What music does your dad like? (lemmy.zip)

Can you name a song your dad listened to/listens to?

Why did you pick that song?

There are no rules around how you choose to pick a song! It could be something meaningful you as a kid or something he listens to now that annoys you!

I’ll go first.

Abadan by Genesis

When I was a kid my dad had a giant 200 disc CD player and he’d buy whole albums to out in it. There were always a lot of Genesis songs playing.

When he got a divorce, he lost most of that, but he always seemed to have Abacab album lying around. I asked him once and he told me why he thinks Abacab was one of the greatest songs ever written.

He's a massive fan if The Beatles. He has their entire discography on vinyl records in good condition. (He bought them in the 1970s; I don't know if that is more or less impressive).

He also likes Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzie, and The Horslips. He has a bunch of their records, too. There's also some Pink Floyd in there.
