We Are Family

A thread from yesterday that should have its own post:

How much has your family influenced your listening habits? Are you an older/younger/middle sibling, or an only child? Are your musical tastes anything like your parents'?

I am quite clichéd in this matter: lapped up everything my older sister played to me (madonna/grebo/motown/rave/britpop) and totally refused to acknowledge my parents as liking any decent music at all. Mum was given to listening to Simply Red and M People on repeat though so this is understandable. But amongst my Dad's Bill Wyman & Dire Straits albums he owned a Snap! CD! OMG!!!

When I was little Dad's music taste was definitely the shadows, pink floyd, stones etc - no cliff. I found myself listening to 'Tower of strength' the other day and liking it. Later he was listening to Motown. Mother mainly classical music at this point. I was dragged to concerts to hear classical / chamber music plus her singing choral. They also wanted me to be piggin concert pianist just cause I played a harpsichord once?! Younger sister has had influence in bringing me back to pop - as I was already suffering classic boredofindie symptoms.
