Music you grew up with ...

Ani, an eclectic trip down memory lane with those

TA and Bella, thanks for those detailed posts ...

I grew up with pretty much the same range of stuff around as all of you have mentiond as well - not surprising and probably true of many of us ... music plays a strong role in our culture. There was also the euro polkas my Dutch grandfather, father and uncle would play on their instruments at family gatherings. I love the piano accordian to this day



Divinyls ...

So far I am so loving listening to everyone's songs! Talk about some memories...

Some of my first memories of music as a child of 6+ years are these two songs I sang with my family in the car whenever we went on a longer car trip or vacation.

I refuse to participate in this thread on the grounds that I would be here all day.

And the fact that I started a similar thread at RD.net a couple of years ago.

As you were ...

Sorry, I iz not feeling well right now. Normal posting service will resume whenever this headache recedes, which going on past experience might take a very long time.

But for the record: I grew up listening to whatever was on the radio, and whatever my father listened to (Perry Como anyone?). That was when I was really young, as in knee-high to a grasshopper. So who knows what might come crawling out of the woodwork. You have been warned.

My mum was mostly into Rock N' Roll, 60's pop, 70's pop, glam rock, and some dreadful stuff from the 80s and 90s which I'm not going to bother myself trying to remember. My dad was heavily into Disco which has lead to trauma I'm still trying to recover from. Unfortunately my local pub jukebox refuses to play anything other than Disco and 80's pop which hasn't helped at all. But for the sake of this thread:



Stuff I actually remember hearing as a kid was what as popular at the time...which was Britpop.



My mum was also heavily into U2 at the time

Luckily, when I was 14 I discovered rock music (AC/DC, Led Zep) and from there everything else. The only band I listen to which my mum does is Big Country who are in my opinion highly underrated.

I grew up with Merle Haggard and the like on one side and Al Green and such on the other. Decided on Al Green...

Not even the disco craze of the late 1970's?

A bit before my time, in that I wouldn't have had a choice of what to listen to back in 1973 (or known any better).
