When I was a kid my parents were very conservative and very reluctant to change. I know that my father once told my oldest sister that the Beatles were just a fad when they first hit it big in the US. So they did not embrace much of the music my older sister's enjoyed and the music I listened to as I got older. As time went on , they did enjoy artists such as the Carpenters and John Denver but for the most part couldn't connect to the music that my sister's and I listened to. There were exceptions though.
