Prepare for an amazing journey of my teenage years 
13: Nothing
14: Nothing
15:
Gorillaz - Demon Days (Got this a few days after my fifteenth birthday)
Gorillaz - Gorillaz (Got this at market in Exmouth on summer holiday)
Athlete - Tourist (Favorite album ever for a while!)
Green Day - American Idiot
Green Day - International Superhits!
Kaiser Chiefs - Employment
Franz Ferdinand - Self titled
The Prodigy - Greatest Hits
A hell of a lot of Kerrang! Radio
Cds for 15th Christmas:
Alkaline Trio - Crimson
Gorillaz - G-Sides
16:
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Fall Out Boy - From Under The Cork tree ("Nobody Puts Baby in The Corner" reminds me of revising for GSCE's)
Fall Out Boy - Take This To Your Grave (Got my copy from Bournmouth, while shopping for this album I noticed an album which casing was a small tin circle. Was extremely intrigued by it and thought about getting it. I could have had for 2 for £10 but opted for Prodigy's "...Jilted Generation" instead. Looking back I made the right choice)
Franz Ferdinand - Elanor Put Your Boots on
From First To Last - Dear Diary...
Panic! At The Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (Inspired me to write my first song. It was during listening to this album once that I decided "Hey! Wait a second, Illegal Downloading is wrong." It also once inspired me to write a play which is still unfinished. All of that is true.)
Rise Against - Siren Song For The Counter Culture
Muse - Blacks Holes and Revelations
Radiohead - Ok Computer (Even then 'Lucky' and 'The Tourist' sounded bad)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Greatest Hits
Dresden Dolls - Yes Virginia...
My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
The Human League - Greatest Hits
R.E.M. - Automatic For The People (Unfairly thrown out my collection along with much of the above. I got a second hand copy late 2009 which I have given a fair amount of listens. I couldn't believe I had gotten rid of it because I deemed it "immature" when punk and it's questionable cause hit town)
Cds for 16th Christmas:
The Long Blondes - Someone To Drive You Home (Need to dust this one off)
The Blood Arm - Lie Lover Lie (very odd choice)
17:
A lot of the above for the first two months.
I brought a lot of NME back then. By a lot I mean roughly every week. I would buy albums if they had a score of 8 or over. That was the way things were and legendary albums they recommended I got them.
I was 16 and 362 days old (I think) when I went to Keswick in the Lake District. I had been many times before but this time I found a shop which sold odd antiques. So naturally I went further back the shop and there I discovered it sold CDs. Each day that holiday I would come back and buy a new one. More holiday money took a beating 
That week NME the front cover was '50 Greatest "Indie" Anthems' or something to that degree. I had no problem with "indie" back then and Live Forever by Oasis was number 1. In the article they had a part showing ten songs that didn't make the cut. Some I heard, some I hadn't. One I hadn't was called 'Motorcycle Emptiness'. The day after reading the article I was back in the shop and stumbled upon a copy of 'Forever Delayed'. I brought it, went back home, listened, didn't recognize 'Motorcycle Emptiness' and listen to 'A Design For Life' a few times then put it on the massive pile of cds I had listened to that holiday.
I don't remember what happened after that. I think a few weeks back home I listened to it. Then again, then again. Before September I had every album but Gold Against The Soul, Know Your Enemy and Lifeblood.
I became infatuated with The Holy Bible (album). Got Gold Against the Soul sometime in October I think. I think The Holy Bible effected me in someway. Like those emo/scene kids who were all okay before changing their appearance and suddenly strive so hard to fit in they ravage their minds with depression. I sometimes wonder if The Holy Bible wasn't a refuge for that time in my life but instead engulfed me. I think listening to The Holy Bible was the cause, not the effect. I wouldn't recommend it.

It's weird how I like a lot of what Naples listened to as a teenager and I wasn't even born yet. I think those of you who argue music is generational are mostly wrong.
Outlaw: How could you not have listened to music at ages 13 and 14? I first became a music fan when I was eight, and music was a huge part of my life throughout all the teen years. Anyways, thanks for sharing your epic journey with us.
