I only have 1 tape in my car, Side A is Johnny Cash, Side B is Roy Orbison, it's probably been in there 3-4 months now, never get sick of it. Even my 3 year old daughter goes around the house singing I Got Stripes lol.

My dad loved Neil Diamond, The Corries, Slim Whitman, Perry Como, and Lonnie Donnigan(is that how his name is spelt). My mum loved Elvis, cringe Sydney Divine,and there was always the latest Top Of The Pops L.P. does anyone remember them, they were always stuck on the record player at parties and then the grown ups just had to dance.

Just rememberd the Johnie Cash L.P. live at Sanquentine prison where he sang My Name Is Sue, and in the background you could hear the inmates shouting. That L.P. was put on most sat nights after my dad came back from the pub and he would join in the songs with Johnie. from maxine

My Dad like Shirley Bassey, my Mum liked Matt Monro, Ken Dodd singers like that, which is probably where I got my taste in music from, strange for a 37 year old, I know. But true.

My dad liked Bing Crosby and my mum liked Frank Sinatra but they didn't listen to music at home when we were growing up. Nowadays, my mum (aged 87) listens to classical and opera.

Mostly horrible horrible tedious middle of the road ****. Dad's a fan of the big band thing so James Last was a favourite, Glenn Miller etc. These days it's those dreadful Sinatra wannabes like Michael Bubbly and Jamie Bleeding Cullum. To be absolutely fair, they did introduce me to Simon & Garfunkel. Also, Dad has enough taste to loathe James Blunt and the like. Mum goes mainly for the big singers, some of which are very good for what they are, some of which are Michael Ball.

Re: What music did your parents listen to?

My Dad went Elvis mad when he died. It was like being brainwashed. My Mum used to like Ultravox and went to see Midge Ure on his solo tour. I grew up listening to Madness and was constantly ribbed by my dad that they wouldn't last 5 minutes. 33 years on and he's admitted he was wrong.

Fortunately for my daughter, my music taste is vary varied (still love my 80's stuff though) so no chance of brainwashing.
