My Dad was a pro Jazz drummer before I was born and I didn't like any of his music. I think he tried forcing it on me too early so I now take a dislike to jazzy stuff, even though I am sure I am missing a trick with it. The only Jazz I like, he classes as rubbish.
My Mum was a different story. She was into rock n roll, country and soul. Three albums that had a massive impact were the That'll Be the Day Soundtrack, Black Magic (a Stax soul compilation) and With the Beatles. I'd add Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Rolling Stones, The Animals and Dusty Springfield.
My own tastes came through the older sons of their parents friends - punk, New Wave, alternative and rock bands of the 1980s. I still like all of that eclectic mix. You're just unlikely to get me into Art Blakey now.
