The rise and fall of musical genres

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.

So I'm assuming you don't like any of those artists/genres?
