Do you like your Dad's music?

... maybe Jazz was his generation's Punk?

Interesting thought. After all, they're both st.

I have very happy memories punting along in various terrible cars with my dad listening to all sorts of stuff. Lots of Beatles, Elvis, Cliff and the Shadows. Glen Campbell, Beach Boys, Carpenters. A lot of great songwriters singing great songs (well apart from Cliff and Elvis). It did go downhill quite rapidly when the Shadows started playing instrumental versions of any old MOR rubbish that Hank could find. He then went onto far worse things, which I could not possibly comment on. A few years ago I took him to see the Shadows... they were brilliant.

I'm happy to report that both of my children appreciate a lot of the stuff I listen to (especially my Zep mad son). Although demoing a guitar the other day in millers in Cambridge. I played a slightly angry version of Shake it Off (Taylor Swift)which made my daughter leave the shop in horror.

Over the years I've come to love a lot of my Dad's choice of music (especially as we both play guitar). Including:

Led Zep
Dire Straits
Clapton
Lots of random blues guitarists
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
Dave Brubeck
Steely Dan
Pink Floyd

My father is 81 so I grew up with big band stuff and songs from the musicals. I hated all of his music. Fast forward and my son likes Editors and The Stone Roses but doesn't like much else that I listen to.
