by Anna Weggel
January 18, 2019
In 1987, Jill Riley's childhood home was filled with the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, and her dad thus retreated to the garage for about a year.
And in 1997 Brian Oake's dad could not believe that Brian would listen to something "as stupid as" Cibo Matto's "Know Your Chicken".
Dads, am I right? Whether it's punk rock, novelty soundtracks, kiddie bop, or screamo, surely we all played something that irked our dads.
