One of the biggest things I remember about growing up with my dad is his taste in music. As a kid I can remember seeing him sat on the couch with his headphones blasting into his ears, listening to the music that I was brought up on. My dad is definitely where I got my first taste of good music from, and to this day I still have a number of his cds in my possession.

This mix is a tribute to my dad that's made up of songs from bands that I remember hearing a lot of when I was a kid, or even just songs that he told me to look up.

You might think the songs on this mix are too mainstream, but as a kid these were the first songs I ever heard by the bands.

All stuff I listened to when I was alive (young) except for Leppard, Van Halen and Maiden who never appealed to me! Jolly stuff.
