[RUSH2112]

I'm 17 and I listen to almost everything my 44 year old father listens to but almost nothing my mother listens to. My dad and I have gone to Bela Fleck, Chic Corea, Rush, and Dream Theater together.

I never said that, I just can't really see a parental figure enjoying them.

If I ever have kids, I'm not gonna stop listening to Anal Cunt.

You should probably stop listening to them whether or not you have kids.

Anyway, my dad listens to stuff like Pink Floyd and miscellanious top 40's rock from the 1980's. My mum doesn't listen to music often, but she likes most of my music (except stuff like Aphex Twin, Opeth, etc).

I'm gonna see if I can find the old records that are in the attic.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention we're also going to see Roger Waters perform the whole of DSOTM and parts of the Wall. Not sure how good it will be but every music geek should go see it just to say they have.

What're you gonna tell your kids about Akercocke?

My dad has a bunch of cool records from Hendrix, Dylan, Beatles, Bowie, Stones, Velvet Underground, Zeppelin, etc...but I don't know how much he actually listens to that stuff anymore. Thought I like all those artists, besides Dylan there's nothing I'm really really into. And he didn't get me into him. Plus my dad listens to all kinds of random stuff. Like he bought Radiohead's "Kid A" when it came out because he read a good review, but he barely listened to it and eventually I stole it. And just recently he bought the Pussycat Dolls cd, which completely perplexes me.
My mom listens to like John Mayer and stuff of that nature, I got her into some stuff on the Garden State soundtrack which I bought for her though, she likes Frou Frou, The Shins etc. And she borrowed all my Foo Fighters cds to put in her car, I guess she's pretty into them. The other day she asks me if one of the songs where Dave screams a little bit is called "Screamo" haha.
But pretty much both of my parents will listen to anything I put as long as it's pleasant, they can't take screaming/shouting.
And they'll make dumb jokes, like after I played Thursday dad was all "So that's Thursday, what does Friday sound like?" eyeroll. but I supposed all parents do that.

As of about five minutes ago my dad is officially hooked on Godsmack. That was almost too easy.

my mother, as it appears to be the case with many of you, was much less of a influence on my tastes than my dad. I never really enjoyed either of their tastes until I grew into my late teens (and out of my "parents fucking suck because I don't always get what I want" phase), when I began to become interested in jazz and in particular blues, and discovered that much of the music that I was buying, my dad already had, and on mint vinyl to boot. I was jealous. Although I have to say, even above the Coltraine and Miles Davis, Tom Waits was the musician that he "educated" me on that I love most. He's still a constant inhabitor of my stereo.
