How Your Father’s Taste in Music Influences What You Listen to Today

Musical choices are a peculiar thing, with all your combined tastes making perfect sense to you, and hardly anyone else. (What? I can trace the lineage of David Bowie to the Spice Girls…can’t you?)

But, chances are, your musical tastes are at least a little influenced by the stuff your parents listened to. So, in honor of Father’s Day, Sonos made a chart to help you source your influences. “There’s no end to the reasons why you listen to the music you do today, but we’re willing to bet that more than a few of you were subjected to your father’s music at some point in the past (or present). So that leads to the question: what do dear old dad’s listening habits say about the artists in your repertoire? In honor of Father’s Day, we tried our hand at finding out.”
