In 10 years time this thread will seem a bit quaint. I'm willing to predict the average dad will be listening to anything from Classic Rock to the Sex Pistols to NWA, the Hucklebuck will be strickly for rural OAPs.

My mum and dad, bless them, had absolutely terrible taste in music when I was growing up. They grew up in the era of Elvis and the Beatles yet the only Elvis record in the house was a gospel one! There was a copy of Devil In Disguise on 7" though, and it's still one of my favourite Elvis songs.

They must have wondered what they did wrong when I was listening to AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, etc., growing up!

I must be ahead of my time, so. Groovy!

[Edit: Ok, I'll give yez a peek inside a forty-something's music folder. This is my work PC, so only a small and slightly arbitrary cross-section. If there's anything there you find funny, just remember that you're not too old to be put across my knee just yet!]

Dont be at yourself

Beatles, Elvis, Johnny Cash, The Rat Pack, so not too bad!

peckerhead, your music reflects your age! Lots of that stuff I grew up with (42). However minus points for no Miles Davis or Stars-on-45!

he loves a lot of stuff, has a lot of queen, beatles, deep purple and so on. but he has meandered into my cd collection (when i stick something on in the car). strangely he likes metallica (particularly S&M), rammstein & pearl jam!

My Dad has great taste in music.

When I was young he had stacks and stacks of cassettes filled with albums he'd taped off the radio (back when they used to play whole albums late at night). Talking Heads. Led Zeppelin. Elvis Costello. The Doors. The Stones. The Beatles. Pink Floyd. Steely Dan.

I remember the day Ok Computer came out we went off on a family holiday to France and spent the whole thing listening to it in the car as we drove around.

Got a lot to thank my Da for. Growing up with good music being played in the house is just one of them.

Ditto. I don't think he actually likes music.
