RobC Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Technically at 41 , you should be asking my kids what I listen to , er.. some band called Coldplay , Faithless , Linkin Park , Strokes , Oasis , Goldfrapp , U2 , Hard Fi , Razorlight but mostly dance tunes really and slipping into old git records -> ELO , Smiths . For my mother , time stopped when Abba released their Greatest Hits , at any given time of year , their cd will be playing in her car , bit of a shame as she went to loads of gigs when she was younger , Beatles , Doors , Stevie Wonder ah well , at least we arent having cringing conversations about music anyway and my Dad - nowt .

Cirrus Minor Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 My father is a big Pink Floyd fan. He also listens to Led Zeppelin, Porcupine Tree, Muse and Radiohead. My mother is pretty keen on Italian variety, that I totally loathe. Anyway, both my parents listen to French singers that you all probably don't know, but I love : Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Renaud, Benabar, Cabrel...

I'm not the greatest fan of RHCP, for example, but I think most people regard them as being pretty "cool". Most definitely uncool are manufactured bands and singers such as Take That, Wastelife, Girls Aloud and Britney Spears, for example.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
