When I lived with my aunt, she would let me listen to any kind of music that had an electric guitar and sounded "rock" like! Then I bought "The Punisher" Soundtrack. I backslid from then onto satans music till today!!

my parents were hardcore religious. They didn't want me listening to anything except "christian" music. I had stashes of tapes and cd's hidden all over the place to get my fix. As I got older they just realized I was going to do and be what I want no matter what they said and it relaxed a bit. That being said, "Jesus Saves" by Slayer isn't the best thing to blast in a christian household

Lessee, um, my mom threw away every AC/DC record my dad ever owned o_O

But during my childhood I pretty much just listened to Weird Al and old rock and metal, so she didn't mind... until I took home a Rob Zombie album. But then I got rid of it because it gave me nightmares. Now I like it.

Gwar anyone?

ha, I saw gwar live a couple of times....never saw much point in buying their albums, though.
I was all growed up by the time they came along, but even if i weren't my mother would have gotten the joke.

The first concert I went to was a 92 cent concert from KGON FM 92.3 in Portland. I asked my parents if I could go, 50 miles north, with some friends to see the show. My mom asked "what bands will be playing?" When I told her "AC/DC and Cheap Trick" they both said 'No, no way in hell." So I spent the night at a "friends house" At the time I'd never heard of AC/DC but they put on a good on a good show. I thought Cheap Trick sounded better on my 8-track.

Same here. The first album I ever bought was Danzig's Thrall — Demonsweatlive. To this day, I still love that cover art. /fantasy geek

The only thing I can remember that would remotely resemble "banning" was that my father absolutely hated the sound of Tragically Hip's Gord Downie's voice. That in itself was worth being into the music. It was a kind of fathersbane. It was a bit of a struggle to allow it being played in the car.

I love mine too.

My mom likes all kinds of music, provided it has a good beat. I remember listening to a lot of Prince as a kid--she loves Prince. And when I was in middle school she bought a Marilyn Manson CD.

My folks just aren't the censoring kind.

My parents didn't ban any music, comics, or stand-up comedy, no matter the theme or age level. However, they did ban me from seeing Fritz the Cat, A Clockwork Orange, and Blue Velvet - all of which I ran out and rented the moment I turned 18, and all of which (except Clockwork Orange) were disappointing.

My parents banned nothing, they may not have liked it, but they never banned me from it.

My parents didn't ban any of my music.

Same for my husband.

I would think it would be easier today with the internet, MP3's, etc.

We had to buy our records and we couldn't hide what we did. Yes, vinyl records are all we had. Oh yeah, the failed experiment of 8 tracks. And cassettes.

As long as I kept my door shut & the volume down (headphones weirded me out, still do), I could listen to just about anything that I wanted to.

My mom wouldn't let me go to quite a few shows in high school because she didn't want me seeing "death bands" that had people kill themselves on stage, which she read on the internet by searching amazon for reviews of a band, which I don't believe was a death metal band either. This policy went into effect after I saw Deicide, Hate Eternal, Mortician. and other bands, and I soon figured out a way around it by telling her I was going to something local most of the time so she couldn't look it up. To this day she complains when she sees me wear a shirt that says Judas Priest, Sodom, etc.
Additionally, any music that mass media claimed to be evil was banned, even though Slayer is the only one that I actually listened to.

Not really "banned," but my folks didn't like me listening to rap/hip-hop with dirty words or implied meanings in them. I still listened to it
