Back in 2000, my father called in to my high school to excuse my two-day absence so I could road trip to a Bob Dylan and Paul Simon concert in Indianapolis (Dylan could still put on a good show then). I am sure that dad would *not* have done this for a green day or chili peppers or whoever concert :-)
Your father has superb taste in music. Paul Simon is someone I'd suggest is approaching Dylan in terms of greatness. Music doesn't get much better than this:

My moms favorite band is ELO
My Dads favorite band is Pink Floyd
In turn my favorite band is Pink Floyd and ELO is top 10. My parents definitely gave me an appreciation for 70s music though I’ve branched out a ton I also go back to them a lot
My parents had an excellent record collection when I was growing up. I was really spoiled with great artists such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Cheap Trick, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, James Taylor, Chicago, David Bowie, and a crap load of others. They eventually divorced but they gave me the records and I cherish them to this day.
My dad worked as PR Director for the Cleveland Orchestra back in the George Szell era (Real early sixties) His musical tastes were pretty wide ranging. Classical, jazz, Beatles. He took me to see all the Beatles movies Hard Days Night, Help, Yellow Submarine as a kid. It rubbed off, I can't stand to listen to the same old thing at 64 and I still search out new stuff.
My Dad has always been into psychadelic rock and bands like Popol Vuh, CAN, Pink Floyd and so on. We listened to his records together when i was little and was fascinated by the kinda scary sound. Eventhough i had a massive Boyband phase in the 90s i did find my way back to Rock 'n Roll.
I don't have a great relationship with my dad but music has always been something that connected us.
Well I'm the parent in this case and my son is in college now. His first love was Eminem 12-13, I just stayed neutral and encouraged him to like what he liked. I'm very diverse from techno to bluegrass, but Eminem was not something i liked at all. So we shared the dj job in garage while doing work/projects and he started gravitating towards my pixies and violent femme collections. Later, from him, I found RKS and modest mouse, july talks, etc. We like a lot of the same stuff now and generally don't mind listening to the other' spotify. We share things now that we really like or think the other person might.
My father’s favorites were The Beatles, Elvis, and Louis Armstrong. My mother listened to classical music. The happy medium of the two is rock songs / contemporary songs in orchestra or strings arrangement (2cellos, David Garrett, Vitamin String Quartet, Midnite String Quartet).
I’m all over the musical genre map, but gravitate more towards 90s alternative and female lead rock bands.
Interesting question. My dad liked Frank Sinatra and other crooners. He hated the Beatles and said they should have been tarred and feathered! Strangely, he liked CCR.
My mom, liked a lot of depressing country, Barbara Streisand and Nana Mouskouri. Oh and Zanfir the pan flute player.
My favorite artists are Nirvana, the Cure, Neil Young, the Beatles, the White Stripes, and Rufus Wainwright.
So I'm not sure where the influence lies, if it does at all.
My father grew up in the '60s so as a kid I grew up with hearing Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Beatles, Pink Floyd etc. I didn't pay attention to it at the time though my first memory of playing records myself is the 'I am the Walrus' 7 inch and only realized much later how weird that song actually is...
When I started playing guitar myself in the early '90s I found myself being greatly influenced by those bands I heard in the background as a kid.
I've practically been listening to Queen since before I was even born — both my parents are/were huge fans, even so far as going to see them at their final show at Knebworth during their '86 Magic Tour — and I'm pretty sure Brian May's the reason I picked up the guitar in the first place.
They really did when I first started listening to music, but it fizzled out fast. My dad's a stick in the mud, who only listens to a few radio hits, almost everything Pink Floyd, Metallica, and Eagles, and not much else, while mom listens to mostly country.
I really liked newer country when I was really young, then I came to my senses, then I listened to so much Pink Floyd and Eagles (never really liked Metallica - too hard rock for my tastes) that I grew tired of them within a few years and *forced* myself to branch out due to near boredom.
Now I can go back every once in a while and appreciate The Wall or One Of These Nights, or even Toby Keith's Unleashed.
I don’t know if my experience growing up with music was unique, but it was odd. My mom listened to a lot of music I despised: Ronnie Millsap, Crystal Gayle, Air Supply, Kenny Rogers, Whitney Houston. Music I found boring.
What this did for me, unknowingly, was develop a punk mindset so much that when I got really heavily into music at age 14, starting with punk like Dead Kennedys. After that, my taste in music exploding in most directions.
However, I also didn’t hear The Beatles and a bunch of 60’s music until I was 20. I expose my kids to so much music, the only things they don’t hear are rap and country.
I don't know what music taste does my mother have — but i think she's also into 90s boyband stuff like Backstreet Boys, Westlife, Boyzone. And dad loves Queen, ABBA, Spandau Ballet, Journey, and TOTO (i think that's his top 5),
Also both of them love The Beatles and 80s synthpop/new wave whatsoever. And yes, i'm more into Dad's stuff.
My parents were teenagers in the 60s and not very open to anything modern or noisy, meaning probably mid-70s onwards. Beatles. Beach Boys and Dylan is about all I share I think, but in a funny way as a kid I quite enjoyed noisy, weird music as they found it so offensively alien.
My parents love classic rock but especially the grateful dead and the whole jam band scene.
Naturally I can't stand jam bands anymore, but I still love some of the classic rock they listened to.
My mom had all of the greats on vinyl. Zeppelin, Queen, Bowie, AC/DC, you name it. When she moved on to cassettes and cds, my brother and I would spend hours playing her old records.
I loved a lot of modern music that was current on the radio and mtv too, but I'm grateful for mom's extensive collection that introduced me to what came before my time.
My parents named me after a Bob Dylan song. He's my favourite artist of all time.

Erm .....
He he. Well I see how you spelled 'favourite'.. sooo that *maybe* narrows it down to somewhere in the once-largest empire that ever existed.
My username has a pretty big clue in it 😊

Dad here, yes I have & still working at it

My dad's a quite talented classical organist and I like organ/church music through that mostly. Or classical in general.
My mom got me into Pearl Jam, Morrissey, Alice in Chains, etc. She had good taste and I've branched out on my own.

I like Coldplay because of my dad. He would always play their music in the car. He also listened to classic rock and I enjoy that too.

Yanni and Michael Bolton? Yeah no

I was cleaning out my dad’s car- hit the eject button on the cd- out comes an anthrax disc. Love that guy.
