My dad is pretty open. He has tried as long as I can remember to get me to listen to Bob Dylan, The (Early) Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, and the Beatles (he still does, except for the beatles). Knows a lot about rock music before the 90's but still likes maybe 70-80% of what's on the mix CD'S I play in the car.
My mom is pretty unknown to me. I know she at least likes Exit Music (For a Film) by Radiohead and You are Never Alone by Socalled. Might have grown a distaste of Muse.
For my friends it's pretty varied. Nothing really bad about it at all, not that I care what they like in music*.

That was the same thing my dad said last year after I showed him the Teignmouth concert recording.
But then I just played KoC again later and he started to get into them. Weird.
