> There's been analysis that you basically like whatever was popular when you were 14 [2].

I was clearly excluded from this analysis, seeing as how out of the entries in the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 2006, I can see exactly three songs that I somewhat enjoy alongside dozens of songs that I hate with a passion. I'd sooner listen to "We Built This City" on repeat for 24 hours straight than listen any of the Top 10 of that year even once (with the sole exception of "Crazy").

I'd find that analysis to be more believable if it filtered by genres/subcultures a bit. I hung out with the metalheads when I was 14, so a lot of rock and metal artists/groups that were popular in 2006-ish - SoaD, Disturbed, Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Mushroomhead, Nightwish, Dream Theater, Lacuna Coil, Dethklok, Blind Guardian, and the like - are the ones that stuck around at the top of my personal rankings.
