Not Found

This got us thinking in the 6 Music office about family feuds over music and whether it's ever got us into hot water with our folks.

Has your record collection ever managed to offend your parents? One of our colleagues recalls playing Guns and Roses 'Get in the Ring' which sees Axl Rose ranting at the rock press. Cue PLENTY of lyrical swearing being heard in the family household...much to dad's disappointment: “Son, what's that track? It's JUST unnecessary.”

But we're not just talking about swearing. As a teenager, one poor soul in the office constantly played Gina G’s ‘Fresh’ (she shall not be named). Her grandad found the pop ditty hugely offensive, citing it as “far too promiscuous” (although secretly, Pops probably just had better taste in music).

Music can be deemed offensive in so many other ways - namely imagery. Think back to the successful heights of Motley Crew or Black Sabbath - bands that most mothers would hate their daughters
to listen to. And what with Marilyn Manson and the phenomenon of emo in recent years, more musical cans of offensive worms are just spilling over.

So what's your story? How did your teenage record collection offend your parents? To this day, are you still arguing with your folks about music over Sunday lunch? Or do your own musical choices offend your kids?
