Are there any albums that your parents were always playing that you still listen to today?
The only one that immediately comes to mind for me is Hair of the Dog.

I got sick of Whitesnake and Guns & Roses very early into my childhood, but Nazareth still slays.

My dad had Album of the Year (CD) and King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime (cassette) by FNM, and he played those two all the time. They're my all time favorite band now. There's a lot more generic ones (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc), but some others that he jammed a ton were Chokebore and Cop Shoot Cop. He had all their albums respectively on CD, played them all the time, and once again two of my all time favorite bands. Integrity was played a lot too.

My dad indoctrinated me with Pixies and Radiohead. Eternally grateful.

Idk album names but 4 come to mind:

Metallica (the black album)
Rush - whatever one had Tom Sawyer
Ozzy - whatever one had Ironman
Squeeze - whatever one had Cool for Cats

None. The only album that mattered from either of my parents when I was young was this one.

Made my groin feel kinda sparkly for some reason.

A few albums came to mind immediately, but this is the only one that I had on vinyl, cassette, and CD - it was a favorite of my dad's.

my mother doesn't listen to music. my father listens to italian singer-songwriters and (rarely) Rock of the 60's, 70's and 80's. But we never shared music.
My brother listens to Alternative Rock and I made my first steps in the music world thanks to him. Btw, nowadays, the only album I discovered thanks to my family that I still listen to, is "Three Imaginary Boys" by The Cure

Pet_Sounds

LiL, I can see why.

I guess the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds is mine. My dad plays it quite often. It's still an all-time favourite.

"Candy-O" isn't the greatest classic rock album by any means, but in its entirety it's a nice listen. (I really love "Panorama" - in my opinion that was the most interesting Cars album.)

The first time I heard "Pet Sounds" was on 8-track cartridge in my gran's basement. I didn't get to listen to the entire thing because it kept switching channels and it frightened me, but years later I've come to appreciate it as a beautiful and necessary album for the overall 1960s experience.
