well am 57 years young now. my father died 23 years ago. He really liked classic- music. , but ONE TIME--he listenened to "Stones"-Music. was back in 1966.
"As tears go by"---and he said"The middle part is stolen by johann sebastian bach!!

my mother--87 now--prefer the beatles!

I am a stones-fan since 1964--and i am sure----they will roll on!

under the boardwalk---down by the sea

Hell NO !

No, they liked Frank Sinatra and George Formby...

2 1 2 0

mum liked alot of the good sixties stuff, including the lads.

yeah until they put out their satanic majesties request lol

def-not

My mom, bless her heart loves them. That's where I got my obsession from.

I'm 45 and one of my earliest memories is of seeing a band on Top of the Pops with the lead singer in a pink satin suit. I didn' know it at the time but I was watching the Stones perform Brown Sugar!

My mother does,since she was with her 15 years old daughter in June 76 & saw the Stones on live .
My mother likes very much Sir Jagger.
My father is into classic music & Frankie -not the one that goes to Hollywood but Mr Sinatra.



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

Both of mine do. Though Dad is a bigger fan., his fav...........

Beggars Banquet!

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

No, they liked Sinatra and similar. After a lifetime of enjoying classical music, my dad developed a taste for Mantovani.

However, they bought me a Marantz stereo with Fisher speakers (my pride and joy), gave me an allowance so I could buy all the albums I wanted, put up with the constant noise, and drove me to concerts and picked me up.

First Stones records I ever heard were my Dad's Stones records. Through the Past Darkly; Hot Rocks and Sticky Fingers

no way, and they're not even that much younger. My mother developed a fondness for the Beatles, but it was after the fact.

I'm 35 and it was through my mum that I found the Stones (my dad, not so much).

My father was a jazz musician and hated Rock & Roll. After seeing them on Ed Sullivan (Time Is On My Side) he called them 'The Strolling Bones'. He liked to tell me that they had to pump cum out of Mick Jagger's stomach on his wedding night. (Same story is told with different rock stars).

I got my revenge, subtly. I asked him if there were any rock stars he respected. He thought for a minute and said, "I kind of liked that Billy Preston. What's he doing now?"

"Playing for the Rolling Stones." Silence.

My parents used to play START ME UP when I was little. So when I hear it I think of stuff like eating Donkey Kong breakfast cereal and my sister throwing a fit for a Cabbage Patch Doll.

Hell no, not in 1978 and 79 when I first starte my obsession... the Stones really were bad boys then. Later on, my parents realized that there was worse I could have been listening to. The Stones became mainstream and my dad eventually started to refer to Mick and Keith as "Los Viejitos" aka, "The Old Men"......

Heck YEAH ....esp MUM.....



ROCKMAN

Uh, No. Mom HATED the Stones.

Dad - weren't they around in the sixties like that John Lennon guy?

Yes my mom does, shes only 50 lol she'll kill me for pubicly displaying her age, but yeah shes a fan, not as big as me but still, she saw them two times in fact :/

My father likes them; the first Stones records I ever got to spin was his Decca vinyls.....especially Rolled Gold. Think he lost interest after Sticky Fingers, tho. And he totally lost interest after I purchased him Dirty Work in 1986 - that was a bad move

nope...but they still bought me Stones records for Christmas.


IORR............but I like it!

I was once in a car with a group of people, one of whom was a total jazz snob. On the radio came WAITING ON A FRIEND and this jazz snob (who knew it was the Stones and also knew me and another person in the car loved the Stones) said, "This is the most AWFUL music. How anyone can like this crap I don't know!" And I said, "Do you know who that is playing sax?"

"No."

"Sonny Rollins!"

That shut up this jazz snob good!

My mum is the same age as Mick Jagger, & was / is a Stones fan to a certain extent, though her main interest (like Keith) is probably reggae. My dad (who I haven't seen for years) always preferred Elvis & Hank Williams.

hell NO - i was brought up proper!

I got into the Stones as a kid during the 60s (I was born in '63) thanks to the well-worn copies of my mum's 'Big Hits' & 'Through The Past Darkly'.

I told my mom that Satisfaction came out in '65 awhile back, and she's like 'what? they've been around longer than I thought' lol

My dad himself is a big stones-fan so, yeah!

Nice

When I was growing up, no. But I took my Mom to the Glendale, AZ show in 2004 (or whenever it was) and she danced in the aisle (she was 70 at the time). She also was very moved by Keith's performance of "Slipping Away"...Still working on Dad.

I am the parent

kids tolerate them, but since its ingrained in their heads, I did my job in passing it on....
