I was lucky in that my parents never banned anything from my sister or myself. I guess the fact that I liked their music and the music my sister and I grew up liking our parents listened to themselves (most of the time).
My dad himself listened to the Rolling Stones, Simon and Garfunkel, Blue Oyster Cult, Sabbath and late 60's - early 70's psychadelic rock and he was heavily into listening to music. In fact he would sing to the radio and when he would mess up he'd laugh with us and say "dammit, the band changed the lyrics again."
My mom just listened to whatever anyone else had, she didn't really get into music much when we were kids (she had probably had her fill after her and dad took me to Woodstock, I can only imagine how much fun having a 2 yr. old to care for there was).
I truly consider myself lucky as my parents were extremely liberal and non judgemental over us kids and what we wanted to read, listen to, or watch.
Our friends on the other hand..... that's where the judgemental views and censorships came into play. But that's a different thread.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
