Music your parents forced you to listen to

[furie]

My mother doesn't really listen to music, but my father played two types of music: irish folk and opera. All day and all night. he still has a staack of 8-tracks of the wolfetones.

My dad used to (and still does) watch movies from the 30's, 40's, and 50's, and you know how practically every one of them had somebody singing. Ugh...so corny and overacted.

A lot of Beatles, Peter Paul and Mary (Puff the Magic Dragon, bitches!) and loads of classical music. My mom listened to contemporary music.

I remember looking through my moms cds when i was around 8 or 9, i saw John Secada, The Beatles, George Michael, Amy Grant Christmas cds but i know she loved Eric Clapton/Derek & the Dominoes. Layla was always blasting in the house on cleaning day,

The only thing i remember my dad listening to was Pink Floyd.

[walking joint]

my dad would play Irish music all the time. i hated it growing up, but now really like it...probably because i don't have to hear it nearly as much anymore. a bunch of it is the same songs i've heard for years and now know all the lyrics to.

My parents were big Mitch Miller fans. And Sinatra fans. They had one Carpenters' album. That's as hard rock as they ever got.

My dad made me listen to so much stuff that I didn't want to hear as a kid it's unreal.


Big Band Swing (Glenn Miller, Andrews Sisters, Tex Beneke etc.), Dixieland Jazz like Leon Redbone, Old Country (Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton etc.), Bluegrass stuff from Earl Scruggs, Frank Sinatra, Louis Prima and Sam Butera, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, a whole juke box full of every 50's doo-wop group on 45's, Elvis Presley and some stuff I'm probably leaving out.

Ugh I hated it.




Then I grew up.

And I can't be more thankful.

I thought you liked Johnny Cash.

And there's nothing wrong with Patsy Cline. She rocks.

My parents were cool in the 60s as they handed me down most of their Beatles/Beach Boys/Stones 45s and albums.

Then came the 70s. My Dad was always on the road working and so I was subjected to Mom's music -- which meant she started getting into the softer sounds: Jim Croce, Loggins and Messina, John Denver, The Carpenters, Barry Manilow.

However she redeemed herself from time to time. Case in point, the purchase of Stevie Wonder's "Songs in The Key of Life" and several Spinners and Earth Wind and Fire albums.

[Freakshow]

my parents had pretty decent musical tastes:

Dad: Beatles, Cream, Neil Young, Foreigner, Elvis Costello, Elton John (70's), CCR, Fleetwood Mac, Dylan
Some of the things he listened to I never really got into, though: Nilsson, John Prine, the Byrds

Mom: Neil Young, Van Morrison, Meatloaf, Elton John, Hall and Oates (mostly cause Daryl Hall was from Pottstown) and some 50's stuff that I can't remember

My dad's music was the dominant one, though.

I like this topic. My parents listen to a little of everything. Basically, what Skidmark said. I didn't like some of it growing up, but am very grateful I was exposed to such a variety of music.



Hall and Oates (mostly cause Daryl Hall was from Pottstown)

As in Pottstown, PA? HA! I've been there many times, more specifically to the Hill School. I went to an all girls Catholic school so they had to bus guys to our dances and we got bussed to the Hill dances. Ahh, the memories.

John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band.


My dad saw them live. And he also saw James Brown live and in the parking lot was about to get the shit kicked out of him for being white. Then a black guy stepped and said, settle down fella's he just wants to enjoy the music.

3 Dog Night and oldies. I love me some oldies, but cant stand 3 dog night. Though Jeremiah was indeed a bullfrog, and was a good friend of mine. I never understood a single word he said, but I helped him drink his wine. And he surely had some mighty fine wine.

Yeah, Pottstown, PA. My mom is from just outside of there--Royersford. I think she may have actually gone to sunday school with Daryl Hall. I've only been there a couple of times, though.

You can not imagin how old that made me feel. The fact that your mom had C.D.'s!

Joe Cocker was on the record player with the arm off. (For you yougens, if the arm was off, the record would play over and over and over.....)

[IamFogHat]

My parents had good tastes in music; I've been hearing all my life that rock n' roll is something to piss your parents off, but we always bonded over it.

The Dude abides

[Bulldogcakes]

At this point, my parents music doesn't bother me anymore. I even listen to some stuff GRANDPA listened to, like louie armstrong. Every era has it's well written, timeless music and it's horrible crap. There is a charm and romance to old music you just dont find today. Most modern love songs sound like men whining. Listen to Sinatra sing a love song. Never sounds like a pussy.
(His best stuff is 50's-mid 60's. Before and after he has his share of crap)
