Your parents & siblings taste in music
Which musical groups/artists does (Or did) your parents & siblings enjoy listening to as you grew up? Did some of their picks rub off on you in a positive manner or did they rub off in a negative way?
My Dad: Dolly Parton Porter Wagoner Hank Williams Sr. Elvis Presley Roy Clark Buck Owens Merle Haggard George Jones Conway Twitty Loretta Lynn The Beach Boys My Mom: Three Dog Night (I took my Mom to say 'em back in 1988-She was ever so glad, minus the drunken guy who 'whipped it out' to urinate in the section where we were sitting!) The Beatles The Rolling Stones Queen CCR The Doobie Bros. Linda Rondstadt Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band Dire Straits Prince WAR Tina Turner The Bee Gees John Denver Glen Campbell ABBA The Commodores The Platters Chuck Berry Bill Haley & the Comets Buddy Holly And almost any Disco act!!! My older brothers: Kiss Pink Floyd Black Sabbath Queen Led Zeppelin Fleetwood Mac Rush The Rolling Stones The Beatles Deep Purple Yes The Who Saga Triumph Kansas Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Aerosmith Ozzy Osbourne Night Ranger Van Halen Guns N Roses (My older brother Geary had the original vinyl LP of GNR's "Live Like a Suicide" before "Appetite for Destruction" was released-Those 4 songs on "Suicide" were the first songs I heard of GNR) Yes, I 'positively' absorbed a lil' of everything I listened too growing up. I still basically listen to all the above now minus George Jones & Merle Haggard (If you were from Muskogee, OK you would also HATE Merle Haggard because of his signature song "Okie from Muskogee".)....And Yes, I occasionally play CD's from my Mom's huge Disco collection (Including the Village People & KC & the Sunshine Band)

Brian, it sort of surprises me your mom was so into disco cuz she was such a tough b*tch! My dad played the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack at every party we had.
Dad's Faves: The Beatles (Esp John Lennon) Eagles (Every time he put this on my little bro fell asleep) Stones Bee Gees FM Mom's: Whatever's on the radio. I did not get my musical ear from her! Although she can carry a tune sometimes. Bro: Guns N' Roses (Axl is to him as Stevie is to me) I don't know who else! Hard rock stuff. Haha.

Wow! Some Ledgies are YOUNG!!!! I can relate to alot of their parents music. lol
My dad: Elvis 40's big band music Tex Mex music Bing, Frank, Dean, Andy Williams, Herb Alpert, ect My Mom Same as above but she would listen and sing to songs she liked on the radio too. My brothers: Beatles, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Queen, Alice Cooper, KISS, ect Me: Opposite of what my brothers listened to. I do like some songs from above but I was mainly a Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac, Linda Ronstradt, Andy Gibb, Stevie Nicks, Heart type of music lover. Anything current on radio too. NO country. Maybe a couple of Dolly Parton songs but that was about it.

My mom is very much a 70s music fan. She is the reason I am into Fleetwood Mac.
Her favorites: Allman Brothers (she LOVES them) The Eagles Three Dog Night The Doobie Brothers BTO Aerosmith Dad: Elvis, Cream, Black Sabbath, CCR from his younger years. He also listened to a lot of older country, like Hank Williams, Jr., Ronnie Milsap, Barbara Mandrell, early George Strait and Reba, etc.

my mum's favourite band is u2. it's cool that they still make good music so we both have the same favourite even though we're a genertion apart.
dad was different to most other peoples parents cause he liked heaps of modern stuff like nirvana but he was also a fan of stevie's.

My parents were both very much into The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac, Cat Stevens, and Carole King. My mom really got into The BeeGees and that whole Saturday Night Fever business. And she loved Babs, of course. My older sister was into Led Zeppelin, Marshall Tucker, and I remember she went to a Steve Miller concert once. Lol. My younger brother was a major metal head. And not the kind of commercial metal that one hears on the radio. He was into some serious thrashing!
The music my parents listened to stayed with me throughout my adulthood. I love all that stuff and much of it is still so relevant.

My Mother...
Quote:
At my Mom's funeral last March, I was asked by the preciding Pastor if my Mom had any music picked out to be played before/during the funeral...Well, Knowing my Mom's 'warped' sense of humor I was tempted to play her favorite songs by the band WAR (I can't think of the title of the song, but I remember one of the verses which was my Mom's theme song) but I sure only my older brother Geary & myself would get the joke: "I'll whoop yer Momma's ass I'll whoop yer Daddy's ass I'll whoop yer sista's ass I might even whoop my own ass Ass kicker... Booty whooper" As for a tough bitch, My Mom had a co-worker who was a gay biker chick, who was even in awe that Mom came to her defense when other co-workers tried to start that ol' homophobic BS on her, cause dear ol Mom threatenedto kick anybodies ass who f**ked with her friend, And Mom wouldnt care if yer male/female and black-or-white...As my Mom was fond of saying: "You don't cross the Boss...And I'm the boss!" (If you were dumb and didnt heed her word she would rain down upon yer ass-I know that from experience  )

I'm proud to say I discovered FM on my own.
 My dad liked them, but shockingly enough, we never owned any of their records, or any of Stevie's solo stuff. I thought that was so weird. How does one avoid FM?! My dad had an 8-track of BN, supposedly, and some Chicken Shack stuff, but it's either lost or back in Scotland.My dad liked Gordon Lightfoot, the Beach Boys, Cream, The Beatles, Moody Blues, FM, etc. Pretty much everything, and our tastes are a lot alike. GL is the first artist I remember hearing as a kid. Eveerrrry trip we took, my dad would put a tape in, and for the entire drive, nothin' but Gord. And Alma Cogan; he really liked her. Mom is/was all about The Everly Bros, Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, Dean Martin, Sinatra - what do you expect from an Italian?  She liked FM, but always got confused when she saw Stevie with FM... then solo... then eventually Tom Petty... then FM.... She was always like, what band is this woman in?! I think I get a bit from each of them, but I was definitely influenced by my brother. He was all about Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Blondie, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Dio, Lee Aaron. When the 90's rolled around, he was really into Alanis, Tori Amos, Garbage, all of those chicks. Alanis was my goddess for awhile.  I pretty much like a little bit of everything. There are some artists that I like that my family had nothing to do with ie, Cyndi Lauper, Patti Smith, Bonnie Raitt, Kate Bush, Marianne Faithfull, Jefferson Airplane, etc. Last edited by goldustsongbird; 11-20-2006 at 03:04 PM..
