Have you ever tried to get a family member or friend interested in your music? If so, what was their reaction?

My step dad was really into psychedelic music so I gave him a copy of MPP.
>This isn't psychedelic Dave
>Now Jimi Hendrix that's some real shit
>After the 70s music lost all of its soul
>Let's just listen to Sgt. Pepper again
At least he liked My Girls alright even if he wouldn't admit it was psychedelic.
I actually turned my dad into a huge Joanna Newsom fan, and my mom is really into Mount Eerie stuff. She loves "Wind's Poem" even though it's, well, Wind's Poem.
Took my friend to a swans show and he liked it, even bought a shirt and vinyl afterwards.

What are good recs for someone who doesn't even listen to music? It's my dad. He has a couple old Genesis and The Police tapes but he never listens to anything.
I've showed him a lot of bands and artists spanning different genres. I showed him King Crimson because he liked Genesis (and a bit of Rush) but it's too "outlandish" for him. I also showed him newer stuff like Radiohead, Yo La Tengo and Porcupine Tree. He likes some of it but he doesn't care to listen to more of it.
Is he a hopeless cause?

Tried, but unfortunately neither my family or my friends are the kinds of people who care much about getting into bands. They'll just give a false little "oh yeah that's cool" and forget about it 5 minutes later.

Well, there's a couple directions. If you want it in a more ambient direction, I'd try the album OP talked about. If you want more beat-based stuff, listen to The Richard D. James Album.

My Roomate's ultra pleb friend who listens to the most normie-core pop, rap and indie rock likes Bones now because I played like 4 of his alums all the way through while she was in the room.
Also none of my friends like minimal techno, experimental electronic or noise, even accessible stuff like Ryoji Ikeda and Merzbow
>>61974613

I'm sorry, what does "list could go on kind of way" mean? I really don't know and I don't think I'd have much success googling.
can anyone help me out? my dad loves music a lot, but I can't find too much modern stuff that really appeals to him. he's a huge Who fan, loves songs with a lot of drum fills where the drummer just destroys his kit, uptempo rocky stuff. Yes, Zeppelin, all that classic rock stuff. Any suggestions?
I got my dad into Daniel Johnston actually
>>61975176

It's ok I cringe about the time I listened to government plates with my mom and she just kinda sat in silence not saying anything.
>>61975610
>>61975617
Shit, I should have they would have gotten a kick out of the "The table's flipped, now we got all the coconuts, bitch!" lyric
I got my dad into fleet foxes and some arcade fire and because I indoctrinated my little sister into being a lil hipster he's heard a lot of sufjan and vampire weekend too. I stuck to accessible indie shit after this one time I played Alberto balsalm in the car and he talked shit about it.
One time I was listening to Veckatimest in the car and my hispanic grandma got really into it, which I found pretty funny.

I showed Colin Stetson to a couple friends of mine and they weren't even sure if it could be considered music.
>>61970105
Last Christmas (2014) I made my whole family mix CDs for Christmas. Only one person listened to theirs and they only listened to the first song.
>>61975028
"list could go on" is an indication of someone listening to the most entry level music of a genre (or what /mu/ considers to be so), so in jazz, that would be "Miles Davis, John Coltrane, the list could go on".
>>61975974

Bad move, anon, but I tried playing Blank Banshee for my mom on a car ride once and after two tracks of her not saying anything I just turned it off and put on some Rolling Stones.
Sometimes you have to cut your losses.
>>61970375
Fuck I wish I had a dad when I read posts like these
I got my mom into Porcupine Tree after playing her Stupid Dream and In Absentia, she really liked the '60s rock influence since she grew up back then. She listened to her copy of In Absentia for months afterward.

Your mom sounds like a very boring lady. No offense
If people ask me to burn CD's for them I usually leave an extra one in there of a different brand disc and pretend like I have no idea where it came from. Sometimes they ask me to figure out what it is and get more.
My mom likes Genesis but it seems she only likes Phil Collins stuff.
>>61975836
>not liking Alberto Balsalm
>>61974611
my dad heard me listening to no love and dug it, checked out the rest of the album and thought the cover was hilarious. he was always into cool intense-y stuff like that on top of usual dad rock stuff
I took my dad to a Death Grips concert and he absolutely loved the show, I'm not sure if he listens to them any more though, he's a bit of a cliche dad rocker. On the way to the show I tried showing him NOTM because he's actually a huge Bjork fan. He saw her twice in the mid nineties and used to be on a mailing list and shit when those were still a thing. I think NOTM was still a little too out there for him tho.
