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.

As much as I hate Van Halen I have to admit this is a catchy song, and it's instantly recognisable. Van Halen are one of the bands that we disagree on, but it still needs to be on the mix.

These would all be burned or set out to the trash heap at my parents' house. Not a bad introduction to music at all, really.

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

The Level 10 Badge
Lucky you. My dad listend to Poison, Motley Crue and Asia (although their first album was alright). Mind you, he also listened to some of those monoliths (the Floyd, AC/DC, Van Halen, The Cars).
Anyways, nice little comp. Plusses abound.

It is so sad when people have to put warnings of "mainstream" songs, because they are worried about being rated down... I love the mix, and love the nostalgia. Make your mixes how you want, and fuck everyone else!
