Music inflicted on you by your parents which you still have a sneaking affection for...

[mollyroger]

..was just remembering Dire Straits which my mum used to lsiten to when she did the ironing and thinking ''hell, yeah, Romeo ad Juliet is a great song''

But then I remembered by Dad used to love Lindisfarne - fog on the tyne but actually it's still pretty fab!

And Leo Sayer and Neil Diamond!

The main things I remember them playing was Simon & Garfunkel, which is pretty good stuff by anyone's standards

But there was also stuff like The Wichita Lineman, and Strangers of the Shore, which aren't my usual taste...

on the shore, even...

queen
dire straits
paul simon (graceland)

Ha! I actually downloaded Wichita linesman in a fit of nostalia.
I shouldn't admit that, right?

Everybody loves Simon and garfunkel

Elvis, but that's not a sneaking affection, Elvis was The King after all...

and Cliff

My parents didn't have bad taste then.
I grew up on a lot of Motown courtesy of my mothe(Stevie Wonder still rules!), Queen and other Glam rock from my father!!!

Quite glad I left home by the time my mother got to where she is now....Il Divo and various reality stars

Boney M
Air Supply

Oh how embarassing... Barbara Dixon

Heard a song by her the other day and found myself happily singing along!

Burt Bacharach but in small doses.
Nobody can schmooze like Burt.

abba,the carpenters and bloody jim reeves (dad)!!

later on they became ballroom dancers,so there was always waltz,tango,samba,rumba music on....so they could practice in their heads!!!

John Denver. Aw.

Off to do an i-pod download now..

the dubliners

lol at Burt Bacharach

I draw the line at Leo Sayer (vomit)

Do enjoy Abba and the Beach Boys though.

Boney M

Aaaaahhhhhh...those Russians

Chicago. I've still got one of their old tapes that comes out on the odd occasion!

My brother used to listen to Chicago That's how old I am

Dolly Parton and Mozart - from Dad

PC - Ha! I know EXACTLY what you mean. My mum used to play Queen and Thin Lizzy when she was baking. Which was tolerably cool for a budding 12-yr-old rocker. Now she plays that blind Italian soft-opera chappie with the name like bertolli, agh, what's he called?

and now I'm behaving like my mum, who has no memory for names

Man, some of you lot are young.

My parents had Beatles records (can't believe they threw them out)

I have a soft spot for Shirley Bassey, we all loved her

Neil Diamond (love love Neil Diamond)
Andy Williams
The Beach Boys
{takes me back emotion]

Any and all country, and must admit, its about all I listen to, although more of newer country, like Josh Turner, Tim McGraw and Sugarland.

I downloaded Country Roads - john denver recently
We have certain songs we like to sing raucously en famille on long journeys. That's one of them. The playlist is very eclectic though.....

lol gibberish..so did my sister..

25 or 6 to 4

feeling like i ought to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Shoshe love love love Tim McGraw and Sugarland!

My mum loved Barry Manilow

I have even sat through a concert with her - it was fab (but don't tell anyone!)
