sibling's music taste
 

first I asked you about the music taste of yr parents, now what kind of music do your brother(s) or sister(s) listen to?

My little brother isat that 70's-80's metal and hard rock stage (as in he listens to Guns N Roses, Led Zeppelin and AC/DC). He is teaching himself the guitar track to Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive" as we
speak.

I honestly have no idea what my older brother listens to. He used to listen to lots of techno and used to be a fan of Eminem, but he isn't much of a music person anyway.

my little brother who is 12 listens to the same music as i . i guess you could say i influenced him or whatever. we sometimes jam together.

my older sister's music taste however is atrocious and i hate it. it's like the kind of mainstream shit that plays on the OC. (shame on her)

my younger sister who is only 6 does not yet listen to music. but will often sing along with the occasional violent femems in the car.

uh. whatever is cool on the "scene" at that time. went from "emo" to "Screamo" to "hardcore" to "hip-hop". so hip-hop at this time.

I have no siblings.

My 11 year old brother likes: Metallica, Beatles, RHCP, Korn, and UFO.
But I forgive him.

ufo were awesome!!

don't have.

My elder brothers introduced me to:
The Velvet Underground
Neil Young
Patti Smith
David Bowie
Kraftwerk
The Byrds
Led Zeppelin
Iron Maiden
Flaming Groovies
Sex Pistols
PIL
Fairport Convention

So many i can't possibly list them all on here.

My sister:
Housemartins
The Charlatans

My sister:
The Doors
Ani Difranco
Tori Amos
YES
Led Zeppelin
Janis Joplin
Jimi Hendrix

My sis likes the 90s rock stuff (Pearl Jam and the like).. and a lot of 'hit music'.

Yeah, I got some neat Lp's by them at home. I digged them for awhile, but now I tend to get bored.

My 40-year-old brother, 10 years younger than me, is much more into classic rock, not very much into SY or other more alternative things. He was a little in the early 90s, when Nirvana broke, but mostly because I was into it. Then we kind of parted musical paths. He's all Springsteen and Dylan and Neil Young and the Beatles these days.

ain't nothin wrong with neil young. the others i honestly don't care for.

My brother (13) listens to AC/DC, random heavy metal/hardcore stuff, Weezer, Beatles, and some other random stuff. Basically just whatever his friends listen to. Still hasn't shown any interest in alternative stuff.

Nothing wrong with Dylan either, seeing's how I recently paid more than 20 bucks for my second copy of Blonde on Blonde. But Springsteen and the Beatles can kiss my ass...

My Brother: Terrible rap music and anything else that's terrible. Try Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Fifty Cent, anything that is shit really he'll listen to.

My Sister: Shit once again. Crappy Jr. High pUnK rAwK.

My oldest brother, who is 15, only likes Nirvana and The Ramones as far as rock music goes. Everything else is rap and hip-hop, particularly Kanye West.

The middle brother (14) only listens to Def Leppard and the soundtrack to the Hitchhiker's Guide movie. And songs from Mulan, and church. Mostly he likes to hear himself sing.

My youngest brother (10) will listen to anything he hears played on any of the anime shows he watches.

My brother is largely responsible for me liking the music I do. I shared a room with him & was forced to listen to Sex Pistols, Joy Division, PiL etc. which I hated at first then grew to love (that was about 1979).

He now listens almost exclusively to world music & writes for

 

My Sister intoduced me to the wonders of Take That, Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson and a lot of mid-90's hip-hop (Gangstarr anyone?), as well as a lot of gay 80's stuff (especially Erasure).

My Brother caused me to listen to lots and lots of British punk from when I was about 7 or so, and consequently caused me to be bored of punk by the age most people are starting to hear the Pistols or The Clash. Apart from the Slits, I haven't retained much of that side of things. His reggae collection was swallowed into mine about the time he threw out his record player.

I'm quite lucky to have a ten year gap between me and my siblings.

My sister is is six years older than me (she's 45), and grew up in the early 70s with Bay City Rollers, Osmonds, David Cassidy, etc. She's never really improved upon that standard really. Theres no crossover at all between her taste and mine. I think she wanted a Sealion Dion CD for Christmas last year. I refused.

I always encourage my 14 year old niece to bring her Sugababes CDs with her when I drive her anywhere though.

My sister: Psychobilly, Psychobilly Psychobilly...mainly The Meteors but other stuff too. She turned me onto a lot of great old school punk and hardcore stuff. Has soft spot for some goth and 80's garbo.

My brother: eclectic as a mother....everywhere...jazz, indie, brazilian, spanish guitar, blues, and reggae...

I've learned a lot from them both and my folks.

Let's not go there.

My younger brother who is 10 listens to Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Chicago, Tower of Power, Marvin Gaye, Chuck Mangione and a bunch of other stuff like that.

hah... classy?

Haha. That's kind of impressive.

Where is the 'Music that you nieces and nephews introduced you to' thread?There would be a lot of hip hop,r&b,metal and,of all people,Alice Coltrane there!!!

haha... SASSY!

my older brother (22) was a member of the old board (he was cargocombi) and is the one who introduced my to SY (as well as countless other bands: Lightning Bolt, My Bloody Valentine, Sleater-Kinney, etc.). he and i share a lot of musical tastes, but i tend to enjoy more hard rock than he does (i still love Metallica, for example, whereas he grew out of them when he was 16 or something).

my little brother (14) listens to the White Stripes, the Strokes, the Hives, Franz Ferdinand, the Ramones, and the Clash. which isn't too bad.

my little bro is 16 and likes a lot of good music. IF you were to ask him what are his favourite bands he would probably say Captain Beefheart, The Stooges, the Birthday party, Sonic Youth, Black Sabbath, the Fall,liars, devendra banheart...

my other little brother is 12 and isn't really much into music.

Can you say... SASSY!

My oldest sister doesn't really listen to music but she likes the Bloodhound Gang, Everclear, and Enya.

My Brother is a metalhead who recently started listening to Matisyahu.

My other older sister listens to The Used and My Chemical Romance

My Dad likes Norah Jones and my mom likes Nirvana.

one of my brothers listens to old reggae, hiphop & grime
my sister likes hiphop, grime and people like sleater kinney, pj harvey & sonic youth
my other brother listens to dire straits and "dad" music

none of them are like obsessive music heads though.
