Im brainwashing my kids into the same kind of music, but my 13 year old son is really trying to annoy me, and is intent on listening to Kanye West, Chris Brown, NeYo, and all that other shite.....that sounds as if the same record is on for the entire 45min CD, and insists on listening to Virgin when visiting me in Dubai

What do I do to make him see the errors of his ways and dump the 'RnB shite ?

And, who / what artist influenced your musical tastes ?

my dad loved the beatles and my mam Elvis, my dad was into jimmy hendrix, the kinks and all that, and my mam a lot of joan baez and protest songs and all that sort of stuff, plus the stones as well,

so not bad growing up with all of that really, althoguh I had to listen to radio 2 every morning for years before school and before Terry Wogan there really was a list of appalling DJs on.

The time of the superb McEwans and tennants lager adverts. We had hipsway, the blue nile, river detectives, love and money, big dish, KMO, Hue and Cry and many more.

Left school and musical taste in the early 90's moved onto the rave/house scene hardcore uproar etc. Used to go up to cream in Liverpool most weekends.

Then I guess I moved into the madchester scene albeit when it was nearly over I.e oasis, stone roses.

But now funnily enough I listen to a lot of northside, jesus jones, inspiral carpets

Guess I've not really been influenced by anyone persay, but just the circumstances I have found myself in.

Christ the old man still listens to jimmy shand fae auchtermuchty
