Wednesday (10) – Puberty – gosh parents, your music sucks, did you rebel? Play an album that takes you back to those teenage years.
Warrant- Cherry Pie
When I was in high school my musical tastes varied between new wave/alternative, the pop giants (Prince, Madonna, Huey Lewis, etc) and hair metal. Whenever I wanted to rebel and blast music from my bedroom? Definitely hair metal.
This album doesn’t hold up very well but there are still a few gems including Uncle Tom’s Cabin and I Saw Red.

Day 10 - Puberty
This album came out when I was 14. It was much different from what I’d listened to at the time (alternative and rap), was targeted towards skater types (which I was), and featured boobs on the cover. Even though it’s pretty juvenile, it’s still a fun listen for me now.

Polaris - Music from The Adventures of Pete & Pete
The Adventures of Pete & Pete is the greatest”kids show” of all time Full Stop. I use quotes because though on Nickelodeon and certainly made with children in mind it is so much more than that. There are very few kids shows that hold up to you nostalgic memories and yet somehow Pete & Pete exceed those expectations. When I think of puberty I think of Middle School and when I think of Middle School, I think of The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Oh and the music! The soundtrack is also phenomenal, Polaris made fantastic jangle pop.

Why The Adventures of Pete and Pete Is a '90s Nickelodeon Classic
We look back fondly at the innate weirdness of Nickelodeon's '90s show The Adventures of Pete and Pete...

That's an awesome first concert! Funny because mine was Blink and Green Day haha This was one of the first records I bought back in 2013. It's crazy how the prices for it have skyrocketed; hopefully they'll repress it soon.

Edit: Looks like I saw them a few months after you
Edit 2: Great fucking show

Day 10: Puberty - Teenage music discoveries
I would have been around 14 when this came out, listening to a lot of new wave & ska circa 1982. Hearing Shock the Monkey and then diving deep into this album was definitely one of those musical memories and turning points in what I listened to. The complexity & delivery of the lyrics, and the overall percussive nature of it keep me coming back for more.

I wasn't rebellious but, I was an angry, moody teen.
I bought this copy in 1989, 15 and pissed off with absolutely no reason at all.
Frank Black's screams on Tame are pure catharsis.

Day 10: Puberty
Eminem - The Eminem Show
The Slim Shady LP & The Marshall Mathers LP were the first two rap CDs I ever bought back when I was 12. I don’t have those two on vinyl (yet) tho, so I went with the first that came after them (and, in my opinion, his best)!

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
In 1983 a 14 year old me was spinning this. That is, when I could pry Zeppelin off the turntable. This is a re-issue but I have my old copy, pictured below, you can see it's unplayable with hacks and scratches and stains (?).

Day 7 - Africa
Ngozi Family - 45,000 Volts
My favorite album from the Zamrock Box. What a collection of music. The album opener is a legit earworm. There’s something about an African dialect singing in English that makes the words more....immediate to me. Like they mean more because they are carefully chosen. And when they are singing in a different language (I am not sure what other languages they speak in Zambia) it’s almost as if the vocals are another musical instrument to my uncultured ear. I love this album.
Personal anecdote: I work for an electric company and the cover is amazing to me.

....and this is after they tout “original album art” right on the hype sticker of all the reissues.

Day 10: The Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bullocks...
As one may recall from a previous thread, the only album as a young teenager I was prohibited from buying by my Mom. I eventually got it later in my teen years and only became somewhat corrupted by its rudeness over the years.
