Do you think the type of music you heard at home (played by your parents as you were growing up) has influenced your taste in music?

but maybe that's why you hate it  . I don't see how what music anyone hears whilst growing up couldn't affect their tastes in later life, at least to some degree. After all, what other points of reference do we have?

No! Bing Crosby and Jim Reeves? Give me a break. My parents hated my music and I hated theirs. My 16 year old son and I also generally have different tastes but we both like Runrig and Metallica (and Kicking Valentino - his band!). Surely it's a generation thing, not to like the same music as your parents. |

But my real taste in music is in space rock/psychedelic prog rock, which I started to develop due to those bands that my parents introduced me to. |

My dad listened to alot of classic rock so i was always fimiliar with
it, but my mom ALWAYS listened to country music, drove me nuts until i
eventually grew a tolerance, its like the part of my brain that hears
country music has died. Though my mom did have good taste back in the 70's , she even recommended ELP to me. -------------

hmmm, somewhat yes, and somewhat no. my dad listened to a lot of classic rock, but only some of it was good now as I recall, and my mom listened to nothing but Billy Joel. One of my formative musical experiences as a child, though, was when I stole my dad's Crash Test Dummies cassette and never gave it back. that album is still awesome. However, i think my music taste is my own and no one else's. It has a bit to do with what I heard growing up, but I wasnt force fed anything. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

Oh yes it has. Very much. Without my parents' albums, I would probably
still be that god damn Linkin Park-fan. (DON'T HIT ME! It was a long
time ago... Fortunately.) I've always had a weird taste of music. I was
listening to some of those MTV-sellout bands (well, not the worst ones,
but I believe Linkin Park is a good example), but I also liked bands
like Eagles and Neil Young, thanks to my Dad and his albums. But I'm glad I was awekened for about two years ago! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Phoenix_/?chartstyle=RecordArmMonochrome">

Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood Claude King Johnny Cash & June Carter Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass Gary Puckett & the Union Gap The Righteous Brothers Petula Clark The Beach Boys Bobby Vinton Tom Jones Roger Miller Hank Williams Woody Guthrie Robert Goulet Lawrence Welk Englebert Humperdink Elvis The Dave Clark Five Johnny Rivers Nope, guess not. I will say that Johnny Cash stood the test of time though, and Roger Miller was actually a pretty interesting human being. I still love a lot of Woodie Guthrie's music. My sons all listen to some of the same stuff I do though - Kansas, Yes, Genesis, Alan Parsons, Floyd, Ayreon, Asia, and some newer stuff like Fates Warning, Azure Ray, Gordian Knot, Mostly Autumn, Opeth, lots more. One of my kids even contributes from time to time on this forum (bet you can't figure out who he is - no fair checking IP's if you're an admin ------------- "Peace is the only battle worth waging." Albert Camus |
). His band is even has some tunes that sound a lot like Uriah Heep. So I guess it's possible to influence your kid's musical tastes somewhat. It's actually pretty easy - just expose them to great music, and they're liable to dig at least some of itPosted By: memowakeman

| I wasn't influenced by my parents' taste in music at all - my Dad liked classical and my Mum liked Johnny Mathis. Most of my taste in music comes from my sisters, who liked The Beatles in the 60s and got me into prog by bringing home Genesis and BJH albums. |

My fathers used to listen a lot of Beatles, MPB (brazilian folk music) and some erudite music, mainly romantic. Although what really caught me to rock was the Pink Floyd (discovered by myself), I love the Beatles and listen classical music to this day, but more baroque than romantic. So I think they have a influence in my musical taste, but not determine it. |

Yes, because I was exposed to many different genres (rock, including
prog, jazz, blues, classical etc.) and bands at a very young age, so at
least it made me open-minded towards all music. My parents like prog,
but are not into it as heavily as I am. However, I discovered prog with
a little help from my friend , and my parents had nothing to do with that. But I'm sure the stuff they listened to had a big impact on me. -------------

I don't ever remember my dad showing even the slightest interest in music as I was growing up. I know he hated the stuff I was listening to. My mom, on the other hand, was pretty cool for someone born in the 1930s. She totally supported my musical interests, got my dad to buy me a drum set (which I couldn't play when he was home), & bought me a lot of records. First single: Satisfaction by the Stones. First Real Album: Wheels of Fire by Cream (before that, it was the Monkees). She loved CCR, The Allman Brothers, & Uriah Heep. She even listened to our Grand Funk & Black Sabbath records! So to answer your question, No & Yes. ------------- David - Never doubt in the dark that which you believe to be true in the light. http://www.myspace.com/aardvarktxusa - Instrumental rock http://www.soundclick.com/aardvarktxusa |

Nope. Although the only three rock albums my dad owned while I was growing up were Sgt Pepper, Revolver, and the 2nd Blood, Sweat & Tears, which are all now in my collection too. But I went a bit beyond that. Now, He loves a lot of the prog I play him, I even got my mom into Dark Side, and she only listens to showtunes. So I guess you could kind of say it was the other way around in my case... ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nipsey88/?chartstyle=myspace02" rel="nofollow">

My mom used to listen to Nana Mouskouri and Doris Day. So no. My dad listened to Beatles a lot, but always urged me to listen to a lot of different kinds of music. I remember one time he came storming into my room when I played Machine Gun by Saxon. I thought he was gonna come to take my head of but no, he said he liked it !!! Around 14, 15 years old I was friends with a guy who was a few years older than me, he introduced me to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Robin Trower, Jimi Hendrix and stuff. |
