what is yr musical relationship with yr parents?

Do they understand yr musical tastes? Do they tolerate it? Do they enjoy it? Do you share musical tastes and collection with yr parents?

With my pops we have the opposite relationship. Most people my age get introduced to bad as 1970s music from their parents, but with me, I am the one trapped in the 1970s from Hendrix to Sabbath, the Dead to Jacob Miller..
He is the one who introduces me to contemporary and new bands, since I was like 10 years old! We have a natural similarity in tastes, though he listens to a lot of shit I think is crap, and he thinks I am caught up in reggae and jam band music..

BUT, we always meet half-way. Recently it was the Dead Weather. I never heard of them until he sent me the disk. They are my favorite new band.. He sends me discs every couple of months and it is my only outlet into contemporary or new music.. too me all these bands you people talk about is a foreign language, babel, gibberish!

with my mom, I don't even know what she likes.. The last band she was seriously into was Bon Jovi and before that it was Journey.. I grew up on Journey.. she is one of those listen to the top40 radio and never knew who anybody is kinda of people.

how about yr parents?

I'd say I'm probably closer to my mom than my dad musically. I don't even know if she listens to them anymore, but my mom enjoys Simon & Garfunkel and The Beatles on a ridiculously casual level. She also likes some showtunes, Barry Manilow, Elton John, and a few others, but she doesn't listen to music too seriously. My dad was into a lot of Jewish music. He mentioned to me once that he liked the Stones and (I think) Pete Seeger when he was younger. He also used to listen to the "oldies" station in the car, most of which he knew a great deal of. That's about all I know.

I never bothered exposing my parents to anything I listen to. They always seemed preoccupied with more important things. I don't think they'd enjoy it much anyway. They never seemed to mind what I was listening to either past the age of twelve.

my dad has been called a sociopath in the past. he only listens to frank sinatra and barry manilow. recently some world music because his new girlfriend has got him all into travel.

my mom likes familiar music. it comforts her. sometimes we have similar tastes - i appreciate her janis joplin, beatles, fleetwood mac and jazz records. but we tend disagree more often than not. she hates anything that is at all dissonant. the only thing i've introduced her to that she likes is lucinda williams.

my dad is a trumpetist in the Lahti Symphony Orchestra here in Finland, and while he doesn't actually love all the music I listen, we still have some common interests. i mean, some stuff that I remember him recommending to me include Anthony Braxton (mostly the records with Kenny Wheeler), Miles (especially Bitches Brew), Jan Garbarek, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Tower of Power etc.
some of those, + lots of others, i really do like.

my mom really doesn't listen to music, but she plays piano and flute. and that's fine with me.

my parents are south american. my dad used to be a singer in a band back when he was young, and met up with my mom. they played typical salsa/jazz-type music. my mom took guitar lessons when she was 13, but never was any more musical than that. she likes some songs of today but not much.

they seem to KNOW OF my taste in music but don't understand it at all

my mum would try have you to believe that the slightest of dissonance in a song is musically shit and my dad listens to genesis in his car, but I'm sure some common grounds exist.

my parents are generation X, my mom has pretty similar taste to me albeit not nearly as adventurous.

my dad listened to punk rock as a youth but he's a businessman now. he likes the blues and some rock like thin lizzy and ac/dc. as do i.

we're on the same page pretty much. i got a lot of my LP collection from them.

My Dad got into the BLUES. So, I will always be grateful. When I say blues, I mean.. Robert Johnson, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Son House, Muddy Waters, Robert Cray, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Etta James ect. ect.

My momma is an 80s kid. and she likes these kinds od bands, G n R, Motley Crue, Ratt, Posion, Van Halen
and some other stuff Led Zeppelin, early Beastie Boys
So, she did at least get me into the first Beastie Boys album
