One of the deciding factors in one's  music tastes (IMHO), whether it will be positively or negatively influence you in your musical endeavours....
 
I know only one choice might be a bit too few, but choose the main one
 
if you think i should open up the poll to multiple choice, I can always correct it Wink

Dad was the inspirer, with his cassettes of prog, classic rock, jazz & fusion or his classic vinyls. Mom is interested enough to come to concerts of mine or which sound most interesting, plus to catch some on TV. Neither listen to music on a daily basis, not even recreationally.

I voted whatever was on the radio. My parents had their favorite songs but were not that serious about it. My dad did enjoy the oldies stations that used to be around here, so he put that on a lot.

voted for jazz but it was usually more like Jazz related Ray Charles, Nat King Cole being their favorites, also some more bluesy stuff like BB King, Muddy Waters, Bonnie Riatt. Also crooners like Sinatra, Bing Crosbey or any rat pack stuff as well as Harry Conick Jr. My dad always liked the lighter side of 70s fusion as well as he had a love for jazz trumpet players from every era but my mom never let him play it with her around. Also The Beatles.

My dad listens to rock music, mostly classic rock (the who, the stones, etc) while my mom doesn't seem to have strong musical preferrences, usually only listening to the radio (which happens to be the classic rock station being thats the one my dad likes). Though she does like the old country and western stuff that my grandpa used to listen to when she was a kid.
 
So, I'll vote for rock.

My mother was into music hall (Chevalier, Piaf and Brel) and classical, athough she listened to the pop stations
 
My father was heavily into jazz (my choice on this poll) until I'd say 1969, and thec arrioval of Bitches Brew... I think that fiinished to demoralize him and he definitely turned to classical

Since my folks were pre-baby boomers their tastes were rather basic.  Mom wasn't a fan of much music at all unless it was sung in church but my dad loved cowboy music.  Not C&W so much because they sang about honky tonks, drinking and cheating, etc.  Cowboy music was Roy Rogers and Gene Autry kind of stuff about being out on the open range with your horse under the stars so that's what he tuned in when it was just me and him in the truck or car back in the 50s.

These days, my dad listens mainly to bluesy rock artists and bluegrass bands.  He listened to a bigger variety of rock music and jazz fusion when he was younger (teens through his 30s).  My mom rarely listens to music, but she often sings pop and Motown tunes around the house.

Thinking the poll question over, when I was younger I'd listen to children's music, then radio/rock music.  I can remember my dad always listening to records on his headphones when I was playing with my siblings in the basement.  Occasionally, he'd put the headphones on our ears.  He'd often listen to ELO, Herbie Hancock, and a wide range of 70s rock artists.

Nothing absolutely nothing. I donīt recall listening to music with my parents ever. The radio was on sometimes but we never talked about the music. I later discovered my parentīs album and single collections and found out that my mum loved Hermit Hermits and my dad loved The Kinks, but again they never really listened to the music with me. Jazz was a complete no no in my house. My parents canīt stand the sound of jazz unless itīs of the most watered down model. The rest sounds like pling plond to their ears. They are certainly not responsible for me being interesting in experimental/ progressive/ adventurous music (among other things) thatīs for sure.

My Grandma had serious vinyl collection (still 78 RPM vinyl) from 60-70s, but all - easy listening,a bit of folk and Gypsy romances. Being a child, I liked to listen them all few times per year,usually during New Year day and some other eves.

Parents never were too  much interested in music but sometimes went to see some popular concerts . Watching concerts on TV during eves was strong tradition though. In fact all the music I heard till my teens was mostly easy-listening.

99% classical
I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

If it said only "Folk", I would have asked what kind of folk do you have in mind, but having it as "Folk / Country", it really looks like it's referring to the modern genres.
