Music headcanons for The Simpsons? Despite what we see in various episodes, like when Lisa had a Smiths phase, I'm curious to find out what you think the rest of the characters listen to during their free time. ALSO PLS INCLUDE YOUR OC I LOVE HER
Lisa canonically had a Smiths phase??? Girl,,,,, I'm going through one rn,,,
I honestly don't have alot in terms of headcanons?
Skinner most definitely enjoys classical music, and probably listens to classic musical soundtracks from time to time (Doctor Dolittle 1967 is one we know about canonically, but I imagine he'd also be into stuff like Mary Poppins or Hello, Dolly, possibly even Annie Get Your Gun and Calamity Jane!). I like to think he listens to alot of 60s-70s pop/rock, Timothy by The Buoys is one we obviously know atleast Agnes listens to, but I think he'd also be into stuff like The Talking Heads (and he listens to their entire discography, not just the two songs everyone knows), Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones if he's feeling a little edgy (by his own standards), even Pink Floyd.
He's probably hardcore into Pink Floyd's The Wall but in secret and he has the DVD of the movie alongside the CD of the album stuffed somewhere in the very back of his bed.
That's about the only truly detailed headcanon I have.
Edna is canonically into the Beatles but I think she'd also enjoy the Beach Boys and Pink Floyd. Duran Duran (named after the main antagonist of Barbarella - a movie whose titular character she's cosplayed), Queen and Guns N' Roses might be bands she also enjoys. She's also not above enjoying the discographies of Lesley Gore, Carly Simon and Regina Spektor.
I think Chalmers would be into jazz (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin etc) but besides that he's very superficially into Rock Classics™.
I think it would be really funny if Dr. Nick is a big fan of Elvis Presley given that he's based on Elvis' own personal doctor. "Oh yeah, I love Elvis! Shame what happened to him, if only his doctor knew how to prescribe medicine better."
Lionel Hutz! Massive fan of pop music of any era, and an even bigger fan of Pop Muzik by Factor M. Rip Hutz he would've been so into Chapelle Roan.
Frankie the Squealer..... Big ABBA fan energy. Probably watched the Mamma Mia movies. He also probably likes Rosemary Clooney.
Now, my OC Delilah....... She's into Elvis also, and then there's Doris Day, Nena (of 99 Luftballons fame), Boney M. and Леб и Сол (Bread and Salt)... And Vashti Bunyan.
