What music did your parent(s) listen to? Just a curio

[Petra]

Dad: Country

Mom: soft rock and country

Somehow this has done enough damage to me since my taste is more towards goth and metal.

My parents listened to a lot of soul and funk : Earth, Wind & Fire, Commodores, Temptations, [NOBABE]Sam Cooke[/NOBABE], Stevie Wonder.

But I remember a lot of Parliament Funkadelic though so much that i got in trouble because the first song I sung was "Get Off Your Ass and Jam"

 

[Cpt.Obvious]

Lawrence Welk, Nat King Cole, Rosemary Clooney, and a nightmarish polka group, the mom and dads, and thank you for bringing back some painful memories.
Thank the Gods I had the Beatles and Zeppelin.

Let's see... My mom listened to a lot of Hispanic troubadours, like Joan Manuel Serrat, Jose Luis Rodriguez, and Victor Iturbide. She listened to a few other things, but that was mostly what I remember.

My dad listened to a lot of classical music, soft rock, and some big band. Mantovani, Bert Kaempfert, Neil Diamond, Frank Sinatra, and Elton John were pretty standard for him. He used to stand in the living room when he thought no one was watching and pretend to direct an orchestra while he listened to his music. Then, when he sensed someone else had walked in the room, he would get startled and pretend like he was in the middle of doing something else. :1orglaugh

Oh, they both listened to The Beatles and Abba. Oh, dawg, how I used to hate those groups!

Mother: 70s/80s pop music (Abba, David Bowie, Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Elton John etc).
Father: Frank Sinatra and other "Rat pack" members are basically all I ever heard him listen to.

Most of the time I don't care who's watching... I like to "direct". :tongue:
