Yes, you read that correctly. What are your parents into, musically?
Three base questions for this thread, the last being strictly optional/situational:
1. Do you share any similarities when it comes to musical taste?
2. What are some artists you have introduced your parents to, or that they have introduced to you (but both ended up actually liking)?
3. If your parents have passed on, what are some songs/artists that remind you of their time on earth?
Since I am still relatively young, both my parents are still alive. My mother is a born-again Christian so she's very heavily into Christian music. My dad, who knows his way around the guitar, is a rock n' roll addict to the core.
1. My mother and I share a little common ground: 60s girl groups, and obscure 70s songs. Though, with her, it has to be catchy, and not too heavy. Catchy and melodic, or reminiscent of her childhood. With my dad, we share a lot of common ground. Fast, heavy guitars, bass-heavy masterpieces, etc. He's the reason I'm able to love the Ronettes and KISS at the same time.
2. I'm always finding little ditties from the 60s to show my mother. Sometimes she remembers these things vaguely, and sometimes she's just totally mind-blowing and ends up spending an hour on Youtube just because of me. I've never directly influenced my dad, though, but something tells me he'd love to thumb through my LPs. On the other hand, my mother indirectly got me hooked on bands like the 1910 Fruitgum Co. as well as 80s ladies like Pat Benatar and the Go-Go's.
So tell us your stories.
Does the apple really not fall that far from the tree? ;D
