What are songs you liked as a child that primarily came from your parents? My Dad was Welsh mum was cockney, neither could sing that well but Dad could sing significantly better than her. He joined the Edinburgh Gaelic Choir so I was brought up on a mixture of folk, Scottish folk and Gaelic songs.
Been digging out some songs from the farthest corner of my head these songs I enjoyed while growing up and finding them on Spotify
These include,
Coisich A Ruin - Capercaillie
Streets of London - Ralph McTell
Lord of The Dance - Dubliners (or whoever) I never realised until now it’s a contemporary worship song.
What song/s take you back to your childhood |

For me there are lots of songs that take me back to the 70s family holidays in Devon travelling to the sounds of the 8 track playing stuff like
Glen Campbell rhinestone cowboy
Rod Stewart Maggie may
The shadows apache
Del Shannon runaway
To name a few |

My mum has a collection of CDs calked Hello Children Everywhere, which are basically songs played during the war on the wireless. Odd considering she was born in the 50s. So I grew up listening to classics like Never do a tango with an Eskimo, I'm a gnu, and The laughing policeman.
Also film music as my parents are film buffs. So I know a lot of soundtracks. Oh, and Kirsty MacColl.
Bit of an odd mix really  |

Mine is an artist which is totally different to any of my musical tastes and that is Mario Lanza. It seems like a family tradition at this point because my dad got his like for him off his mom who adored him |

The Moody Blues ones are albums but you can find all on YouTube.
If you listen to one, make it the Hollies. Is their psychedelic period and is a beauty. |
