Anything specific?
What music did your parents listen to? Or still listen too?
My mother hasn't been an avid music fan per se. Growing up she didn't have a record / cassette collection at all. I do recall her stating that she was a Doors fan in her youth, and.. she saw Tina Turner live on a whim back in the day. She said she liked Guns'n'Roses "Sweet Child of Mine" when that was a thing. She HATES most cliched, country music fluff tho. She likes Pavarotti & admires opera singers. hmm... She might hum along to random Christian jams. She's not a prude, but was raised going to church. She might like some ass kickin, soul / gospel music tho, for the party factor. heh. For somebody who grew up in the 1960's into adulthood into the 70's, she finds vintage music a bit funny, or comical considering a lot of it she was forced to listen to, or stuck in front of the tv as a child when she would visit her grandparents, lol. Old time country music, 1950's / 60's pop music and such is quite humorous for her. It is hard to gauge what Momsie would put on a mix tape. These days, she watches The Voice tho, and maybe the odd American Idol... but once again, nothing too specific.
As an aside, my mother got annoyed when I played the De La Soul "Say No Go" 12" over and over again, and UK Subs that I remember. Skinny Puppy freaked her out as my brother & I would watch the Skinny Puppy live VHS tape quite a bit. ha.
I wasn't raised with my dad, but I do assume he was into the standard rock, classic rock, and even country music in his youth. My father was a bit younger than my mother. My only specific musical memory of my dad is me being.. 4 yrs old, sitting on the opposite passenger side in a truck alone with him, and he was FURIOUSLY lip syncing to The Archies "Sugar Sugar" while I stared at him. I was honestly thinking '... wtf???" LOL. No joke. I thought he was retarded. True story. I do recall at that young of age, I had already formulated that The Eagles were horribly depressing from spending time with my dad lol.
You?
