What kind of music did you grow up with?

What kind of music did you grow up listening to? Like, your parents, grandparents etc...


Like for me:

My (step) dad was a Jazz person...so I grew up listening to Jazz (unfortunately :P)

Groups like: Chick Correa, Jaco Pastorius, Gino Vanelli, Santana, Weather Report, Frank Sinatra (A LOT)...etc etc...and he was also a HUGE Led Zeppelin fan O_O...So...on and on....all I would sometimes hear is LED ZEPPELIN AND LED ZEPPELIN AND LED ZEPPELIN...


My mom was a "hippie", so...I often heard bands like : Cheap Trick, Pink Floyd, Queen (YAY! :D), Led Zeppelin (cough), The Beatles.......and a bunch of classical music.....like Mozart and Beethoven....etc....


SO....yeah........sorry for such a stupid topic...but I'm interested...and curious...:P

I grew up on, for the most part, the music I listen to now. Stuff like Queen (always a big part of my life), Meat Loaf, etc.

I grew up listening to classical music, not only listening but playing it too xD That's all my mom listened to....
My dad....God this is weird....anyways, all he liked was Hotel California so basically that's the only 'song' I grew up with....lol
and thanks to my brother I started getting into classic rock a while ago!
oh I also grew up listening to some horrible russian pop....:S:S:S but that was because of my uncle xD

Mommy liked Elvis, Charlie Rich, John Denver and Barry Manilow. Daddy liked Willie Nelson. Then stepdad came along. He liked Queen, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Jethro Tull, The Eagles, Alan Parsons...

So I grew up hearing a wide variety of stuff and my first personal musical tastes included Hall & Oates, Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Queen, Village People.. I basically became a music consumer just as disco was dying and it appealed to me a great deal, and of course it was Another One Bites the Dust that really got me into Queen.

And I still enjoy a bit of all of that.

My dad: Reggea and soul.
My mum: 70s 80s Pop, Rock N Roll.
Older Brother: Hip Hop, RnB and Rap.

So basically a mixture of everything....

VH1 helped by introducing me to Queen and other Classic Rock bands.

father: random stuff, mostly classical music, OPM and 70's rock.

mother: jazz, the old kind of RNB, pop, disco, 80's music. FYI: she knows body language, but she didn't know it was by Queen.

Well, I never really grew up listening to any music. My dad only played his music in the car...and I never drove in his car that much. My mom listened to all sorts of crap, but only in her room. She never had it loud enough to hear from outside her room. I kinda grew up musicless. :(.....but, as to what I listened to before I listened to Queen *hangs head in shame* I was just like the other 5th graders....Hilary Duff and other crappy artists(if you can call them artists xD). I never did fall for the boy bands....I can't belive that I listened to that crap. :O *hangs head in more shame* Oh my God...I'm such a loser.... :(
Edit: Wait...I'm only 13! I'm not "grown up" yet! xD Well, my mom plays music in her car because she got a new CD player installed...so...she listens to country and stuff. So..I guess I'm kinda growing up with country music...ewwww! I hate country! Well, it's her car so she gets to pick the music...;_;

Michael Jackson when he was still black and his music didn't suck.

LMAO xD Heheheheheh ;D

^Yeah, that IS funny! xD xD xD

I grew up with Queen, Annie Lennox, Dragon, Eric Clapton and dare I admit it, the Spice Girls. At my school, you were either in club Spice Girls or club B*Witched. How sad is that!

Bob Dylan,Queen,Beatles(And Solo stuff),Rolling Stones,David Bowie,The Who etc etc

My favorites when I was younger were Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, and Cyndi Lauper. My parents liked all 60s stuff.

My mom is a pianist and organist - so lots of classical music as well as piano lessons for me, of course. I listened to so much music - but just stuff on the radio mostly ... not until Queen did I want to get all the music of one group.

My mum listens to Queen, so I am growing up with that.

And opera.
