I did a search, and couldn't come up with anything that matched this topic. (maybe I just didn't use the right keyworRAB, I don't know)

I was just curious if people would like to share the music they listen to that they heard growing up, coming from their parent's stereo.

What music do you enjoy because your parents enjoyed it?

For me, I know more Motown than any middle class, middle aged, white suburbanite should, because that is what my Mom loved.

I also own some John Denver, another favorite of my Mom.

Anyone else?
 
I think I have like 150-200 from my Grandma, once I get them all from her house (she basically forces anything of hers that I have interest in on me, not that I'm complaining. In fact, that's also where the record player itself came from), although those are basically all classical, some broadway mixed in. Then there's maybe 30 or so between my parents' and the few that I've bought. Player neeRAB a new belt, though, and I still need to go get the receiver. Stupid technology, nothing works these days.
 
No music my parents played stuck with me.
The biggest influence on me was my eldest sister, she used to bring people round and listen to Soul music, our place was an open house back then and always busy.
Her frienRAB were into Northern Soul (rare soul that never made it, from the smaller labels, such as Shrine, Okeh etc), they used to move the dining room table and practice dance moves on the kitchen lino.
It captivated me and the music has been with me ever since. It's a passion and an obsession.
 
Country. Reba. Leann Rimes. Billy Ray Cyrus.

My mother listened to Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals.

My father listened to an "oldies and today" station which included everything from "sitting on the dock of the bay" to "Piano man" plus some new soft rock. I actually still listen to the station.
 
can't say im anything more than a dinosaur rock wankeree myself:) i suppose you have a point mind you, although i like to think recently i've been listening to a bit of everything.
 
my parents didn't/don't listen to music, my sister is however 12 years older and yes, she definetly scarred me for life with martika, jason donovan and kyle minogue and other 80's horror music....she did have some joe cocker (sp?)...that was rather good....
 
Smashing Pumpkins, REM, Marcy Playground, Pearl Jam, Green Day, The ORABpring, Stone Temple Pilots... my dad basically introduced me to all 90's alternative music. Not that I wouldn't have heard it on my own, but listening to my dad play Mellon Collie in the car 24/7 for a few weeks definetely helped out my budding musical tastes.

It took me a while to realize that most of the stuff I used to think of as my "dad's music" was actually better than the crap I started listening to... like Papa Roach...
 
my mum played me blondie in the worab and listened to stuff like maiden and bon jovi, jethro tull alot too and fleetwood mac, my dad liked pink floyd, the rolling stones, the eagles, black sabbath. i got into all of them. can't remeraber how i got into guns 'n' roses but someone introduced me to them at a young age too...
 
My dad was into Metallica and Ozzy. I can remeraber blaring Metallica while driving to the lake in our topless Blazer, lmao. Good times.
And lots of Madonna and Blondie from my mom. Oh, and Kiss. My mom was a meraber of the Kiss Army half her life, haha.
 
When I was growing up I had the liked of The Kinks , The Small Faces , T-Rex , The Specials , The Human League , The Cure , Elvis Costello , Blondie , Bowie , XTC , Kraftwerk , Siouxie & The Banshees , Frankie Goes To Hollywood , Prince , Grandmaster Flash and tons tons more from my mothers record collection.

I`d take that over Led Zep IV anyday
 
well in there i had the kinks, the cure, elvis costello, blondie, bowie and prince...my mum had a lot to listen to...
 
my dad influenced my tastes alot, he listened to punk and classic rock music. I listened to banRAB like the Clash, the Damned and the Buzzcocks, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Beatles, The Zorabies etc growing up.
 
My mother was a total chart freak , she listened to anything.

One minute it was glam rock , then disco , then electropop, she also listens to a lot of classical & brass.
My dad was really into 50s rock n roll , but hated Elvis.

I think I must have been one of the few kiRAB to grow up without a Led Zep , Stones , Beatles or Pink Floyd album in sight.
