    Never mind the parents, I had to sit through Dolly fucking Parton on a journey from Limerick to Thurles, Tipp', with my Sister, who's not much older than I am. I was about ready to kill myself. My Pop, on the other hand, likes Zeppelin, Queen, so on.

    Your pop likes rock? What does your jazz like?

    I remember mine bought this double cassette of "Rock n roll" from the 60s as they knew we liked rock music.
    :D

    Doubt it was Led Zeppelin and the Stones etc; early '60s stuff that my dad would have loved I assume.

    My dad loves Hendrix, the Stones, Queen, Lynrd Skynrd, the Who, Pink Floyd, Cohen, Dylan, old Aerosmith stuff, and loves getting the Led out. I'd go on any road trip with him, anytime, and never argue about the music.

    My Dad is the same. When I was 13 he bought me that Led Zeppelin remastered double CD. Our taste in music is almost identical. Although I listen to a lot of electronic stuff as well as the classic rock which wasn't really around when he was my age. He used to think all electronic music was sh!te but I'm slowly turning him around to it. We went to see The Black Keys together when they played in Dublin a while back.

    My mum likes Garth Brooks, Bryan Adams, and the Bee Gees. I'll start off singing along with her to keep her sweet, but at the end of an hour of it, I'll be plotting to kill her.

    I go from "Everything I doooo.....I doooo it for yooooo..." to the theme from Psycho :)

    Better than silence, punctuated by your elderly relatives reading every signpost, billboard and lorry they see.

    "Lydon's Bakery... Coca Cola... Monivea... TSB..."

    Are we dead yet? Kill me now.

    Post 66 Beatles are the only Beatles worth listening too, my mother always hated the Beatles after rubber soul onwards she thought they got weird, I thought they got interesting.

    Having said that, A Hard Day's Night from 1964 is one of their strongest albums. Some AMAZING stuff on that. Look beneath the surface. Also their 63 - 65 singles were peerless, obviously. :-)

    One of the (admittedly - many) reasons I hate Coldplay is because my mother has one of their albums.

    Five hour trips to Mayo back in the day.

    Dad driving - Christy Moore, The Dubliners, Luke Kelly etc..

    Mam - always remember the year she was pregnant on my youngest sister my dad bought her garth Brooks and Queen cassette, we listened to them over and over.

    As a result I know most of the above mentioned artists songs by heart and am very fond of all of them!

    I liked what my parents used to play for us on a long car journey.. lots of Irish folk music - sure we'd be begging for them to throw on some Christy Moore.

    On the other hand, my parents had to endure the torture of Richie Kavanagh's album on repeat on the long drive down to Kerry in the summer of 1996.

    AND we sang along at the top of our lungs.

    My father thought anything recorded after about 1935 that wasn't by The Dubliners was rubbish. I don't recall him ever playing music in the car. He didn't even own a record or cassette player. I know he liked music because he played the harmonica. Apart from The Dubliners I have no idea what he liked though.

    That's your fault. Mine was brainwashed from an early age. I see rock journalist in her future...
