I’m burning a CD for my dad. He likes poppish stuff like Roy Orbison and Phil Collins and The Carpenters. I like his music, but I also like rock/alternative stuff more, and was thinking of burning a CD for him to listen to.
NOTHING HEAVY. I don’t think I can ever get him into Led Zeppelin 
Easy ballads, with clear vocals.
Here are songs I am thinking of
The Travelling Wilburys- Handle With Care
Genesis- No Son Of Mine
Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here album, DSOTM
Eric Clapton- Wonderful Tonight
Electric Light Orchestra- Livin’ Thing, Shangri-La
Jeff Buckley- Morning Theft, Grace, etc.
Thanks!
I’m trying to ease him into rock lol
