Grew up with parents listening to most of the jazz great and I went on to soul, Motown, ska and reggae. My fave at the moment is smooth jazz mostly by Paul Hardcastle.

I went through phases - electric folky (Steeleye Span & Fairport Convention in particular) then stuff to get stoned to (Genesis, Supertramp etc) then New Wave (Stranglers in particular) then euphoric trance stuff, Now it's just everything except current.

My favourites were Alma Cogan and Frankie Vaughan.

Mum liked Anthony Newley; Dad liked Shirley Bassey and Jim Reeves and they both liked Joan Sutherland, Mario Lanza and Jussi Boerling (sp ?) but Mum's younger brother who lived with us and was a "ted" liked Buddy Holly and Elvis. This music appealed to me MUCH more and I was forever hooked on rock 'n' roll. From the age of 12/13 I "discovered" the Stones and they have remained my favourites. AC/DC, Ramones, Rainbow, Oasis, Kasabian.

As a baby Mum told me that I'd only stop crying when the radio was on (I mention her with fondness its her Birthday today) She always liked Queen (I now know who to blame Xx) Elvis and the Boss, I remember a lot of Motown songs as well. as I got a little older it was Ska and Blondie as well as the aforementioned bands.... my mate used to do my head in with his thrash metal and Iron Maiden stuff.

My OH was always into rockabilly and still is. It's all he plays in the car. 1000s of songs that all sound the same by people I've never heard of.

Music has bobbed in an out of my life....but I've grown up with and stayed with Joan Baez and Irish folk.....x

[pastafreak]

My parents didn't listen to music...but my elder sister listened to Perry Como, Patrick Boole, and musicals. My brother introduced classical. My earliest likes were Paul Anka,The Everly Brothers, followed by first purchases that included Janice Joplin,The Doors,Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young,James Taylor...and all the '60s folkies...Joan Baez, Dylan,Judy Collins. I continued in a similar vein for years. When I moved to the UK I discovered Steeleye Span...having already been exposed to Fairport Convention by my English husband. There also followed an obsession with Capercaillie,Clannad and Enya plus all sorts of weird and wonderful world music.

[Caran]

I started with Tommy Steele, then on to Cliff Richards.
I loved all the rockers of the fifties.
Now I love anything by Queen and Rod Stewart.

[Jackdaw33]

Tommy Steele? That's going back a fair bit.

[pastafreak]

"Patrick Boole" ???
Where did that come from?
Pat Boone!

My maternal Grandmother would sing us old Music Hall songs, I'm sure some were bandy but we didn't notice.

My Mum was a fan of all the 40s/50s crooners , left me cold.

My dad was big on Brass Bands, marches especially - John Philip Sousa and so on , he also loved dance bands and we often went to watch those together.

My major love is Tamla Motown, followed by Northern Soul with a tendency to Dance/Trance when the mood takes me.
