Ah yes, the clan......
No one in my family was musically inclined, can't remember anyone ever buying any albums or tapes.
My mom and my aunt would absentmindedly listen to a radio station that played a mix of Austrian folk (country....) music and 'soft hits' by crooners - European and other, such as Streisand, Sinatra, Crosby, Peter Alexander, Udo Jürgens, etc. etc. etc.
My uncle would also listen to opera, but he wasn't a huge fan who had to go to the opera all the time.
My dad's musical tastes can be described as follows: If it's not Mozart, it's crap, if it's not classical, it's double crap and if it's from England or the US, it's crap to the 10th power.
