My dad's totally stuck in the 80s, with his old REM and Oingo Boingo, it's cute. The two of us have music-swapping nights and listen to the Pogues and the Cure, and I let him burn all of my CDs. He really likes The Decemberists and The Arcade Fire. I think it's the most adorable thing ever.
When my mom and I go on road trips, we listen to Billy Joel and soundtracks from different musicals, or John McCutcheon, James Taylor, John Denver. She can sing along to my favorites from when I lived back at home, like Weezer and Rilo Kiley and Ben Kweller, but it sounds like she's singing folk songs to little kids no matter what. I can't tease her though, because I make everything sound like opera.
My parents are pretty tolerant of my taste in music, although neither of them let me play Joanna Newsom when I'm around them. My dad says she sounds like a midget riding a pony.

Perhaps they should have gone with Slut Bunwalla.

My dad called me a few day ago to tell me he can get me tickets to a "Black Easy Peed" concert. It would have been funny if he had'nt call me at 8 am.

Second'd :D
Synchronicity:
My dad listens to blues pretty much exclusively. When I try to play something for him (no matter what) he tells me it sucks and to take it out of the CD player right then because it's hurting his ears (even with really quite, calm music.) And he sings along with his music but he can't sing at all. It's awful.
My mom doesn't really listen to music but occasionally she'll listen to classical flute music or celtic music. I've had slightly better sucess with my mom when it comes to having her listen to my music only because she doesn't yell at me to take it out of the CD player. She said that Pearl Jam, The Shins, The Postal Service, Snow Patrol, etc, were "pretty good but she prefered silence."
My parent's vinyl collection from the 70's and 80's includes two rock albums. It's a sad world.
Panbombadil:
My dad likes nothing more than blasing a German Schlager. Needless to say this did not rub off on me. He used to like Zepellin and Pink Floyd, but he says he's grown out of that. Shame, shame dad.
