From what I see a lot, the music people listen to while growing up is usually the one that they like the most as an adult. Case in point, older generations generally liking classic rock over the more electronica pop music of today. Or, those in the 90's that were exposed to a lot more variety of pop music compared to today's age.
For me, probably the band that I listened to the most during junior high/early high school was System of a Down - and a lot of other alt rock and metal bands.
I distinctly remember linking to this song back on the craftshop and immediately getting harassed about it. No points for guessing by whom. Still, in retrospect, I can totally understand mocking me. This is some emo tripe. XD
I um... my childhood - and I do mean the space between birth and the age of twelve - involved 60's/70's/80's rock, some metal, and a bunch of jazz and blues, mostly. Influence from my aunt (my dad's sister) got me into hip-hop, RnB, and pop. My parents' first attempt at buying me music was a cassette tape of Kriss Kross (I must've been around ten years old). That didn't really work work out. It'd be years before I acquired any real interest in hip-hop and rap.
I was in high school in the late '90s/early '00s, and my tastes involved everything from my childhood, and a lot of '90s rock, alt rock, and so on. Near the end of high school and just after, I can distinctly tell you that my tastes were very much Slipknot, Korn, Linkin Park, and Marilyn Manson. My time as a nightclubber leant me to a lot heavier things, and really got me into my current deep love of the heavier end of electronic music.
At some point, I started really loving music that simply wasn't in any languages that I understood, and in turn made me want to learn the languages I was hearing, which I'm doing bit by bit now. I still listen to all of the things I've mentioned, still love the music of my childhood and every subsequent section of my life.
But yes, songs from my childhood/teen years. Hm. Can I pick just one? Sure. Let's go with my favourite band from high school - The Tea Party: **Spoilered because... well, I don't want to make this post too long!

I wonder if that Master & Magarita song is based off the novel of the same name. It's heavily influenced by Goethe's Faust and is considered one of the greatest Russian novels of all time. I highly recommend reading it.
I listened to a lot of punk/grunge in my adolescence, mostly when I was around fifteen and sixteen.
