Music Your Parents Liked But You Hated As A Kid

[The Modfather]

Jim Reeves

 

[Butch Willykins]

My parents used to play Jeff Wayne's "War of the World" without fail on every road trip we used to go on. It used to scare the shit out of me.

 

[DumLum]

My mum loved the Beatles, my Dad loved the Stones. I think I was lucky.

 

[jemwillett]

Big fans of folk. Tom Paxton, Clancy brothers, Dubliners, dylan, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, the spinners and on.

 

[dazzer6666]

My parents were big into Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis and worst of all Chuck Berry. I'm still scarred.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Jazz.

My Dad listened to it all the time. Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie etc.

Now I love it, although must confess to having a somewhat limited collection. I need to find out where all his old LPs are.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

My mum not only liked the singing of Max Bygraves - she went to school with him. And his real name was Wally.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

My dad loved Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins which I have always loved from a young age, what's not to love at five singing cowboy songs. Now my mum liked a band called family and another called free, Jesus they were pants and still don't get it. She was my step mum so I have an out.

 

[Willy Dangle]

John Denver......he certainly left on a jet plane.
