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.

My dad became a Christian Nationalist, but he loved Jim Croce when I was growing up.

He really liked the song Which Way Are You Going, but true to the song he's got "one hand on the Bible, one hand on the gun." It could have been written about him, but he still thinks he's the pinnacle of righteousness.
