The age 19 rule is pretty good. Mine is generally, that if someone were asked to list their favorite all time albums, a good chunk of the albums listed will probably fall within a 3-5 year window. That window is usually age 14-19 for that individual.
I graduated HS in '98 thus my preference for the Grunge/Alternative bands, but I generally like a little of everything. Old-new, light-hard, if it's good, it's good. But our preferences always stand tall..
