If you were born in the early 1980's;

[lucysmam]

what music did your parents listen to?

I'm working my way through the Eurythmics, The Beatles and Paul Simon atm.

What else might my dad have listened to when I was young???

It might be handy to know how old (roughly)/your dad was at the time.

My mum listened to Wham mostly.
I also remember Boy George Culture Club.

I was ‘85 and my parents listened to Eurythmics, Blondie, Paul Young and Huey Lewis. My dad also listens to a lot of early Elton John and he likes Toto if I remember rightly

Soul music

My mum loved Queen (innuendo)

@AuntyPasta he'll have been 30 ish

My Mum was into Motown, Sister Sledge and five star. My Dad was more into Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner.

Born in 1980. Mum listened to the Beatles, Rolling Stones. Dad was more Aretha, Otis, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles.

My Dad listened to a lot of Pink Floyd.

Depeche Mode, the Smiths, the Cure, the Stranglers

Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, The Beach Boys.

Our house was all Paul Simon, The Housemartins and Squeeze.

Queen, Roxy music, Tina Turner, Bowie, cliff richard, meatloaf, Bon jovi, pet shop boys, u2, sting and the police, human league

Metallica, Black Sabbath, Slade

Billy Joel, Gene Pitney, Wet Wet Wet, eurythmics, deacon blue, Fleetwood Mac, eagles. Anything you find on a driving or rock ballad mix album these days.

Also Pet Shop Boys - always makes me think of my dad. My mum has always listened to Neil Diamond!

Beatles, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, Simon and Garfunkel

Credence Clear water, queen, meatloaf, Springsteen, erasure.

Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, Eurythmics, ELO, Paul Simon.

Fleetwood Mac & Lionel Richie for my Dad and Cliff Richard and all the 60's classics for my Mum!

But then my Mum was 40 when she had me and my Dad was 45 so a little older than average parents of kids my age. (I was born in 84)

I was born in ‘83 and my parents were both around 30 then. I grew up listening to: the Beatles, Paul Simon, Queen, Joe Jackson, Neil Young, Talking Heads, Janis Ian, Cream, David Bowie, John Martyn, Fleetwood Mac.

Queen, Eurythmics, Fleetwood Mac, Rod Stewart, Tom Petty, REM, Genesis/Phil Collins, Meatloaf, Enya, Belinda Carlisle 😂

All music that makes me massively nostalgic for my childhood (born 1983). One of my greatest pleasures in adult life is taking my dad to live music because he loves music but going to see bands was just never a thing he’d have thought of doing when I was growing up.

I was born in 83 and Df listened to Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell and Tracey Chapman.

Pet shop boys, Fleetwood Mac, Simply Red, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Michael Jackson, The Kinks, Phil Collins, Clannad

They also loved a good movie soundtrack-the music to Buster and Top Gun remind me so much of my childhood!

Prince buster, UB40, Eddie grant
