I think it's funny how you guys are worried about your parents liking the music.  My dad is why I got into the Police and Sting.  Of course, he told me how he was first introduced to "So Lonely" from the Synchronicity video and how dissappointed he was when he finally bought Outlandous and heard the album version.  So, my dad enjoys the higher energy songs as well.  Must be because he was a drummer.
