I'd say I'm probably closer to my mom than my dad musically. I don't even know if she listens to them anymore, but my mom enjoys Simon & Garfunkel and The Beatles on a ridiculously casual level. She also likes some showtunes, Barry Manilow, Elton John, and a few others, but she doesn't listen to music too seriously. My dad was into a lot of Jewish music. He mentioned to me once that he liked the Stones and (I think) Pete Seeger when he was younger. He also used to listen to the "oldies" station in the car, most of which he knew a great deal of. That's about all I know.
I never bothered exposing my parents to anything I listen to. They always seemed preoccupied with more important things. I don't think they'd enjoy it much anyway. They never seemed to mind what I was listening to either past the age of twelve.
