TEENAGE ANGST, JUST ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT GETS



Description

The trauma of pubescent stirrings has probably troubled adolescents since the stone age but it wasn’t until the 1950s that “teenagers” became identified as a distinct tribal entity with mixed-up emotions twixt 12 and 20 - and the new-found opportunity to sing about it, whether writing their own thoughts on the matter or groomed for pop stardom by Tin Pan Alley professionals. This supposed ‘age of innocence’ (or canny exploitation of the teenage market by wily old hucksters) produced some dreadful schlock but also many undeniable classics of the genre.

Our 60-tracker sorts the wheat from the chaff and also includes a strong seasoning of otherwise rock ‘n’ rolling stars who recorded a nod to their own teenage insecurities along the way. It’s a bewitching and generally tunefully catchy reminder of that time of life when ‘love’ is a metaphor for unruly lumps in the trousers of young men and blossoming bumps on the chests of young women. Aw, c’mon, own up, we’ve all been there.
