What music did your parents ban you from listening to?

Call on me by Eric prydz

They didn’t ban music

edit to add
and neither did I ban any music but we did have a chat about some lyrics

None but I do remember my mum being fairly horrified when she heard Alanis Morisette “you oughta know” 😆

None. But they didn't really comment on any of the music I was playing, other than to tell me to turn it down a bit. They were very much in to classical music, and 50s Italian singers! So they didn't pay much interest in my music, or any current music.

Mine were not keen on rage against the machine but tolerated it!

My dad once heard a bit of 'god is a dj' and told me to turn it off immediately because he thought I was getting indoctrinated into a religious cult. He was serious.

Not banned per se but me and my brother had to play Ian Dury and the Blockheads New Boots and Panties LP with our parents. We had to explain why we liked it. Only played it when they were out after that interesting and painful hour.

I’m not sure it’s a particularly strange question. I’m easy going but have told my teenage boy that I don’t want him listening to drill music …

I was born in the early 70s, so by the time horror films were available on video to the masses, I was pretty much old enough to make my own mind up about watching them (my tastes have never inclined towards gore type films, even now in my 50s, I take my glasses off if a scene is getting gory so I can't see it).

I suspect even my parents would have drawn a line at my watching the films you mention when I was a small child, had it arisen! But my viewing was limited to the offerings of BBC1, BBC2 and A.T.V.

None. They weren’t mad on our music choices especially punk but nothing was banned.

None, I grew up with Eminem but also headphones

Yes, they do. I'm in the UK. My mother banned me from listening to "devil music" (and she thought the Rolling Stones were sub-human). So I used to listen to it at friends' houses. I was allowed to watch The Monkees TV show but had to turn the sound down when they played. We had classical on at home, and my mum used to sing a lot of old music-hall songs like My Old Man Said Follow The Van and Come Into The Garden, Maud (often with risque lyrics but I don't suppose she realized!). But pop? No!
My mum was a very old lady when my DD played her some Abba and she conceded that yes, she liked it.

Not banned, but disapproval. NWA, too sweary for my mum. She had no problem with me dancing around to like a virgin aged 11 mind

If you think back to the 70s, before Walkmans came in, listening to music at home as a child often meant putting a record on the family's Music Centre, in the living room, for everyone to hear!

Anything by The Killers.
With a name like that they were clearly a gangster rap group glorifying violence 😂😂

None!

None. They didn't like a lot of music, especially when I moved into my rap/hip hop era in early 2000s, but they never banned me from any of it.

She tried to stop me listening to Guns ‘n’ Roses for a while, more because they were in the news a lot and she thought it was the done thing. It was the early 90s and the time of parental advisory stickers etc. I don’t think she really cared that much.

Val Doonican.

I loved listening to my copy of his Christmas album, but my mum took it off the record player, broke it in two & put London Calling by The Clash on instead. She said I should be listening to proper music. I’m still traumatised, all these years later.

My mum bought me that for my eleventh birthday. She worked in a record shop and was pretty cool. No music was banned, but she didn’t approve of any boy bands as she thought they were all crap 😁 She sis get upset when I taped over her Doors Greatest hits though, and massively took the piss when I bought it myself a few years later.😁

My Dad hated The Fall, and in retrospect I can hear why 😂

Though Marks musings weren’t banned

@alwayscrashinginthesamecar1 I hope you bought a deluxe remastered double CD to try and make up for such irreverence

You mum sounds ace!

I wasn't allowed to listen to Salt n' Pepa Let's Talk About Sex.

None. I don’t think they really paid much attention to what music I listened to.

Ermmm, none! Why would they?

Some of us were brought up in the 60s and 70s with very conservative parents.

Anything remotely suggestive was declared FILTH by my mother.
