Shit loads of classical music. They also bought me those
'Anne Raclin' tapes which have a particular piece of
classical music and Anne tells the story attached to it. I
still have them in the attic somewhere. Also a fair amount
of Jazz both instrumental and sung. We have a rather large
record collection passed down from previous generations.

Beatles, and old pop/rock mostly.
Some new pop/rock.
My father listened to some synth and newage stuff (like
Vangelis). I think that made an impression on me (I liked
it)...

Genesys, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Enya, Vivaldi, The
Beatles....

It was pretty fucked up at my house, I used to hide in the
corner with my pinky and perky records, maybe throw in a bit
of Jive Bunny for good mesure

Oh and Tangerine Dream. I loved those records when I was 5!
I even bought Rubycon on CD a couple of years ago, when I
recognised the cover. Man what a flashback it was when I put
it on. We had 2 more albums, I know Phaedra was one.

my parents were divorced, so in my dad's house/car he played
peter gabriel, dark side of the moon, prince, twin peaks,
alot of classical. He lived in an A-frame out in the
woods-it was badass. He had some nice speakers and would
play "lets go crazy" by prince and alot of the police.

My mom's side has 3 generations of drummers (including my
older brother) so they like alot of jazz, blues, and rock.

lots of classical and opera... which i'm not really fond of

i don't like this music that much.

but my father also introduced me to Peter Gabriel and Frank
Zappa, which is good. : )

Father: Classic rock, some blues, and jazz. Moreso
classic rock then, than now. Now that he's getting older,
he's settling into jazz and actually some stuff the I've
lent him (Phoenecia, Tortoise, some stuff out of my personal
jazz coll.)

Mother: She has always liked Fleetwood Mac, other than that,
I'm not too sure about what she listened to when I was a
kid. Now she likes "relaxing" music, and really awful
christian music.

Oh, they both liked Queen back then, so that was great,
being turned onto them at an early age.

Music I didn't ilke.

My dad played a lot of jazz and blues. Miles Davis, Herbie
Hancock, and a bunch of others I can't remember. He also
had a bunch of records from the 60s and 70s, including a lot
of pink floyd, but he never played those. He also played a
lot of classical

My mom never played much music. She liked old love songs,
like from the 50s.

no music, which gave me a clean slate to work with. that's
why i discovered and got into so many different types of
music, i wasn't predisposed to anything. i got into rock
because the white kids i was friends with were starting to
get into it. i got into hip-hop because the black kids i
knew loved it (well the stuff they heard on the radio or
from their older brother anyway). i got into techno because
of hearing it in movies and thinking it sounded cool. no one
ever told me it sucked so i didn't have any prejudice coming
into it. and because i liked many different types of music
at a young age (12) i latched onto more academic/scholarly
music because music interested me and i enjoy anything
that's creative and unique. now i listen to basically every
type of music. so that's my story. the moral is to not
instill any one kind of music on your kids if and when you
have them..

my dad listened to mainly oldies - beatles, led zeppelin,
deep purple and such - but he also listened to country but
really old and really new (no johnny cash though) he instead
listened to this guy named Gary Stewart that always sung
with the grace of a dying dog - and my dad always cranked it
to full volume.

my mom listened to pretty much everything - that's probably
where i got my taste from. my sister had good taste in
music, listening to The Cure and Nirvana mainly, with some
Toadies and Blind Melon and occasionally some Guns N' Roses
(Use your illusion).

My stepmom listened to 80s tunes like the Cars and Guns n'
Roses, and she also listened to country. Ick.

i played my own music when i was a kid. i was fortunate
enough to have my own record player and loads of records
from the age of about 5. when i was older (about 8 or 9) id
get a record every week if i didnt fuck around whilst going
shopping. its amazing how bribery can work so well :)

apparently some of my favourites were

hung on you by the righteuos brothers
bullmoose by bobby darin
teen beat by sandy nelson
rocking goose by johnny & the hurricanes
on the rebound by floyd cramer
the frightened city by the shadows
tales of braye ulysees by cream
the sun goes down by dave dee dozy beaky mick & tich
reflections from the looking glass by 1910 fruitgum company

ie mostly b-sides, mostly old 60s instrumentals or mostly
whacked out shit. so not much has changed really.

unfortunately when you're 5 years old the concept of looking
after vinyl has little or no grasp so i've spent a fortune
trying to replace these now rather difficult to find records
but they sound as good as they ever did.

My mom listened to Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, New
Order, The Clash, Billy Idol (blech), Pink Floyd, the
standard issue classic rock (and not to classic because some
of it would have been contemporary at the time) rebellious
teens get into. But like I said before in a similar topic,
she's really lost her passion for music now, she likes...
anything but loves nothing.

music. Used to do those aerobics classes things and play
bobbie brown and really early hiphop/dance stuff.

dad: guitar stuff like satriani and that...also a lot of
funk stuff. But he played me a lot of art of noise. they
freaked me out.
