Easy Listening
Growing up, the parent-controlled radio was usually on during breakfast. It was tuned to the easy listening channel, which nobody changed since it was my mom's favorite station. Also, the radio was strategically stuck behind bags of music books that were stuffed next to the piano, making it difficult to reach.
Top 5 easy listening artists I remember hearing growing up...- The Lettermen ("Goin' Out of My Head")
- John Denver ("Annie's Song")
- The Carpenters ("Top of the World")
- Richard Clayderman ("Ballade pour Adeline")
- Roberta Flack ("Killing Me Softly With His Song")

haha. i used to play "ballade pour adeline" on my piano all the time. i really liked richard clayderman songs. hmm... i should really try and dig up my sheet music. :)
I know somewhere in my parents' place sits an old Clayderman songbook, along with one of John Denver's for guitar. They haven't been touched in ages.
no. 4 is a killer. all the kids in the neighbourhood i lived in used to play it as part of their piano lessons. the other day i took a walk near my place and heard the familiar strains of the opening notes...gaaah. :P
