My Mum and Dad didn't have huge musical collections, but they definitely got me into listening to music, my Mum with the Carpenters, my Dad with Pink Floyd (and my Stepdad with Led Zep). My Stepdad correctly surmised that the Sisters of Mercy were Rolling Stones retreads in a way, which was nothing to what he thought of me listening to the Buttholes etc all, ha ha. As I was saying to Cantanky a few days ago, my Mum actually liked the Buttholes (weird, eh?), but she HATED the Caspar & Peter Brotzmann album. My Dad thinks Masonna's taking the piss ("sounds like a fucking Hoover, Melly!), but likes Radiohead etc. I've not had the nerve to ever play the Melly parents (holds up wank card) Whitehouse...
Having kids and genuinely liking their music is most cool - I'm sure (being kids and all that) it would horrify them, though....I could babysit them for you and Mrs Glice and send them to sleep with my "I saw the band God loads of times, I did" anecdotes.
