My mom has mostly crappy taste but mi padre basically started my love of music and we continue to talk about it together all the time. He really has great taste except for occasionally when he gets turned on to some modern pop that I have to explain to him is not good.

I grew up hearing almost nothing but classical, baroque, opera, and ABBA (all of which I still like, by the way) in the house or my parents' cars. Luckily, around age 10, my parents let me start bringing home whatever music of my own and play it on their system. They got me my own stereo pretty quickly.

My parents like Led Zeppelin. Which was the first band I ever really paid attention to. Beyond that they think I'm weird for liking the kinds of music I like.

My mom doesnt listen to music ever, I have no idea how she does it, she loves to read but thinks any type of music is just a bunch of noise. My dad, thankfuly, enjoys music, he listens to the Rolling Stones, CCR, BTO, Bon Jovi, stuff like that so, I would say he's still with it, hahah, he likes any type of good ol' rock n roll, its hillarious sometimes when Im over at his house hes got the music pumped and hes singin along, he cracks me up.

My mom and stepdad, I can't say I share their taste in music all, my mom is real big on hair metal, post grunge stuff and Hall & Oates. Mom does like some good stuff though, she likes Janis Joplin and Rick James so points earned for that.

My dad is a classic rocker, but unlike most people here I can't really complain about that because I pretty much am one myself.

Dad likes Bob Dylan which is pretty cool, but he also likes Bob Dylan's shitty henchmen, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, and lately he's into Billy Joe Shaver and it's really annoying hearing him sing his songs. He does enjoy The Clash however, and I burn CDs of my music and he has liked to some of it.

My mom's taste is pretty crappy, she likes 80's pop/rock like Bryan Adams, and she absolutely adores when my brother sings Coldplay and Jason Mraz songs on guitar. At least she tells my dad to cut it out when she gets sick of him playing Billy Joe Shaver songs.

And neither of them can tolerate music with screaming, so automatic fail right there.

me and my dad tend to like the same type of music my mom not so much

both of my parents enjoy Bachata and Merengue(look them up), and they used to play it ALL THE TIME when i was younger. back then i hated it, but now i enjoy it and i'm trying to cop some of their CDs for my computer, haha.

other than that, my mom mostly enjoys soft rock and older soul and r&b, which fostered my love for the genres as we used to listen to them on the radio on long car rides. my dad sticks mainly to Bachata and Merengue, but also listens to spanish singers who are accompanied by full bands, orchestras, and the like and sing operatic stuff.

as for my music, my parents like it sometimes, they even like my band , but they're not into the heavy stuff. i'll usually put the headphones on when they're around.

I think I'm into the acoustic music I'm into because of my dad. The other day I thought, hey I'll introduce him to some Nick Drake, because I thought he wouldn't of known him, but as I put it on he was like "oh yeah, I knew of him before he died." I flipped out in a good way, haha.

Some of my earliest memories are of him playing 'Father and Son' by Cat Stevens to me on his acoustic guitar, which is an absolutely great song by the way, and a totally kick ass thing for a dad to sing to his son. He really likes Jackson Browne and all that classic stuff, really into the singer songwriter movement. My dad was in a ****ton of bands in the 80s in the local music scene, and he told me my first favorite song was actually 'Jeremy' by Peal Jam, and I used to call it 'Spoken'.

Around my middle school age my mom got me into classic rock because she bought that two disc Led Zeppelin DVD. Before that I was in a Linkin Park phase but that snapped me out of it like a slap in the face. I was like 'who is that guy with the violin bow on his guitar!!!! zomggg'

When I was little my mom would play the 'Jagged Little Pill' album by Alanis Morissete. I listened to it again recently and I've forgotten how great the lyrics are. Like a female Leonard Cohen or something.

That led(haha get it? high five!) into The Beatles and I was obsessed with them for a while, which my parents loved.

Our musical tastes diverged though, as soon as I bought that first Velvet Underground disc. Then I started telling them I'd rather not listen to Rush, I'd rather listen to other stuff, and when I put that in, their ears hurt. Then I found out about this site and the Pitchfork lists, and well, the rest is sort of history for my musical tastes.
