Have your parents ever got hooked on your music?

I ask this beause after I played a few tracks off of the most recent Kanye album, my Mom (who doesn't typically listen to rap) actually came to lke it more than do (and I rank that album in my top albums of all time) even if alot of the vulgarity doesn't sit well with her.

Do any of you have any similar experiences?

Not really. My mom has come to like some of the very mainstream bands that I also like (Daughtry, Hedley, Black Eyed Peas) but the vast majority of the music I listen to (punk/alternative rock) my parents have no interest in.

My parents and I share a lot of similarities in our music tastes.

Radiohead, The Beatles, Neil Young, Sufjan Stevens, Talking Heads, Frank Zappa, Doves...

I got them into some artists (Radiohead, Sufjan), they got me into others (Neil Young, Zappa).

Most of the music that I listen to I got from my dad's record collection...when I was a young lad I'd always listen to the records he had of the Beach boys, Beatles, Neil Young, Buddy Holly etc..

So...yes:P

That won't happen, ever.

I started into classic rock through my dad's musical preferences and stayed there for a good 3-4 years. My parents don't like much of what i listen to now, but my mother seemed to like Sigur Ros to some extent when I started listening to them.

kinda the opposite for me.

i get my love for Classic rock/rock from my dad.

No, they don't respect my music taste at all. :P They usually dismiss anything I listen to before they even give it a chance. JML897

I listen to a lot of extreme metal. My dad respects it since he recognizes the close similarities to classical and certain forms of jazz.

My mom has only been impressed with some of the solos. She always asks me to play them on guitar/bass for her. She also enjoys all the stuff I listen to that isn't metal (indie, folk, prog, noise rock/pop). She doesn't really like the filthier dubstep or electronic music I listen to though.

No, my mom constantly tells me that metal is the devil's music.rockguy92

Well there is alot of satanism involved with it, so she isn't totally wrong.

No but I got my brother into classical and jazz.

My mom and i like alot of the same music...She even liked some Korn, disturbed, and like 2 slipknot song :D

It is. Do you think that Christ would listen to it?

No they haven't, thank God. That would be annoying.

My dad prefers the hip hop, rap, and some rock like my sister likes but my mom likes it all. She likes anything from lady gaga to metallica but none of them like metal.

I usually take CDs in the car, I think my mom said she liked Viva la Vida (the album) but my dad called it crap by track 3 :P.

I don't know what's up, but regarding some other bands I like, my mom actually told me I listen to "boring music".:|

Then the devil has good taste in music!

No...my parents are still stuck in the 60's and 70's. That's pretty much all they listen to.

My mom adores Iron Maiden, and basically all other metal bands I listen to.

No they hate my music. They like slow stuff or 80's or 60's pop rock music.

Black metal doesn't represent all metal.. imaps3fanboy

Never said it did... :s

My parents would never listen to any kind of metal, let alone death and doom metalimaps3fanboy

My mom grew up in the era of Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc, so in a way she's just rediscovering her passions. My dad on the other hand strikes down anything that's not Elvis.

Yes, my mom's gotten hooked on Daughtry and some other stuff I have before. And on the flipside, she got me into Journey, cIassic George Michael (now if only I could get INTO him) and some others.
