[Moods For Mallards]

Hmmm.

- Neil Young
- A Woman's Heart and all the individuals on the comp
- Paul Brady
- CCR
- A good few Demis Rousseau (sp?) records that never got played cus the record player was broken
- Garth Brooks
- Some Rolling Stones bits and pieces

Things we never had were The Beatles. Bar a few songs on radio, I didn't really know any Beatles until I was 17.

When my dad spoke of music, he always mentioned Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash and Barclay James Harvest. But they were never around the house. So he was in the hard rock camp when growing up.
I think mum was a regular Beatles and 60s stuff gal.

What about Rafferty & Connolly?

I remember calling to a mates house for band practice when I was a kid, long hair, army surplus parka, heavy metal patches, guitar in hand... and a delivery guy pulled up and asked me if I liked Daniel O'Donell.."he has a lovely voice"

That was an odd thing for the delivery guy to do

 

[David Kronenbourg]

CCR
The Flying Burrito Brothers
CSNY
Neil Young
Dylan
The Byrds
Dr John
The Band

Dad has Vinyl from Neil young/ Stones/ Dylan/ Bowie/ Who/ some singer called Melanie/ Nana mouskouri (no idea why)

Mum has some Enya tapes

There's also a christmas album somewhere in the house, dunno who owns it...

Nana has a couple of funky tracks plus one or two nice folky bits e.g I Gave My Love A Cherry. The ratio of crud:cool is still huge but don't write her off totally.

I regret never doing anything like that in my time as delivery man

My parents' record collection was beyond brutal. One Beach Boys album, lots of dodgy C&W and some stuff by a Portuguese Eurovision winner. Also a load of Ken Dodd albums, although my mother swears blind these belonged to my aunt. My mother also claims she was too young to be into the Beatles <sceptical>. My dad's taste in music is best summed up by his statement that "Abba were the best band ever" but he doesn't seem to have bought any of their records. These days my mum still listens to dodgy C&W (including Daniel O'Donnell), with a bit of Roy Orbison or Elvis thrown in. My dad mostly listens to the radio and as such has a bewilderingly in-depth knowledge of the lyrics of Westlife, The Killers and various X-Factor winners.

I bought a Daniel O'Donnell birthday card for my sister's 50th recently. They have them in the card shop on grafton st. It was over €9 which I didn't notice before taking it to the till. It seems kinda tongue-in-cheek but not so much that fans couldn't take it seriously. When you open the card daniel sings happy birthday to you

... all that was kicking about the gaf when I was young was Top Of The Tots Pop Party & Wally Whyton's 50 Children's all time Favourites, both buckled from being left against radiators.... Grim...
... having said that I did discover great things through the record collection of a friend's auld lad.... The History of The Byrds, The Freewheewlin' Bob Dylan, Relics by Pink Floyd and the soundtracks to 2001 A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange...

 

[nlgbbbblth]

There's a good break on the Whyton. Tots = poor.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Consisted of about 30 45's, most of which I have now. I only remember one album, Bagatelle.

I destroyed all my parents records, running then back and forth on the needle, and busting them on my knee. And I remember it. Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, CSNY, the Kinks, all that shit. Good times

If I owned and vinyl I'd get a vasectomy on principal.
