I was in a fairly unique situation where I actually liked most of my parents' music. They were young when I was born (1968), thus I grew up with BeAtles, Hendrix, Led Zep, Floyd, JT, Dylan, Stevie Wonder, etc., etc. They weren't too keen on Metallica or Slayer but two of my brothers played guitar so they even came around to hear the merit in those, although they still didn't like the music.

It's kinda funny that my parents don't listen to entire albums much anymore, but every so often pick up on something when they come to my house. They've had me make them samplers on a few occasions now. Mostly alt-country songs from the likes of Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire, Wilco, Lucinda Williams, The Shins, Ugly Casanova, etc. Pretty cool, eh?
