I think it depends on the year. In my 14th year, there were relatively few bangers. There were a lot more ballads back then, and they've aged poorly.

I predate digital music, I listened to the radio, but only had so many tapes, so I didn't get to hear what I wanted all the time. What I did get to hear where those ballads over and over.

I only listened to rock and metal back then. I can now appreciate R&B and Country from back then, but I don't get nostalgic from it.
