What Bands were you Raised on?

[HardRockSamurai]

Simple question really: what bands were you raised on?

For example: I was raised on Talking Heads and The Rolling Stones.

Think back to your childhood. What music do you remember hearing the most?

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was the official soundtrack to every family vacation I ever went on ever. It was awesome.

 

[El Poncho]

None at all, my parents didn't listen to alot of music in the house, or aroundme and as a result I don't listen to music all that much either.

 

[Raven's Nest]

Some glorious 80's classics and a big healthy dose of Led Zeppelin...

I haven't looked forward since...

 

[Frankydee]

Mostly The Beatles, Eagles, Zeppelin, Queen, etc etc.

lots of classic rock basically.

 

[BubbaJeff]

My dad brainwashed me with things like the Who, Led Zepplin and Madness...

AND I LOVED IT.

 

[orangebandguy]

60s bands like The Kinks and The Small Faces. Mod stuff generally.

 

[Lambi]

My dad listened to Queen. Now Queen is my favorite band.

 

[rampantcreature]

I was raised on the Oldies station here in NYC (101.1 CBSFM). They played everything from Elvis to the Mamas and the Papas to the Bee Gees to Pink Floyd. My dad was a Woodstock wannabe (couldn't be a hippie in a foreign Iron Curtain country), so there was plenty of the Who, Grateful Dead, and Clearance Clearwater in the house. Along with the Beatles and the Stones. And my mom brought ABBA into the mix...as well as classical music (Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss, Dvorak) and Czech folk songs.

I had a very varied but fulfilling musical upbringing.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I remember rocking out on Beethoven, Captain Jack, 2Unlimited, some weird War of the Worlds CD my dad liked to play and Ennio Morricone.

But there was never a lot of music on in our house, my parents were never musical people. So I had to discover music all by myself, which has resulted in almost schizophrenic taste for music, although classic rock and jazz have become my main genres over the years.

 

[Berethond]

The Berlin Philharmonic.
Right now, it's all about the Berethond Pentet.
It's epic.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

My dad's music: Tom Waits, Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen and a more black blues artists than I can remember like John Lee Hooker and B.B. King

My mom's music: Led Zeppeling, the Who, the Doors, Pink Floyd, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Leonard Cohen

 

[reg42]

The first rock related band I liked was Marilyn Manson, before that I listened to rap crap (opinion)

 

[Acier]

Talking Heads, Flaming Lips, and Nirvana are the big three.

 

[Froobyx]

Mummy was into all the 80's rock, so Def Leopard and stuff like that.

Then Daddy was into Bryan Adams and REM and stuff like that

 

[War Penguin]
