All aboard the 303 bus.
The albums I remember listening too a lot back then (1998 ish):
The fragile - Nine inch nails
Machine head - The burning red
Kilgore - A search for reason
Fear factory - Obsolete
Soulfly - Soulfly
Slayer - Diabolus in musica (I must listen to some slayer again).
I had various dnb tapes, but always went for the darker ones, Bailey would have been a favorite back then.
I also really liked a bit of hip hop back then, Cypress Hill, Everlast..... those hip hoppers that would turn up in kerrang magazine.
Oh and lets not forget hed(p.e)

One on one? You're crazy.
I was listening to that ancient stuff when I was 15/16, only it wasn't ancient then

I hummus, therefore I am ...
1975 - on the cusp of prog rock losing out to punk and reggae ...

I'll do it this afternoon
1983/84 I was mostly listening to punk (anarcho and US hardcore) but also liked other stuff like Madness, UB40, Specials, Smiths, Bunnymen, OMD, Prince, Big Country, Bronski Beat, NMA, Style Council, TFF, Aztec Camera, Scritti Politti, Southern Death Cult and a big album for me at the time was Malcolm McLaren's Duck Rock.
I was just getting into music at 15 and started reading the NME. Their albums of the year for that period ring a few bells for what I bought into. Some haven't lasted with me - Mercury Rev, Jurassic 5, Mansun - whilst others have - Beasties, Babybird, Afghan Whigs.

Actually, might as well flounce.
Sisters, Nephilim, Bauhaus, Stranglers, PiL, Hawkwind, Fall, Cardiacs. All stuff I would -and do -happily listen to now.

indeed I do. Elder bro getting me into very old (or so it seemed at the time) stuff rather than rubbish eighties nonsense.
If I'd listened to me sister I'd have done something stupid like going to see the Teardrop Explodes. Bugger.

Time
At home (influenced by having older siblings and parents that loved their music) and house parties (cos they were the in t'ing):
Jazz; Big band is one of my first loves.
Soul; old and street/new
Rare Grooves
Reggae; ska/ragga/lovers/roots
Funk
early electro
Some pop, mainly new romantic, big ballards and commercialised soul music.

beyond boring and interesting
What did I listen to when I was 15? I went too far, man. 
One of my fave records that summer was 'Voice of America' by Cabaret Voltaire, which I played obsessively until I knew it off by heart. I lived in Brighton so we could pick up French FM radio, off which I taped stuff like Michel Chion's Requiem, 'Parages' by Jacques Lejeune and various other GRM electroacoustic pioneers, as well as stuff from 'Half Machine Lip Moves' by Chrome. As I approached 16 I got into the Virgin Prunes just when they were doing some of their darkest music. Also heard 'How Much Are They?' by Czukay/Wobble/Liebzeit on the Frank Skinner show, which became my first ever 12" purchase, the following day, in the Churchill Square HMV, going round the shops with my Mum. I was a huge fan of the Flying Lizards, and got up at 8am on my summer holidays and walked into town early just so I could get their 'Fourth Wall' album, which I still think has some absolutely amazing stuff on it.

You must be a little older than me. Taste had been split a long time by the time i discovered The Kid in the early 70s. Always brilliant gigs except the last one in Leeds just a month or so before he collapsed. He looked very ill it was such a sad end.Dear Rory.
Many evenings at The Marquee watching Taste
