Childhood Memories.

[Chris]

I grew up listening to such singers as: Dionne Warwick, Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra, Engelbert Humperdick xD, The Supremes, Cyndi Lauper and a couple more. My mom use to play all of these old records, and now, I can't seem to shake off those music habits. I still love to listen to Dionne Warwick, especially the songs: Alfie, I'll Never Love This Way Again, Walk on By and so on. My point being, what kind of music did your parents "force" upon you during your childhood? And do you still listen to certain artists your parents use to listen to?

[Venom]

My parents didnt force any music on me at all.

[Shoden]

I was brought up with stuff like: Dio, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Deep Purple.

My parents didnt force any music on me at all.

Ah, I didn't mean it in a bad way.

[Venom]

My parents didnt force any music on me at all.

Ah, I didn't mean it in a bad way.

Yeah I know, my parents arent huge on music.

[StarChild]

I grew up listening to everything from The Beatles, to Jimmy Buffet. Along with a lot of classical music. My dad was a music major in college, so there was a lot of music at my house, and there still is.

[Reles]

My dad's musical taste was impeccible. -.- I grew up listening to the most embarrassing kinds of music. I grew up to Neil Diamond, Abba, and the Bee Gees. As you can tell from my dad's current musical taste, it's anything that's playing on the radio and really poppy. Thank god I've acquired my brother's musical taste and I like listening to indie or grunge.

[Brian The Pink Shark]

I can distinctly remember 3 songs on a playlist my dad had on tape in the car when i was young

Daughter by Pearl Jam
Mrs Robinson by Simon and Garfunkle
and The Sidewinder Sleeps TOnight by R.E.M

which all all still favorites of mine to this day

my parents also used to listen to lots of Wishbone Ash and Pink Floyd when i was young are now 2 of my favorite bands. my parents have had a huge influence over my music tastes and i for one am happy to have such great parents (who will give me free concert tickets )

[Aurey]

I listened to a lot of what my brother used to listen to. I wasn't really big on music then, so I hardly remember what is what that he I and used to listen to. Metal and other crap.

I still listen to a bit of what my brother listens to, well a lot I guess, but his tastes are far more obscure and avant-garde than mine.

[Dreddz]

Kriss Kross - Jump
The first song i knew and loved...

[Citizen Soup]

A lot of John Denver, Jim Croce, ELO, and Eric Clapton. I give each a listen from time to time.

[Meat Puppet]

I grew up around a lot of heavy-mulletted '80s rockers so that was the kind of music I always heard. I grew to hate them and their music.

[Perducci]

My parents mostly listened to bands like, Queen, Bon Jovi, The Beatles, Led Zepplin, and even Bob Marley.

So I got most of my musical tastes from them.

[Jebus]

Country music. Lots and lots of country.

*still has issues caused by this*

[Perducci]

Also, my uncle used to listen to KISS pretty much all the time.
