50 all-time teenage classics
Since the very dawn of pop, the teenage dream has been the subject of countless hits. From cutesy Judy Garland to the sparky Arctic Monkeys, Jon Savage picks those that matter most - this is the ultimate soundtrack to the best years of your life.
Ranging from 1940 to the present day, these 50 songs - arranged in chronological order - contain various thoughts and feelings about what it is to be adolescent. Some are shameless cash-ins, others reveal acute insights, others just celebrate peer power. The list is not supposed to be definitive, but organised around various key words: youth, teen, teenage, adolescent, generation.
