What kind of music did you grow up listening to? Like, your parents, grandparents etc... Like for me: My (step) dad was a Jazz person...so I grew up listening to Jazz (unfortunately :P) Groups like: Chick Correa, Jaco Pastorius, Gino Vanelli, Santana, Weather Report, Frank Sinatra (A LOT)...etc etc...and he was also a HUGE Led Zeppelin fan O_O...So...on and on....all I would sometimes hear is LED ZEPPELIN AND LED ZEPPELIN AND LED ZEPPELIN... My mom was a "hippie", so...I often heard bands like : Cheap Trick, Pink Floyd, Queen (YAY! :D), Led Zeppelin (cough), The Beatles.......and a bunch of classical music.....like Mozart and Beethoven....etc.... SO....yeah........sorry for such a stupid topic...but I'm interested...and curious...:P |

I grew up on, for the most part, the music I listen to now. Stuff like Queen (always a big part of my life), Meat Loaf, etc. |

I grew up listening to classical music, not only listening but playing it too xD That's all my mom listened to.... My dad....God this is weird....anyways, all he liked was Hotel California so basically that's the only 'song' I grew up with....lol and thanks to my brother I started getting into classic rock a while ago! oh I also grew up listening to some horrible russian pop....:S:S:S but that was because of my uncle xD |

Mommy liked Elvis, Charlie Rich, John Denver and Barry Manilow. Daddy liked Willie Nelson. Then stepdad came along. He liked Queen, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Jethro Tull, The Eagles, Alan Parsons... So I grew up hearing a wide variety of stuff and my first personal musical tastes included Hall & Oates, Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Queen, Village People.. I basically became a music consumer just as disco was dying and it appealed to me a great deal, and of course it was Another One Bites the Dust that really got me into Queen. And I still enjoy a bit of all of that. |

My dad: Reggea and soul. My mum: 70s 80s Pop, Rock N Roll. Older Brother: Hip Hop, RnB and Rap. So basically a mixture of everything.... VH1 helped by introducing me to Queen and other Classic Rock bands. |
| eenaweena 23.11.2006 06:41 |
father: random stuff, mostly classical music, OPM and 70's rock. mother: jazz, the old kind of RNB, pop, disco, 80's music. FYI: she knows body language, but she didn't know it was by Queen. |

Well, I never really grew up listening to any music. My dad only played his music in the car...and I never drove in his car that much. My mom listened to all sorts of crap, but only in her room. She never had it loud enough to hear from outside her room. I kinda grew up musicless. :(.....but, as to what I listened to before I listened to Queen *hangs head in shame* I was just like the other 5th graders....Hilary Duff and other crappy artists(if you can call them artists xD). I never did fall for the boy bands....I can't belive that I listened to that crap. :O *hangs head in more shame* Oh my God...I'm such a loser.... :( Edit: Wait...I'm only 13! I'm not "grown up" yet! xD Well, my mom plays music in her car because she got a new CD player installed...so...she listens to country and stuff. So..I guess I'm kinda growing up with country music...ewwww! I hate country! Well, it's her car so she gets to pick the music...;_; |

I grew up with Queen, Annie Lennox, Dragon, Eric Clapton and dare I admit it, the Spice Girls. At my school, you were either in club Spice Girls or club B*Witched. How sad is that! |
| SK 23.11.2006 20:57 |
Bob Dylan,Queen,Beatles(And Solo stuff),Rolling Stones,David Bowie,The Who etc etc |
| Lisser 23.11.2006 23:41 |
My favorites when I was younger were Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, and Cyndi Lauper. My parents liked all 60s stuff. |
| Donna13 23.11.2006 23:55 |
My mom is a pianist and organist - so lots of classical music as well as piano lessons for me, of course. I listened to so much music - but just stuff on the radio mostly ... not until Queen did I want to get all the music of one group. |

My mum listens to Queen, so I am growing up with that. And opera. |
| Maruga 24.11.2006 08:13 |
Let me see... Latin rock, like Soda Stereo, Los Prisioneros, etc... Music from the 60's (yeah, i'm not that old, but my parents listened that kind of music). |

My dad's a band director so I followed his band a lot when I was around him. I pretty much got influenced by jazz and classical music when I was a kid. My sister and my mother were the ones who were into all those shitty boy bands. Thanks to my dad he got me started on the trumpet and I got even more into jazz and classical stuff. Eventually my friends got me into heavy metal, hard rock, etc. Basically all the good stuff. Anyway, I heard Queen on the radio this one day and I asked my friend who this is. And he told me it was Queen. Right after I found out about Queen I rushed out to Best Buy and bought the band's greatest hits. That was my first rock album and my most memorable. I'd sit on my bed and seduce myself to Queen. After Queen's greatest hits I started exploring the rest of the rock world. And here I am! A 17 year old rocker who still can't get enough of music and its endless boundaries... |

Well, my mother has always been a beatles fan, she still almost faints at the sight of Paul Mcartney! And she liked country stuff like Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, and Dolly Parton, when i was a kid. My fathers side of the family mostly likes spanish music. |

*cries* I grew up listening to..the Backstreet Boys and Brittany Spears! *cries more* My childhood is such a sad story..no good music.. |

My dad is brilliant for this kind of thing: He likes his 60s rock n' roll and 70s hard driving rock and a bit of glam too. But he can appreciate my mum's music too, which is much more poppy. AND he loves all these newer bands like Muse (yes I know they've been around for a while). I actually think that, between Mum and Dad, the only music neither can stand is the likes of the Pussycat Dolls. Ergo when the time came that I should use iTunes and Mum was saying, 'Your iPod, your money! However I'll charge you half if it's a song I like.' So I never downloaded any crappy 'girl/boyband' material and have grown to despise it. Unfortunately that appears to be all the 4th years listen to and they're the ones in charge of the stereo in the cloakroom (I'd rather have NO music than the shit that blares out of that thing!) |

When I was really little, my parents listened to what would be called now "Adult Easy Listening"...you know, Phil Collins, Elton John, that kind of stuff. When I was about 14 or so they both switched over to country, so I grew up mostly with country western stuff. Now that I'm out of the house, Mom is going back into her 60's stuff (Hall and Oates, etc) and Dad is sticking pretty much with country, although he does venture into classic rock (I recently found a Led Zepplin CD in his car!) and getting back to his childhood with trumpet music (Chris Botti mainly). Me, I grew up listening mostly to the "new" stuff that was coming out at the time...typical 80's and 90's Pop and boy bands (yes..that includes NKOTB). But I had cousins who listened to Metallica, and I got into Queen when I was around 15 or so. I still have a soft spot in my heart for Chorales, Masses and Arias, along with Broadway. But as a general rule, now I'm getting into the older classic rock (although I'm still a sucker for Power Ballads of the 80's). About the only thing I won't listen to is rap (it isn't music), jazz (my brain can't follow it) and anything older than about 1955. |

First, I would like to say hello to all of you, because I'm new at this wonderful place :) My early years are the years of The beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Presley and Queen ofcourse :) And I thank my parents for that :) Than I started to listen to all this pop crap, but it lasted only for a few years and I came back to rock agai :) When I ask any Queen fan about his "music history", they say nearly the same :) |

My mom's the biggest Zeppelin fan ever so I grew up on Zeppelin. I also grew up on the Beatles (the only band I've loved consistently for 17 years) and classical music (mozart mostly) and country...which I'm over thank god...even though I like Patsy Cline a lot. |
