and i dont mean preference, i mean the music you were
around, what your parents listening to in the house when you
were playing video games, etc.

mine was

alanis morrisette - jagged little pill
counting crows - august and everything after
barenaked ladies - rock spectacle
Evita soundtrack
Bellafonte live at carnagie hall
prince - purple rain
paul simon - graceland

and mine was

our lady peace - naveed
bush - 16 stone
pearl jam - ten
prodigy - fat of the land
(and mostly just the music in my video games)

My mom listened to a lot of, well... '80s. Billy Idol,
Michael Jackson, Prince, Depeche Mode, Cyndi Lauper, etc.
Also some '70s classic rock, a bit of '60s... one of my
earliest memories, period, is looking through her records
and really taking a liking to the cover of Queen's ''A Night
at the Opera''... it was so white and pure, but she
scribbled stuff all over it in pencil. The cover of Sgt.
Pepper is also a hard thing to forget.

I mostly listened to what she listened to... and movie
soundtracks. The first two Ninja Turtles movies, I wore
those tapes out. And Transformers.

as a kid I liked these tapes, which were listened by my
parents: ABBA 'Super Trouper', Fausto Papetti '33a
Raccolta', James Last 'Seduction', Adriano Celentano "Un Peu
Artista Un Po'no". We lived in a small ukrainian village
then and having that kind of tapes, along with a Toshiba
tape recorder was cool:) Parents bought all that while their
trip to Syria a long-long time ago..

some years later I listened to soviet group 'Kino'
('Cinema') which is an object of a big cult still, after the
frontmans death 11 years ago. That was because of my
brothers influence, as well as Roxette from Sweden who suck
now a lot as for me; Queen, ABBA again, later appeared Koto
- I still like his 'plays synthesizer world hits' oh
whatever it is called, though don't have a single record by
him.

Then I started to by tapes myself, bying often what I didn't
like. These were German techno groupies like... I'm
ashamed... won't tell. Then appeared Prodigy and bla bla bla
Chemical Brothers, but I wasn't kid anymore.

By the way, I used to record music under name 'KiD' for some
time.

i didn't really start listening to music until 7th or 8th
grade... until then it was just the shitty adult
contemporary radio stations that my mom played while she was
vacuuming or whatever.

I do remember having a chuck berry cassette, and i liked my
grandfathers old country western stuff; tex williams,
tennessee ernie ford, and the likes.

nothing, or almost...

my parents used to play classical and opera mostly, plus a
few belgian singers, sometimes jazz

i got my first cd when i was 9, a Jan Garbarek one but i had
to wait years to hear it... then my next cds were when i was
13 or something, Peter Gabriel and Jamiroquai... then i got
into a phase when i was listening to some stuff i'm too
ashamed to put here...

My dad used to listen to all sorts of stuff as he used to
own a stereo store in the late 60s early 70s. When I was a
kid I played his Tangerine Dream, Mike Oldfield, Premiata
Forneria Marconi and The Moody Blues. I guess this is where
my taste for experimental electronic music came from.

The first single I bought was ABBA's Super Trooper and the
first Album was Adam Ant's Kings of the Wild Frontier.

I hope to give my son a similar electic choice.

when i first started getting into music it was all smashing

thing now.

i think drunken mastah's parents had wicked taste...

my parents back in tha day:
Sting, the Nylons, Opera, orchestral classical (mostly
beethoven and tchaikovsky), dave brubeck, miles davis, old
funk-soul, some 70's and 80's rock like Stevie Winwood, Huey
Lewis and the News, Alan Parsons, Tears for Fears, Paul
Simon, etc.

me back in tha day:
i used to have several of those "classical kids" tapes,
where there would some story of a composer or his works,
that went on with the music playing throughout,the first
music i ever got into as a child was probably the Nylons and
Sting... although i fondly remember my dad's huey lewis
stuff from early on too... the first two tapes i ever got
were by the nylons and the earthtones (which was this shitty
canadian accapella band that went on tour with the
nylons)... then i kind of didn't listen to much for a year,
and then i bought u2's Zooropa... some other tapes i bought
shortly after: Soul Asylum (the one with Runaway train on
it), Lenny Kravitz (the one with Are You Gonna Go My Way on
it), Achtung Baby, Sting, and other stuff that i am really
having trouble remembering now... then in grade 6 i heard
wonderwall one day at lunch in my grade 6 class and i
started making mixtapes... most of the time i was dubbing
stuff straight from muchmusic by holding my shitty tape
player right up to the television when i heard a song that i
liked... this is getting quite long now, though... i think
i'll end there...

Er:

Womb to 4ish = My mum's taste... bebop jazz, steely dan,
tangerine dream and simon & garfunkel amongst other
things... apparently i went to see an art blakey concert
whilst i was still in the womb :-)

4 - 9 or so = Rubbish pop, on the theme of chart-based
cheesy hardcore stuff apparently (black box - ride on time
etc)

10 - 13ish = My britpop phase... manic street preachers,
blur, mid-90s pulp, and an unhealthy obsession with nirvana
(ANGST)

14 - 15 = Introduction to electronic music, orbital and
aphex et al.

16+ = Investigating more "avant-garde" (shudder) things, and
starting to get into making my own stuff.

Yeh.

i was into a lot of stuff my dad was into up until i was 12
or something when i started getting into metallica, nin,
etc

dad:
the shadows
deep purple
status quo
and also he was in a band so i used to like hearing him
practice and such

mum:
suzi quatro
zz top
g'n'r

neither of my parents were really into beatles or elvis or
any of those similar, they had appreciation for them but
they were more into the rock/heavy metal side of things,
which got me into heavy stuff, which indirectly got me into
electronic music..
i kinda got into 'alternative' music when i saw metallica
'the memory remains' and prodigy 'breathe' on a music video
show, so that was the start for me pretty much.. it was 1996
so i was like 12

mom and dad played lots of classical music

and my mom liked some pop-ish stuff. Enya, Sade, Clannad,
Sting, Phil Collins

dad played Crash Test Dummies and Elton John

My first few cassette tape purchases were shameful and
included such knockouts as DC Talk and Clint Black.
