sharon, Lois and Bram?

[m_rue]

mmm...Pavement, The Cure, and Blonde Redhead. Your aunt has really good taste in music.

Hahaha I have a feeling I should be offended, but that was funny.

[thatwasamoment]

Yes, let her decide what music you should listen to.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Yes, let her decide what music you should listen to.

Exactly what I was going to say.

[MADSTA]

mmm...Pavement, The Cure, and Blonde Redhead. Your aunt has really good taste in music.
Yeah, she's the man.
You should check out her band, Dog Day (http://www.myspace.com/dogdaytheband).

Yes, let her decide what music you should listen to.
I probably wouldn't have heard of the majority of these bands if wasn't for her, so I appreciate that she made it. I'm still going to listen to all the bands I knew about before, now I just have a more diverse musical library.

Hahaha I have a feeling I should be offended, but that was funny.

[FeynmanWannabe]

Yes, let her decide what music you should listen to.

[Tyler Revolution]

[ArTkY_]

Drive Like Jehu! Fugazi! Fuck Yeah!

[ArTkY_]

Oh shit! Blonde Redhead, The Cure, Pixies, and Sonic Youth too?! Your aunt is fucking amazing.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Not new school Pop/Punk I'll tell you that much..

The Smiths, The Cure, Deftones, Weezer, The Afghan Whigs, Deerhoof, Cursive, The Pixies, Modest Mouse, Against Me!, Nirvana, etc.

I am only 19, I am just throwing out bands that either I grew up listening too or are remembered in the past 15 years.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Depeche Mode.

[MADSTA]

Hahaha wow I had fogotten about this thread.
But thanks to my aunt, I looove the Pixies and Pavement. So, I guess her mission was a success?

[jwelborn]

Her band is pretty sweet.

[hienz429]

When i was 16 (two years ago) i was listening to FOB, Alkaline Trio, The Used, The Cure, The Clash, Rage Against The Machine, Blink and everything else... you just have to find stuff that speaks to u at the time

[MADSTA]

Her band is pretty sweet.
They're doing a tour of the US. :nod:
Check their myspace fo dates!

[DonVito]

I'm 16, and have only heard of about 15% of the bands on there, hmm, cool, I'll search for the songs around, thanks.

[Pheshlee]

Neutral Milk Hotel, Sufjan Stevens, Jeff Buckley, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Iron & Wine, The Smiths.

That list really lacks depth, man.

[Derekx]

Depeche Mode, The Smiths, Bauhaus, Joy Division, New Order, Morrissey, Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, Prince, Underworld, Kraftwerk, Sigur Ros, Daft Punk, Portishead, that's all I can think of right now.

[IWasaCamera]

Neutral Milk Hotel, Sufjan Stevens, Jeff Buckley, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Iron & Wine, The Smiths.

That list really lacks depth, man.
I somehow doubt the initial list was intended to encompass every single artist a 16 year-old should hear or even be extensive for that matter.

With that being said, listening to the music you cited never hurts.

[dubey]

I don't even want to know what my aunt would recommend me. Your aunt is awesome.

[tm decomposer]

Fugazi Hahah

[MADSTA]

I don't even want to know what my aunt would recommend me. Your aunt is awesome.
She's also only 10 years older than me. Quite a bit younger than my parents and my other aunts and uncles. (And yours, I'm assuming)

[TylerTimeBomb]

you cant have a 16yr mix without soco amaretto lime - brand new.

[IWasaCamera]

The mix is infinitely better without that song.

[DeadTreeForMatt]

Having just been 16 a few months ago, I listen to a lot of:

The Beatles, Bright Eyes, Cursive, Death Cab for Cutie, Eliott Smith, The Good Life, Neutral Milk Hotel, Pavement, Sonic Youth, Stars, and that sort of thing. Indie/emo, whatever.

[littler101]

you have a pretty cool aunt
