treeduck Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 as far as rush goes specifically, my parents never cared about rush. my mom disliked geddy's voice for years until I started playing them all the time, and my dad's favorite is their first album - he's more of a rock purist, 2112 is as far as he goes.How old are your parents? younger than most of you guys - dad's 45, mom's 40 hell, lorraine is older than one of my grandmothers!Lorraine is actually a living Egyptian Mummy. Her real name is Neferupture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably have to feed them with a bottle if I met them before I could find out what bands they like! yeah, they're young, and they don't really have much in common musically with the average TRF'er. I've got all my dad's cassettes, and not a single asia or night ranger is to be found! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driventotheedge Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 My parents married in 1953 (they're still married 62 years later and still alive & kicking at ages 83 & 82) so by the time Elvis and early rock & roll hit they were past the age of that imprinting on them Besides, my mom is utterly uninterested in music and never listens to it. My dad however, enjoys music and grew up in the Swing era, e.g. Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, etc. and as a result I was exposed to tat early on. It didn't do a lot for me when I was younger, but I've grown to like it more and more as I've gotten older. Oh, and he now listens to some early rock stuff, late 50s and early 60s. He loves the Beach Boys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"new age" parent, eh? personally, I wouldn't think a 20 year-old male and his father engaging in some harmless ribbing over each other's tastes would result in any lasting damage, but who knows.

Polaris Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I discovered my favorite types of music on my own. My parents' music influenced me to seek some really heavy music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 hey, here's another interesting topic - did any of us have an influence on our parents' tastes? I actually got my mom to appreciate rush, 70s genesis, maiden, other stuff she'd written off Yes, but only if it was pleasing to the ear, in her estimation. I used to make my mom mix tapes all the time when I was a kid. Some of the gentler Queen stuff, like Love of my Life, Genesis tunes like You Have Your Own Special Way, lots of acoustic Tull tunes . . . I'm not sure if any Rush made it to tape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually got my mom to appreciate rush, 70s genesis, maiden, other stuff she'd written offMy mom always liked female vocalists so she enjoyed when we let her know about Carole King and Carly Simon; she turned out to like the Beach Boys and Elton John a lot too. Can't quite picture her with Maiden, although we used to be able to play Purple's "Machine Head" louder than all the rest. ;) ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 None at all... The thing is, my parents actually had some really good taste in music eg the Stones, Doors, Deep Purple etc, but I would rather have stuck a red hot poker up my jacksie than listen to the same music my parents did at the time. Obviously that has changed now, and I have discussions frequently with my mother about music 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She really likes Danzig, but I think that's because she loved Elvis. Rush never did it for her though.

If it's not classical, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, etc., then they're not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
