Fun Stuff > BAND

The extra letter:
The only thing my dad listens to is Joe Cocker and Elvis.

My mum got me into The Who, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and last but definitely not least, Leonard Cohen.

She likes some of the CDs I force her to listen to occasionally in the car. Stuff like Dead Can Dance and Ween.

A few months ago I found out she was a really big Iron Maiden fan, too.

dancarter:
Ugh.

My dad has a huge record collection from the late 60's through most of the 70's.  stuff ranges from Sgt. Pepper's(I've never really been fond of The Beatles, just don't get them) to stuff like John Denver, The Bee Gees (back when they were kinda not disco), Gordon Lightfoot and Nana Mouskouri...stuff like that.  He likes other things also, like that pop-country thing, and Alabama.  

My mom is a whole other game.  She likes Tina Turner, classic 50's and 60's r&r(most stuff aside from Elvis), and current stuff like Roch Voisine and Jeff Healy.

I've managed to sneak some likings of stuff like Bowie and Tom Waits into their maws, as well as bands like Depeche Mode, which my mom really enjoys.  It's kind of weird listening to her sing Master and Servant.

Makeout_Hobo:
My dad got me into
The Clash
Leonard Cohen
Bob Dylan
Reggae
Paul Simon.

My godfather got me into
The eels
Wilco
Ryan Adams
The Ramones

Basically, I owe my entire music taste to those two men, because my dads stuff got me into more classic things, and my godfather got me into indie.

My parents raised me on 50's and 60's rock 'n' roll.  When I was older, I discovered classic rock, and stole most of my parents' Beatlesa, CSN(Y), and THe Band records.  My father taught me to love Bob Dylan, my Mother introduced me to The Beatles (She was one of those screaming fans at Yankee Stadium in '64).  My older brother introduced me to Led Zeppelin.

I didn't really start to appreciate any of it until I was a teenager, but this music defines me as a person--

Bunnyman:
Lessee...

My Dad's not really a *music* guy per se.  He does listen to the Beach Boys sometimes in the car in lieu of AM news radio, and has been known to purchase a ZZ Top or Dire Straits album now and again.
He did really like Amon Tobin's "Permutation," so I got him a copy of that.  He also does occasionally listen to my burned copy of the Chemical Brothers' "Dig Your Own Hole."

My Mom, on the other hand, listens to boatloads of Jazz.  Mostly the stuff from the 1920s to the 1960s, or more recent music in a similar style.  She listens the hell out of the KCSM webcast.
