Speaking of Oldies, I think the "oldies" in english spoken area did not grow up with German Schlager and might be a bit cooler than the German Oldies... Wink

And even Conny Francis and Roger Whitaker sounds less embarracing in english Wink

(at least for German ears)

My mom must be a special case. Most women in her age are into Elvis if they are at least a bit cool. But most are into the german (very embarracing) pendants of Elvis: Peter Kraus and Ted Herold affraid

But even my old Granny when she was still alive was into cool music. She liked "Shine on you crazy Diamond" Very Happy

Just pulling your leg, Leo. And Tull are indeed Gods. One of the first albums I ever bought was Heavy Horses. Been a fan ever since. Very Happy

Billy Joel (mum) or Simply Red (dad). I had a tough childhood.

Okay, that's a little bit of a lie, my dads music taste isn't actually that bad and we mostly listened to Motown, 70s power ballads and 80s soul, but c'mon, BILLY JOEL

My mum used to force me to listen to ABBA non stop... and my dad did the same with Meatloaf.
Oh what a childhood. Rolling Eyes

Simon and Garfunkel and Phil Collins mostly.
Nowadays my mother listens to 3FM (the Dutch equivalent of Radio 1 I think) and really likes Snow Patrol.

I think it's cool that I went with my parents to see Art Garfunkel and later I took my mum to see Snow Patrol.

Have to really think back on this one as it's quite a long -time ago !

I seem to remember my Dad being into groups likes The Inkspots and The Platters. Glenn Miller was popular in the home also. As was The King ofcourse.

I have records by the above in my collection, so must have had an impact on me .

The Bachelors were another fave...I remember their version of "Puff the Magic Dragon" being played alot !

Not sure my Mum was much into music though.

Mam was into Elvis, Dickie Valentine (all together now, "Who?!"), Mario Lanza, Jim Reeves and general Radio 2 fodder that I remember from the early 70's onwards. Many's the time I remember getting ready for school with Diana Ross & The Supremes "The Happening" blaring out of the Rediffusion telly.

Dad 's music-buying habits were very sporadic. He'd be one those who go, "Who's that?" and a day or two he'd turn up with a 7" of some dodgy song or other. ELO, "Mr Blue Sky", Darts "Duke of Earl", Boney M "Rasputin"... you get the picture. That and dreadful western film soundtracks! affraid
