We grow up listening to out parents' music and my mother and my father have music preferences as different as night and day. My father love slow rock while my mother loves ballads. However, they had some common favorite music artists like The Beatles.
My mother's favorite song is "How can I tell her" by Lobo and my father's favorite song is Jealous Guy by John Lennon

Hi Louise! Oh, not really. I am just a bit too inquisitive so I actually asked them that especially when I was just beginning to appreciate music and started to have favorite songs.

@nanayangel Hello Angel. It is okay. But now my dad likes "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran. He sings it to my mom.

My parents have both passed now and it's so long ago but I remember my mum liked 'You don't have to say you love me' by Dusty Springfield. I just can't remember my dad even listening to any music but I suppose he must have done!

Hi Paul! I know what you mean. You know how the older generation always seem to think that their music is way better than the music of the younger ones? It's like a cycle but I do love some old songs.

Hi Jessa! Thanks for your response. I haven't heard any of his songs so I might look it up when I feel like listening to new music. Any particular songs that you would recommend?

@Chazzygal I actually have one MLTR song that I like right now because it was the soundtrack of "The Healer". It's entitled My Eternal Love.

My parents both loved country music, which is where I get my love of it. Dad was a staunch nothing-but-country person, but mom was more adventurous: she like Elvis, and when I started listening to rock and roll in the mid-70s she enjoyed quite a few of Elton John's songs.
I never heard my dad mention his favorite song, but my mom's favorite was a Bill and Gloria Gaither song called "Because He Lives."

Hi there Flower! Cool music choices! I like a BoyzIIMen song. It's "On Bended Knee" - perhaps their greatest hit.
