Hi, and welcome to the boards.

I am certainly no expert on OCD, but I am a (OK, old) person who is surrounded by a generation of music experts, music lovers, and musicians. For those who have a great passion and lifelong bond with music, it typically starts at a young age, and grows in different stages throughout life.

While your tastes change, your music will change. What your favorites are today, will not be your favorites of tomorrow. Rather than judge the music, and rid yourself of the music that you have enjoyed before...keep it. Build yourself your own personal library of music. You don't need to play it, if you don't feel like it. Music can be like an old faithful friend, hearing an old song can bring you back to the very day in your life that you remember it by. Some songs will make you cry, others will make you laugh.

If you are concerned about the effect the music is having on you, I would seek the help from your parents...if you have that kind of relationship. I also have a 14 year old son, so I know there is a lot going on at your age. You can't imagine all the changes you are going through right now, hormonally, emotionally, and physically. You are not alone with this.

Hopefully just taking about it will help, and we are always hear to listen, if you need us. keep us posted, OK?
