13 for me was the Replacements, the Clash, Husker Du, R.E.M., Velvets, MC5, Moby Grape, the Jam, U2, '60s garage (the '80s Rhino Nuggets compilations -- "The Hits," "Punk," "Pop," etc. -- had just come out), and my first foray into Who bootlegs (Philly '73).
Discovered all of the above within a 3-4 month period. Good times.
17 was Public Enemy, De La Soul, Green, and Sonic Youth, but mostly dominated by a Kinks obsession that lasted a solid 18 months.

When I was 17, I liked Spoon, Arcade Fire, and the Hold Steady--all bands that were cool then but are apparently lame now.
13? i listened to mostly chart music from the radio, which these days i guess would make me a super-cool poptimist but in reality i just wasn't aware of the existence of anything other than chart music (and it's not like the late '80s were a golden age for chart music). i had a tape of def leppard's "hysteria", i loved that record a lot. and i was really bugging my mom to let me buy "appetite for destruction", which she did finally relent on.
