How Your Father Influenced The Music You Love [Infographic]
UPDATED – There are are many reasons why you listen to the music you do today. But for many, one of their influences was the music that their father played on the home stereo or maybe a concert Dad took them to. Perhaps you loved it, or maybe you swore to never listen to anything like it again. (Share your own stories below.) Either way, it had an effect. The folks at multi-room music system makers Sonos asked: What do dear old dad’s listening habits say about the artists in your repertoire? In honor of Father’s Day, they created this chart to provide some answers.

Share a memory of music with your father.
How did your Dad influence your musical tastes?
That is a cool chart and I could really relate
yes that is awessome, pretty funny but true.
The only two on there that I like are Mozart and Webber.
Mozart:
Dad Listened to Beethoven
I was in an accelerated education program
I am a Classically Trained Musician
I did not study Piano
I am not rebellious
Therefore I like Mozart
Andrew Lloyd Webber:
Dad Listened to Beethoven
I was in an accelerated education program
I am not a Classically Trained Musician
I was in theatre/drama in high school
Therefore I like Webber
My dad didn’t listen to beethoven, he listened to christian hymns and christian soft rock. I wasn’t in any accelerated education programs, though they almost got me a tutor instead of school, I did study piano, and I am rebellious. Oh, and I’m not a classically trained musician. I was taught how to play is all. And I wasn’t in theatre or drama in high school.
But I like mozart and webber. The rest of the options were crap.
so wait… if you father was into iron maiden, a NWOBHM band, then you probably listen to glam metal?? what a crock of shit. happy fucking fathers day
