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.

Ride the Lightning by Metallica

My dad liked to occasionally play his records or CDs as loud as he could. He'd say he was trying to break the windows.

I remember being young and being absolutely terrified of the intro to a Rob Zombie album where it's a young girl talking all creepy. Used to run away and hold over my ears lol.
