Well.. I was jamming to Rush earlier so I'd have to say..
Yeah I still listen to the music I listened to when I was little because of my parents.
Even 80's music because of my sister.
So classic rock from the 60's and 70's and then industrialized music from the 80's and early 90's because of my older sister.
<3.
A lot of Motown.
I think this post is discriminatory against people like me who had our memory wiped at the age of 11.
Hmm, no I don't think my parents have forced any music upon me during my childhood. You see, my parents are not music lovers... You know, they like music and buy a CD from time to time, but they are not truly music lovers, like me for example. I spent my childhood listening to the radio instead of the music my parents own and thus developing my own personal taste in music, which I'm glad I did 'cause my parents' taste is definitely not great - I'm sure they'd say the same thing about my taste in music, but hey it all comes down to people's different opinions in the end, right?
My parents listened to mostly the Beatles and the Rolling Stones when I was young.
My parents didn't really force much music upon me. My mom was most into stuff by Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow. My dad was into country. I chose country, because I liked it, though I could stand listen to my mother's music. Both of them liked folk music, but they were never really into it that much. After John Denver died in 1997, my mom asked for a Greatest Hits CD by him. By about the fifth grade, I had grown out of country and into typical pre-teen pop, slowly edging into crap like Creed and Nickelback. By the time middle school was over, I was back into country. At the end of tenth grade, I for no particular reason listened to my mom's John Denver's Greatest Hits Volume Two album, and the rest is kinda history.
So while I do listen to music that my parents did, they hardly forced it onto me.
Anything possible.
Country. Thank god I had my brother around to introduce me to rock.
My mom used to play mainly two bands a lot of the time when I was a young child growing up: The Beatles and The Moody Blues. I grew to love The Beatles but not really care much for The Moody Blues. And she listened to oldies on the radio a lot in the car, and I like that now too.
My dad played Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant (solo). Love Zeppelin, hate Plant. Led Zep just has better songs, I guess.
Then my brother got me into most of the other stuff I like.
My mum was an 80s true fan girl, Blondie, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Pet Shop Boys, Bowie and Queen. Also my grandparents and uncles influenced me music wise too, Johnny Cash, The Who, The Beatles, Elvis, Genesis, The Jam, Sex Pistols. The old generation had the best music, ours sucks!
I really have to thank my dad one day for the way he influenced me with the music he chose to play (with his guitar). I'm a culprit of once claiming that the music he was into sucked but now I think differently. I feel more cultured than my high school friends when it comes down to music since I know many of the classic hits that they may not have heard of.
