Mom loved her Big Band music and I remember listening to that and the popular music of the '50's when I was really little. When we moved to Germany, Dad started teaching me about classical music and that is pretty much all I listened too until I was in the 6th grade and then Mary Hornbeck introduced me to the Beatles. I fell in love with their music, along with Herman's Hermits and the Monkees. I never did like the Rolling Stones - ever. Some of my friends accused me of being brainwashed by my parents but I just could never get into 'their groove'. So I didn't listen to them much. I tended to go for the lighter rock and roll and the folk music singers (Peter Paul and Mary, Simon and Garfunkel). I even parted ways with the Beatles after a while. I did get their Sgt Pepper album but that was the last one I personally owned until I was married.
My most consistant genre would be musicals. I loved listening to musicals when I was little. I would put the albums on to clean and race to have my work finished before the album was. (I should probably used that cleaning technique now!). I knew by heart most all of the music from the musicals that our daughters grew up watching - without ever seeing them. We only had the albums in those days. To this day one of my favorite musical scores is the Pirates of Penzance.
