My dad likes Dire Straits, Clapton, The Police, Tracy Chapman, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison. I know a few more from what he's told me later in life, but those were the casettes/CDs he had around when I was a kid.
When I was a teen I tried to introduce him to the Pixies, but he looked like I was making his ears bleed.
It was my mom that introduced me to Pink Floyd though, which is really the only musical common ground I have with my parents (although I will definitely get whiskey drunk and belt out Dire Straits on occasion, or sing along to Orbison).
