    Absolutely nothing! I started to like rock coz Sir Edeon also listened and then edn up knowing that my dad loved Led Zeppelin, AC-DC and other great bands, but only when I knew them! And he also likes Keane and Megadeth which is cool!

    My dad likes Eagles, Smokie, Elton John and stuff like that. My mother really likes a Danish singer called Anne Linnet, other than that I really don't know what she's in to...?


    Oh, they both like a Danish singer called Kim Larsen.


    Their taste really hasn't had any significant effect on me. Sure, I like Elton John, Eagles and Kim Larsen... but I don't own any CDs by them or listen to the regularly. My parents tend to dislike the music I listen to anyways.

    My mom is into Arena Rock and Metal and the like and that's what I'm into and I blame her for that.

    My dad is into Country and some other tidbits of stuff. I like a little country, the so called "New" country more than the old stuff. They both can't stand rap I'm with them. I hate rap.

    My folks aren't really that into music, despite that I bought my dad and Electric Light Orchestra cd and my mum a The Corrs cd for christmas so I guess they must like something along those lines.

    They're pretty mixed about the music I listen to. Some they like, some they don't and some they're indifferent too...

    My brothers kinda influenced me with music, but my parents never really listened to much, all I remember is like Sandi Shaw and Shakin Stevens, heh, I don't think they had any effect on my life or what I listened to though. My brothers made me like michael jackson I guess and queen but... again not many similarities with what we like these days.

    I like all kinds of music, and so I've tried introducing my parents to some new genres.

    My father is a really typical fan of the 60's, so he basically loves most stuff from the 60's and dislikes the "new" stuff a lot.
    My mother is more open-minded (or what the hell you Americans call it ), and so I've managed to make her like some hard-rock songs, and even the rebellious Swedish artist Eddie Meduza.
    Eddie Meduza just rocked, gotta love him.

    FYI:

    My dad listens to rock, I guess. He's got quite a bit of Pink Floyd, the Eagles and the Beatles. My mother listens mostly to um, not sure... slow, relaxing stuff with female vocals.

    I don't really listen to the same music as them at all.

    My Dad's into Level 42 and... um. I can't think of much else. Hmm.
    My Mum likes stuff like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cream, Led Zeppelin etc.

    My mom listens to country. A lot. She also likes some classic rock.
    My dad likes classic rock, jazz, folk, and many other genres from the 60's to the 80's, like some punk (Sex Pistols) but not disco.

    Ilike my dad's stuff- The Who, Doors, Beatles, just about anything from the 60-s to the 80's. But I also grew up listening to my brother's radio, which played a lot of 90's rock that I also enjoy. SAnd from playing video games I obtained a liking for orchestrated classical stuff, and from anime some japanese stuff.

    Mum - I have introduced her to a lot of new music she likes such as Modest Mouse, Cake, Belle And Sebastion, Radiohead, The Fiery Furnaces, The White Stripes, Bright Eyes, King Crimson, and the likes. She also likes Yes, Rush (though I found them on my own, I had borrowed her 2112 album), Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Eminem, Jack Johnson, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Queen, Guns 'N' Roses, and things like that.

    Dad - He likes Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Deep Purple, AC/DC, adores The Beatles, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Bright Eyes, Jack Johnson, Modest Mouse (or at least their Moon And Antarctica album to my knowledge), Eminem, Ozzy Osburne, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jethro Tull, Queen, The Clash, The Ramones, along with a lot of folk, country, blues, gospel, and bluegrass.

    *throws in his brother as well*
    Pantera, Franz Ferdinand, Sex Pistols, Mindless Self Indulgence, Green Day, The Offspring (his favourite), Gorillaz, Modest Mouse, Black Sabbath, The Beatles, The Ramones, Queens Of The Stone Age, and other stuff. I introduced him to a lot of these bands.

    My Dad is very into 80's music in general, both rock and pop and whatever.

    My Mom likes the same, but she's into some more mainstream music from today as well.

    I got a bunch of my first rock albums from my parents.

    My dad listens to the same stuff he used to listen to, and I've picked up on it. We both listen to a lot of classic rock. I'm a little more into the folksy stuff than he is, and way more into southern rock (The Allmans, Skynard, Molly Hatchet, etc.). He'll also listen to a little bluegrass, gospel, country and classic country/western. I listen to bluegrass and downhome gospel, none of the new stuff. We also agree on a few hymns.

    Other than that, we're pretty far apart. He's closed minded about music, and I'm a music slut. I can enjoy something from pretty much any genre. I still wonder if that gives me really good taste in music or no taste at all. xD

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    My parents listen to whatever all the hip cool pot smokers are listening to these days.

    No drugs for them, though.

    My dad has entirely influenced my music taste and I'm so glad of it. Pink Floyd, Crosby Stills & Nash, Jethro Tull. He likes Bob Dylan to a great extent too And Neil Young oh my god he idolises Neil Young to the point of stupidity.

    He doesn't like the heavier stuff like Led Zeppelin and all, though, and that's where we're kinda different.


    Agh he was a real hippy back in the day. All that's left of it now is a huge collection of vinyls, pour m'amusement.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    My Mum has almost entirely influenced my music taste. With Eric Clapton, The Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac being the biggest. My Dad loved the Bee Gees and Fleetwood Mac, but the only music he listens to now is the music I play. He got me into Kylie Minogue and KC & The Sunshine Band.

    Nowadays I listen to music from most any genre. But all my influences from my parents still exist.
