What do your parents listen to?

[Mikee Merge n C]

I was broughjt up on a diet of U2, Bob Marley, Tamla Motown Recordings, The Jacksons, Simple Minds and Howard Jones [an artist John B has recently remixed right?! :) heavy]...

I'm sure it had some influence on my music tastes afterwards...

In the 1990's my mum always [said she] hated jungle hardcore techno but she doesn't mind Bukem or Future Loop Foundation etc...

Shes got some Ministry of Sound Chill Out CDs [whaaaaaack!:)]

Now mum is like "theres a really good band I expect you'll like..."

Oh yeah?

"Yeah... They are called Kosheen. You heard of them?"

YOU WHAT? I've met them! :) [Minus whats-her-face]

[Misdemeanor]

er my mum has no taste listening to queen, beegees etc. My dads more a classical man.

Cant say it influenced me one bit.......thank God.

[geeman]

no shit about 7-8 years ago my mum had a jungle tape heheheh

[coombz]

my parents listen to 380 bpm gabber terrorcore

[azonica]

was bought up on Motown ans soul mainly, might explain my taste for the funkier side of DnB :D

Now though my parens listen to...

Dad:

Kings of Leon
The Thrills
Queens Of The Stone Age
Janes Addiction

Mum:

Dido
Alicia Keys
Zero 7
My old funky house tapes :D

my mum had a ricky martin tape that she's rinsed like a THOUSAND MILLION TIMES!!! thankfully shes got bored of it now.. she seems to be feelin the gay trial nothin but mens vpoices singin of tribes men or whatever it is...

my dad likes all sorts of well old stuff... i dunno what, i never cared enough to actually pay attention. tho my dad ALWAYS said to me

'you'll be listening to this stuff when you get older'

[MIKEE HUSSLA]

I got a Motown Classics Album from a bootsale !! 50p !!

Brand New Quality too !! :funk:

[Jibba]

My Mum loves her Mowtown too. I see a pattern here. Mum's rule. She likes her hip-hop too. Asked me to make a mixtape for her once of "All my favourite rap songs that you've got James"

..included was LOTUG, Gangstaar, Biggie, The Brotherhood and Ice Cube. She used to play it on the way to work. Mum's rule.

Dad - fucking military marching albums, three tenors, other classical bollox and the odd beatles tune. Dad's are crap. Well mine is.

[Gem]

Fox FM.

[vyper]

My dad like's all types of music, one day he'll be playing a folk album or summat, then later on he'll play a Trance Album, even like's some of my D&B, the intelligent side though! But yeah, my dad likes a bit of everything, the Classical stuff & Ska & Reggae, definately rubbed off on me though. Also all th e60's stuff, which I do actually like.

My Mum likes Elvis & others from that era, music from now, she likes all the poppy stuff.

[Mikee Merge n C]

God knows what my dad is feeling!

If I was born in mums era I would have probably liked the same stuff...

I am [despite peoples expectations!] quite eclectic. Problem is I simply don't give myself any time to listen to anything other than 180bpm breaks! :)

[Mikee Merge n C]

Mum has been on the blower saying "you still haven't sent me a CD of your new tracks Michael..."

I don't know if it will do her any favours! :badteeth:

[Pink Niki]

What do your parents listen to?

who gives a fuck!

[Mikee Merge n C]

Well...


Me!


:badteeth:


It's gonna have some sort of influence on you, or not as the case may be!

Just interested in roots...

[Manikular]

i think it is an interesting question.

[mememe]

Yeah, good question.

Mum: Matt Monroe, Lonnie Donegan, Cleo Lane
Dad: Beatles, Beach Boys

Anyone for Drum n Skiffle?

[EvA]

Mine seem to like that panpipe rubbish every now and then, tho mum buys the now albums and she actually doesnt mind pvd!!!

[rogue]

Brought up on a diet of Madonna, Bronski Beat and Jean Michel Jarre, the trance overlord! Prob explains why i like my dnb with a tune and vocals!

Now, me mam listens only to classical, and dad likes his older rock like Deep Purple, Whitesnake and now the Darkness:badteeth:

[SugaCube]

my mum listens to eighties pop, my dad listens to metallica, iron maiden etc and my step dad listens to the doors and believes he is the reincarnation of jim morrisson

[Mikee Merge n C]

I don't know if mum 'gets' my tunes!
Unless she can see what I have to do to produce a track its hard for her to understand what makes it 'my' choon as opposed to a bunch of pre-developed synths and samples etc.

Producers - what do your parents think of your music?

[GnollinZ]

Dad: Pink Floyd, Queen, Bowie and lots of heavy rock biznez. Likes the odd bit of DnB, mainly the Bukem-esque stuff.

Mum: Motown. Although she did buy Hanson's first album, muchos respectos lost during that episode!!

I was heavily influenced by my Dad's taste (his choice of music was always on in the house, somewhere...). I love Pink Floyd - spent most of teen years listening to 2 things: Pink Floyd and bangin bouncy hardcore techno!

:funk:

[dj fu]

my dad listens to chinease canto pops.
my mum listens to classical
