My dad is a big classic rock fan, particularly Bruce Springsteen and the Beatles. He's also a big jazz fan, particularly Miles Davis. I think he also likes Smashing Pumpkins for some reason.

My mom isn't a very big music fan. In fact, she made my dad throw out his records, which made me .

My dad graduated from high school prior to the rock and roll era. He does not understand how I can listen to music with "that roarin' guitar."

I recently stumbled across my step dad's old records. He had vinyl copies of Clapton's "Backless" and CCR's "Willy and the Poor Boys", as well as compilations of Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix Experience, and a couple I don't recall the exact title of by Willie Nelson and Muddy Waters. These were among several other things I don't remember or didn't recognize. Strangely enough, he doesn't have a record player at all.

My Mom likes a lot of modern Canadian female artists, like Sarah McLaughlin, Lorenna McKennett, Sarah Slean, Feist etc. but is also a fan of alternative like REM, Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo and some local-ish stuff like Great Big Sea and The Rankin Family (and some others you're even less likely to have heard of) Needless to say, she is a great supporter of the Canadian-Content laws we have in this country. She also says she doesn't like classic rock, but I think she's kidding herself.

My Dad's musical taste is harder to pin down He knows A LOT about music but he doesn't really buy his own CDs, he seems to like the same type of music as mom (except for the girly stuff) and he'll listen to pretty much anything. He says that back in the seventies he'd go into a record store every week and randomly buy an album, using the reasoning that if it got made than obviously someone liked it (he says it's not the same nowadays :P ) I'd love to go through his LP collection, now that I'm old enough to appreciate what I may find, but it got ruined when we moved due to (unknown) crappy storage I know he likes The Who, Pink Floyd, AC/DC and Dire Straits (and Neil Diamond lol) and I'm pretty sure he likes the Stones. He's gone on record to tell me he isn't much of a fan of Zeppelin though.

In my formative years, the music I remember best is The Hip's Fully Completely, and Trouble in the Henhouse Sarah McLaughlin's Surfacing and Fumbling Towards Ecstasy Blue Rodeo's Five Days in July and Tremolo (I think), Who's Next, Paul Simon's Graceland and REM's Out of Time and Monster (because it's orange)

Any, in conclusion: Wall of Text.

My Dad listens to a lot of the newer stuff I do now, it's kind of scary. But beyond that he really likes RHCP, Collective Soul, Aerosmith, Matchbox Twenty, Santana, and Zepplin.

My Mom listens to country (can't stand it) and Aerosmith, for the most part.
