Can’t see your link - was it Rory Gallagher’s Irish tour? Recently bought it myself.
My guess would have been Tommy.
Not much in common with my Dad either, but he did like Thin Lizzy’s ‘whisky in a jar’.
I’m the oldie now last week went to Bristol with my student daughter to see her favourite band. Joy Division, well it was New Order but they did a few JD songs. Brilliant experience. Good taste rubs off!

When I was in France in the mid-70's the French used to go head-mental for Rory Gallagher. Him and Leetle Bob Story. Odd lot, they still had jukeboxes stacked with little else other than Johnny Hallyday and Sylvie Vartan records, at least a decade after their sell-by date. Probably still do.
Ah - I had a cousin (Albion fan) who had A million miles away at his funeral

Yep, saw RG at the Dome in ‘77. My ex had all his albums. Good albums and even better live.

Dad was Chris Barber and Acker Bilk, but also Beatles, Stones and most sixties UK pop plus some reggae. Mum was Elvis, Everley Brothers, Byrds and generally quite American in her taste. Later Dad and I crossed over with Steelye Span, Fairport Convention, Ralph McTell and Bob Marley (his) and Mike Oldfield, Supertramp, Van Morrison and Lynyrd Skynyrd (mine). After I discovered the Cure and the Clash there was less of a consensus, however. Mum unfortunately didn't see the 1970’s but I'm sure there would have been many musical meeting points had she done so. I often wonder how she'd have reacted to some of the more folksy Grateful Dead stuff, for example.
The Beatles
George Harrison
Rolling Stones (60’s stuff)
Some classical
Mike Oldfield
David Bowie
Motown
Supertramp
My Dad’s still alive now, and myself and my siblings, unwittingly picked up the musIc bug from him. Will always be grateful for that, I love listening to music. Even if it diverged into later pop and dance music, which he loathed (“turn that down, now”).
Latterly, it means I can take part in the all brilliant NSC threads .... often hosted by HWT, AmexRuislip and Studio150.
Happy days. Far better for the soul than obsessing over politics.

When my dad died, I acquired all his vinyl. He had three types of music - romantic classical (Tchaikovsky, Brahms etc), big band (Glen Miller, Ted Heath etc) and old music-hall stuff. I dumped the first two lots but the music-hall stuff was great. I still like listening to Max Miller - what a sense of timing he had.
But given his likes, it's no wonder he couldn't get to grips with what I was playing

Parents listened to musicals, dad always came in when Gary Glitter or the Sweet were on TOTP and shook his head in dismay, mum once said Black Sabbath vol4 wasn't too bad, that's as good as it got
Pinkie Brown
I'll look after the skirt
My late Mum was a huge Val Doonican fan. My Step-Father has a collection of Max Bygraves plus Bavarian style oompah music on CD & vinyl.

I was doing a battlefield tour 15 years ago and ended up in a bar in Albert on the Somme. The jukebox there had loads of Johnny Halliday records on it...and Edith Piaf still would you believe.
Back on topic I still love listening to Nat King Cole...to me it's like a musical 'hug'. I so miss those days
