Answer 1

i don't think it's weird they are after all the first people to play music for you while you are growing up. i thank my dad for turning me on to the beatles, rolling stones, doors, van halen, creedence clearwater revival, led zeppelin, simon & garfunkel. his record collection was a treasure that i could dig through while growing up. i have taken many of his records as my own and have purchased my of my own because of the love for music that he instilled in me, not only the music he would play for me but the music that i was able to discover own my own once i had a great foundation for the type of music that i love. now i can turn him on to bands like nirvana, green day, pearl jam, and the red hot chili peppers. we love talking about music and we are always asking each other musical trivia. i also love finding some record or cd that my dad had said he once had or wanted and giving it to him as a thank you for the music that he was kind enough to share with me.

You've always been listening to your parents' music - that's why you already like it so much. You might not recognize it, but the essential structures of any metal, urban, alternative, rock, pop, new country - you name it - has its roots in The Old Stuff. Everything old is new again - but the old stuff does sound pretty select sometimes. Don't get embarrassed about listening to your folks' music - I took a lot of crap as a kid for being a Beatles fan, and now you can't find someone my age who isn't a Beatles fan. Plus, I don't want to disillusion you, but your friends all like some of their parents' music. They won't admit it right now, but they do. So, do your ears a favor - go find yourself a cheap record player, and hit the Goodwill store and pawn shops. Buy all those old classics on vinyl and listen to them the way God (or at least their record producers) intended you to.

Answer 3

You want to know why?? Because this generations music sucks hardcore. Plain and simple. Its sad but true.Music has got to get better than whats now on the radio,its slim pickins. Im not downing this generation,only the music.Heres a video of something that came out in the 80's that wasnt even that good but is way better than anything out there now

Answer 4

It's ok to like music your mom liked when she was your age. She was rebelous too...bet your grandparents would roll thier eyes at the mention of "the pretenders"....oh how they corrupted the youth of America. Making them dance and shake thier hips and act and dress all sexy and provocatively...the shame of it all!!!

Can't wait to see your reaction later when you have kids and they say...I listened to a group called " nickleback " and I liked them, but I don't wanna like em cuz my mom likes em, but they are good.

Answer 5

Of course. I grew up with pretenders, like they, and loved them, but I also loved my parents' music, lots of classical, lots of jazz (Ella, Louis, Django Reinhardt and so on). It would be very silly to believe that there was no quality in music before these times.... in fact, it's easier to argue that the quality fades away with time. Chrissie Hynde has opened many doors for women in music.

Answer 6

i am 44 and the youngest of 5 kids. my dad did not really listen to music other then the really old barber shop kind . my mom odd as it may seem i think hated music . this was odd as she had her grade 12 from the royal conservatrory of music with piano.
my dad was a minister and my mom was the daughter of a minister as well as the wife of one this does not explain why they did like music but it might explain why they just seemed to like hymns. i know my second oldest brother caught alot of hassle from my mom asking what is the meaning of that music pink floyd and so on. each time he played it on his portable turntable with built in speaker it was as though he had taken heroirn or something the way my mom acted.
by the time i got to that point i just told her off and told her it was sad she had such a sad teen life with no fun . this shut her up for the most part but from time to time she would barge in and say what is that noise you have on . why are the lights low. are you on drugs. all kinds of silly stuff like that.
all except my one brother the oldest did smoke pot but my mom never knew. my oldest brother looked exactly like this pic of a nerd made to look like a dictionary pic of a nerd.
one day i was smoking some herbs not weed some legal stuff in the bath room and i heard him scream like death was near . mom come quick i think ...... is smoking pot in the bathroom
silly me l flushed it . its insane all this time later a school near him has him come in and speak about drugs to all the school . the man who thinks we will die if we smoke pot. i think they have him in because no teacher could keep a straight face while telling the students not to smoke pot .

Answer 7

That's a bad reason to avoid good music, but it happens a lot. Don't think of it as belonging to your mother. Justin Timberlake doesn't "belong" to you. If it's good music, enjoy it. There are so many good songs from the musical time wherein your mom grew up.

Answer 8

My mom gave me my first copies of Santana, Jimi Hendrix and even Led Zepplin.
My dad got me into Grover Washington Jr., and the Yellowjackets (both jazz)
My Grandmother got me into Dave Bruebeck and Glenn Miller.

So yeah, I've had this happen.

Answer 9

I remember when I was a kid in their car calling their music, now I listen to it and realise how good some of the classics are.
I used to get bored when al green and similar stuff was on..but now...haha

Answer 10

The music that our parents listened too is actually why the music today evolved to what it is... it was their generation that started rock n roll. I love classic rock n' oldies. It's great stuff!
