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. |

i remember the first tape i ever worn out, it was the mortal kombat soundtrack |

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. |

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. |

electic = eclectic |

why do we always end each other's threads, Bryan? |

for qrter/ecnadniarb: the use of always in that sentence may vary slightly from every thread we made. |

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... |

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. |
