What kind of music did you grow up with?

Let me see...

Latin rock, like Soda Stereo, Los Prisioneros, etc...
Music from the 60's (yeah, i'm not that old, but my parents listened that kind of music).

I grew up with Queen because my Mum is a Diehard Queen fan

Ah! That's SO awesome ;D Lucky...

My dad's a band director so I followed his band a lot when I was around him. I pretty much got influenced by jazz and classical music when I was a kid. My sister and my mother were the ones who were into all those shitty boy bands. Thanks to my dad he got me started on the trumpet and I got even more into jazz and classical stuff.

Eventually my friends got me into heavy metal, hard rock, etc. Basically all the good stuff.
Anyway, I heard Queen on the radio this one day and I asked my friend who this is. And he told me it was Queen. Right after I found out about Queen I rushed out to Best Buy and bought the band's greatest hits. That was my first rock album and my most memorable. I'd sit on my bed and seduce myself to Queen. After Queen's greatest hits I started exploring the rest of the rock world. And here I am! A 17 year old rocker who still can't get enough of music and its endless boundaries...

smurfs and more such childish songs

Well, my mother has always been a beatles fan, she still almost faints at the sight of Paul Mcartney! And she liked country stuff like Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, and Dolly Parton, when i was a kid. My fathers side of the family mostly likes spanish music.

*cries* I grew up listening to..the Backstreet Boys and Brittany Spears! *cries more*
My childhood is such a sad story..no good music..

My dad is brilliant for this kind of thing: He likes his 60s rock n' roll and 70s hard driving rock and a bit of glam too. But he can appreciate my mum's music too, which is much more poppy. AND he loves all these newer bands like Muse (yes I know they've been around for a while). I actually think that, between Mum and Dad, the only music neither can stand is the likes of the Pussycat Dolls. Ergo when the time came that I should use iTunes and Mum was saying, 'Your iPod, your money! However I'll charge you half if it's a song I like.'
So I never downloaded any crappy 'girl/boyband' material and have grown to despise it. Unfortunately that appears to be all the 4th years listen to and they're the ones in charge of the stereo in the cloakroom (I'd rather have NO music than the shit that blares out of that thing!)

When I was really little, my parents listened to what would be called now "Adult Easy Listening"...you know, Phil Collins, Elton John, that kind of stuff. When I was about 14 or so they both switched over to country, so I grew up mostly with country western stuff. Now that I'm out of the house, Mom is going back into her 60's stuff (Hall and Oates, etc) and Dad is sticking pretty much with country, although he does venture into classic rock (I recently found a Led Zepplin CD in his car!) and getting back to his childhood with trumpet music (Chris Botti mainly).
Me, I grew up listening mostly to the "new" stuff that was coming out at the time...typical 80's and 90's Pop and boy bands (yes..that includes NKOTB). But I had cousins who listened to Metallica, and I got into Queen when I was around 15 or so. I still have a soft spot in my heart for Chorales, Masses and Arias, along with Broadway. But as a general rule, now I'm getting into the older classic rock (although I'm still a sucker for Power Ballads of the 80's). About the only thing I won't listen to is rap (it isn't music), jazz (my brain can't follow it) and anything older than about 1955.

when i was little i listened to the backstreet boys alot..... i even went to a concert, whoa...

I was into that whole punk rock thing, Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, etc... when I first heard Another one bites the dust... I then asked my father if he had a Queen cd... his answer was a 20 year old cassette...so i popped it in the boombox and jammed... i ws immmediately brought to my senses the rest is history

First, I would like to say hello to all of you, because I'm new at this wonderful place :)

My early years are the years of The beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Presley and Queen ofcourse :)
And I thank my parents for that :)
Than I started to listen to all this pop crap, but it lasted only for a few years and I came back to rock agai :) When I ask any Queen fan about his "music history", they say nearly the same :)

My mom's the biggest Zeppelin fan ever so I grew up on Zeppelin. I also grew up on the Beatles (the only band I've loved consistently for 17 years) and classical music (mozart mostly) and country...which I'm over thank god...even though I like Patsy Cline a lot.

my parents made us listen to literally everything, even stuff they hated to make us openminded.
