My parents like Nat King Cole and most country music.

[DizzymissLizzy909]

My dad grew up during the sixties and was completely into rock'n'roll and liked bands like the Beatles, Stones, Steppenwolf, Kinks, etc.
My mom grew up during the sixties too, but she was into CLASSICAL MUSIC. graemlins/nono.gif

My dear old pa' was a jazz fan,He loved Erroll Garner,Bill Evans,Coleman Hawkins,Duke Ellington,Stan Getz and so on...tnx to him I knew the Beatles.
When He brought me home 'She loves you'.then He started to love'em too.

Momma loves Frank Sinatra,Dean Martin....

[SgtPepper2107]

My mom and dad like country music like George Jones,Charlie Pride and Tammy Wynette they also like Christian music.

[Hari Krishna]

My dad listens to smooth jazz, lots of David Benoit and Kenny G! My mom doesn't really listen to music but she loves disco graemlins/images/icons/shocked.gif .

[Sgt.McCartney]

My parents are into some of the late 60's and 70's bands. Like Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, Who, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Monkees, etc

[Ruby Soho]

The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, the Mamas & the Papas. Simon & Garfunkel..

[BeatleBonJoviFan]

My Dad primarily likes The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who. He also likes Eric Clapton and Simon & Garfunkel. He's into classic rock.

My Mom likes country music (YUCK!). But that's a recent development. She grew up liking Elvis, The Carpenters, and Queen to name a few.

They both liked The Monkees way back in the day. I can't think of who else they like, but that's a pretty good idea of what they listen to. They were also not allowed to listen to their favorite musicians, watch them on TV or go to their concerts while they were still living at home. That is why my brother and I both now have free reign over who we can listen to. But I think Mom and Dad are happy that we like the same kind of music they like. images/icons/smile.gif

During my formative years, I was tormented with the stylings of Perry Como, Tony Bennett and Big Band music leaders like Glen Miller, Guy Lombardo and lots of broadway musical soundtracks, "My Fair Lady", "Camelot", etc. But when I hear it now, it's not so bad. Not that I'll run out and buy any of that, mind you, but it's ok. My Mom was also a big Carpenters fan, which was something we had in common. And think my Dad had a James Taylor tape. Is it any wonder why I have such a great love for music? Even though our tastes did differ greatly.

[Johnna Lynn]

My Dad: ELVIS, Creedence Clearwater, Eagles,Charlie Pride,ABBA,(yes ABBA)
Mom: Mario Lanza, ELVIS, Bee Gees, Mammas and Pappas, Capenters(I LOVE Karens voice)

[Harbidge]

My mum loves Motown, and tear-jerkers. The title music by Racmaninov of the film 'Somewhere in Time' is her all time favourite piece of music.

My dad loves heavy rock and his favourite band is Led Zeppelin. He also loves Slade images/icons/smile.gif

[jtal909]

My mom, growing up in north Jersey where Sinatra was from, was what they called a "bobby soxer". The teenage girls wore bobby sox then and were into Sinatra like Sinatramania. She still has a scrapbook and a satin pillow with a picture of his face on it.

[IWantToTellYou]

My dad liked his oldies music. '50s and '60s mostly.

My mother loved the Beatles and Wings. She was also in love with French singers from France, such as Michel Sardou, and Serge Lama.

[beatlelover45223]

My parents liked Big Band and such singers as, Vaughn Monroe,Robert Goulet,Tony Bennet, Glen Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Kate Smith, Patti Page,Doris Day,Jerry Vale... They now like The Carpenters,Beach Boys, Bee Gees, Ann Murray, Kenny Rogers, pretty diverse, they have a special place in their hearts for The Beatles because of me, their oldest daughter, Elton John because of their youngest daughters, just no heavy rock ie: Led Zeppelin they by-passed and went directly to Park Place graemlins/laugh5.gif

[HeyBeatle]

My mom likes mostly pop through out the ages, Motown, Kathy Mattea, some Christian Rock, The Monkees, Opera etc

My dad likes as ton of stuff, Peter Paul and Mary, Carole King, James Taylor, The who, Joan Baez, The Beatles, some country, a number of other country artists. His list is quite extensive.

[Rellevart]

My parents enjoy music (Mom used to have a beautiful soprano voice and Dad used to play a bit of piano), but they don't even own a stereo and the whole idea of being a "fan" of something is totally foreign to them. They like show tunes and classical music and even the occasional pop tune, but they've never had any devotion to any group or artist, as far as I know.

My older brothers were the prime age for getting into all the 60's rock that their baby sister was a bit too young for, but none of them were into it at all. They too like music, but no particular artists. I don't know where my tendency to be EXTREMELY devoted to my favorites came from! images/icons/smile.gif

[AnotherGirl83]

My dad loves 50's oldies - literally anything from that time. He likes 60's stuff too, but he says he was "too old" at the time ;-)
My mom likes the Beatles of course (it'd be kind of hard for her to stay "immune" with me around anyway images/icons/wink.gif ) and most 60's music.

[HMVNipper]

My parents are just a bit too old for Elvis and a bit too young for Frank Sinatra...though they like Sinatra very much (and so do I!). My mom said her big heartthrob when she was in high school was Eddie Fisher! (Yes, Carrie Fisher's father...) My parents always liked show music too, and I have an appreciation of that because of them. My dad used to play records Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass a lot when I was a kid...and it was because of Dad that I gained my appreciation for Gershwin.

I also know that as a couple, my parents were really into Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme...God, their musical taste is SO hokey...

[Siobhan]

My mother likes the Beatles, Queen, Julio Iglesias (sp?) and Ricky Martin graemlins/images/icons/rolleyes.gif *She's from Gibraltar, so she likes most things with a mediterranian feel.

My dad is a few years older than my mum. He generally likes people like Doris Day, Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand.

[Beatle_soul]

my mom listens to the red hot chili peppers,cherl crow,paul simon,Bee Gees,B 52,s, the police..............ect but no classical or contry....

she likes the Beatles But she dosent "LOVE" the Beatles shes so tired of hearing me talk about Beatles too much and same with the lound Beatle music

[EasternBird]

My mom is the same age as Paul, but she was never a Beatles fan. She loves Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, and (ugh) Celine Dion. graemlins/dead1.gif

My dad's the type that's very private about his music - he keeps his CDs hidden away, and he always uses headphones, even if there's no one else at home! When I finally found his CDs, they were surprisingly good - Eagles, ZZ Top, Allman Brothers...and when I went to college, he stole all my Fleetwood Mac CDs. graemlins/smile1.gif

[Beatlesgal]

[Danoota64]

My father was a huge Elvis fan, born the same year as him, even tried to comb his hair like the King. Was in the Army at the same time, but their paths never crossed. Both parents bought 45s in the late fifties (all mine now), like Fats Domino and the Everly Brothers to name a few. By the time i came along, both my parents listened only to the real good, traditional country music, and that's what i was raised on. They may not have been good parents, but they had great tastes in music!
Now Pops listens to a lot of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, Scottish fiddle tunes, and old country tapes i make for him. Mother and i don't speak, but i remember she liked Alan Jackson and Charley Pride a lot.

[Boogaloo Sixty-Four]

My dad likes classic rock, jazz and bluegrass! He especially digs the Stones...and wishes he could drum like Charlie Watts. images/icons/tongue.gif

My mom used to like easy listening/soft rock; but then Dad turned her onto the Stones and Eric Clapton. Then I turned her onto the Violent Femmes. She even left a Ramones tune on the radio at work (she's a hairdresser) and treated her elderly wash 'n' set customers to a blast of punk once.

I'm the only Beatlemaniac in the house, though. My parents don't mind graemlins/peace.gif solo, but they don't much like the Four together. I even remember the first time I blasted Help! on my stereo as a kid...my cat was sleeping on my bed, and she actually flattened her ears back and hissed before she sort of scurry-flew out of the room like a rat.

I swear I must be adopted.
