Music your dad listens to

[Gullys Cats]

I couldn't stand most of his music when i was a kid, now days it is all i listen to, Rod Stewart, elton John, queen, Bob Marley UB40, even the eagles(not palace), has your dads music had an influence on what you listen to today?

 

[Return of the Rev]

Nazi marching songs

 

[chucky1973]

my dad listened to Daniel O Donnell when we were growing up..........now I love the Pogues.

 

[The Large One]

My dad use to listen to Buddy Holly, so that's not a bad education to have had.

My love for pop music began with the launch of Radio 1. Before that, we didn't have a record player, and there really wasn't much to listen to. I'm not even sure what my dad liked, apart from Johnny Cash and Mireille Mathieu.

 

[Braders]

Yeah own a couple of Stranglers albums.

Would'nt say its all i listen too but has had huge influence on my taste of music. Floyd, t-rex, 80's genesis, john miles, hawkwind etc.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Dire Staits, Kinks, Carpenters, 10CC, The Stranglers, Buddy Holly, Wings and all that. Pretty good education really. Has no noticeable influence but the standards were set high hence I abhor the likes of Keane and Coldplay who I find extremely dreary.

My Dad was a Big Band man,loved "old time " dancing,Glen Miller and such.Course,he's been gone a long while,and we only had a wind up gramaphone in his day.He was the bloke who got to the pub before they turned the juke box on and surreptitiously damaged the wiring,the one who told me "modern" songs were gibberish whilst he'd sing "Little lamsey divey".

I did like "Pennies from Heaven" the show on TV years back,but I wouldn't say my Dad had any influence on my musical taste and regarded Bob Dylan as little more than a busker.

 

[Gullys Cats]

I forgot 10cc and supertramp.

 

[somerset]

My old man was obsessed with Tubular Bells......... but although I have a copy now.... I am a bit more eclectic.....

 

[crabface]

My dad listened to alot of Johnny cash and Jim Reeves, i listen to alot of Cash now but havent caught onto Jim Reeves.

 

[Camicus]

My old man was a big Scrumpy and western fan lucky for me my mums an old hippy so saved the day

 

[Randsta]

Dad had no influence on my tastes in music quite the oppoosite ...he likes beatles, Dlyan, fairport etc I like mainly electronic music

 

[pipkin112]

has your dads music had an influence on what you listen to today?

My dad was a massive Shirley Bassey fan, so i can honestly say, he has had no influence on my musical taste.

[Insel affe]

My Ol`Man had damn good taste Jimmy Driftwood, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, Rolling Stones, The Sonics & Various 60s Surf & Garage bands.... Not bad for a Vicars son

I like some of the stuff my Dad listened to, mainly classical stuff, but mostly he used to listen to Ray Conniff, Barry Manilow, Jack Jones, Johnny Mathis etc.

Gilbert O'Sullivan too, but I like SOME of his stuff.
