[quote=Anonymous]My parents would have been 79 this year if they were still alive.  They both loved a lot of different types of music, though they mostly tended to play folk and bluegrass when we were growing up.  They were interested in whatever we were listening to when we were kids--my dad even got into our heavy metal phase in the 80s (he liked the Scorpions and Iron Maiden the best from that era).  My mom was very eclectic in the final years of her life.  She introduced me to Butch Hancock and Joe Ely, the Drive by Truckers, and the Magnetic Fields.  She was forever grateful that I introduced her to James McMurtry and Todd Snider.

I often wonder if any of the music we played when our kids were little will shape the music they like when they are older.  They mostly listen to rap.  My eldest is really into Miranda Lambert as well though, so maybe we have had some influence.  I wouldn't have thought it possible, but I have come to love some rap songs and artists after years of them insisting that I listen to their favorites. [/quote]
