I was born after much of the music mentioned so far, however, I have always been partial to the Kinks. They are, in my mind, the most under rated of the "British Invasion" groups. While their attempts at theatrical albums undermined their popularity, they made a massive comeback in the late seventies and early 80's. I always had a thing for older rock growing up, I used to play my dad's Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly albums incessantly.
During my teen years though, I became a very big fan of 2 primary genres, Heavy Metal and the new genres (at the time) of Gangsta and Dirty rap. In fact, my senior year at the farm I audited Bandura's graduate seminar on violence in the media and my final paper compared the impacts of music and music videos from various genres on violent behaviors in youth.
My all time favorite song in high school (which is a cover of a song by Diamond Head):

Heroism is not defined by one great act, but by a lifetime of right action.
