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!

lol harley...i blame the parents for my crazy taste in music...

i might take my mum to see greenday....they sing about jesus and suburbia...two of her favs!

Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Van Morrison.

im taking my dad to see hayseed dixie and a thing lizzy tribute soon..i also blame him for my eclectic taste in music

thing lizzy?

omg does the wow show have david "bowsanarrersagainstderlitnin" essex?

"and mum, they sing about the patron saint of denial...st.jimmy!"....you'll love um..

ELO, Phil Collins, Supertramp

mum, meet god!

Thing Lizzy is an excellent name for a tribute band though

Das Liede von der Erde, Wagner/Mahler?

I have their record (EP?). When I was single it was very useful for making people go home when they'd outstayed their welcome

The Everley Brothers. They've since gone on to be covered by many bands (including Thuggs doing Thethelia as Chris Eubank put it ) so they muct have some street cred.

That's spooky, I clicked on the thread to add The Everley Brothers. I feel all superfluous now...

Doodle2U really?! I did love that song and vividly remember the single cover - it had a pair of surgeon's hands in green gloves

Mrsdisorganised My mum seems to have had very similar musical tastes to yours! What year was she born?

Anyway, I have a very secret thing for:

Neil Diamond (seems to be mum's choice on here)
The Carpenters
Abba
Glen Campbell
10CC
Roy Orbison
Simon and Garfunkel
Les Miserables

Luckily My Dad liked The Beatles, The Who, ELO, Thin Lizzy, David Bowie etc

She also inflicted bloody Poldark and the Forsythe saga on me, but thats another story.....

most of the music mentioned on here is pretty good..paul simon/the beatles/neil diamond....can live with that (still love paul simon)....real pain was val doonican and johnny logan....i had it the hardest.

i have to admit, we still play all my dads old vinyl...mostly its pretty cool stuff
even the 'captain beaky and his band' 45

Captain Beaky!!!! My Dad and his mates once did a boat race dressed as all the characters

''Maaaa-gic, mohhhhhments. when two hearts are...''

DP, I'm sorry, someone on here was forced to listen to pipe bands. They win so far

jjaysus harley! I have that 45. Am I old enough to be your mother?

Rolf Harris

Nowt wrong with sir Rolf. He is also on our mp3 playl;ist for long journey sing-alongs

I've taught my oldest DC 'The Court of King Caractacus'
