"Grew up" listening to 80's hair metal and all the stereotypical rock from that era. Still listen to it on occasion, super nostalgic. Man, when those vocalist hit those high notes. Always gives me goose bumps and makes me laugh, i love it so much.

Classical music: my parents weren't into pop music at all. Also, a much-loved record of music played on Renaissance instruments such as shawms and crumhorns: I managed to find the same record on eBay, and enjoyed the nostalgia of playing it.

The only pop songs I heard were old ones. A record popular with many people my age (child of the 80s) was "All Aboard", which had lots of oldies and goodies. One song from it which I loved was Morningtown Ride by the Seekers.

Beatles man, Beatles, (mostly). As a kid of the 1960s us little ones (as also the teen ages) were just mad about the Beatles (mainly). Yea, yea, yea.

My parents played classic rock from 50's on up to whatever was considered pop from then on in the 80''s. My brother and I were immediately into hip hop (wasn't called that way back then 🤔) with early releases from Run DMC and Jeru The Damaja on vinyl we completely wore out. I mostly listen to
MF DOOM and Lee Hazelwood nowadays. Two geniuses dearly departed 😓

My kids got Boowa & Kwala which is an educational/creativity website, but with lots of cute original songs too, and Baby Einstein CD's .
