Ok, I tried to post this last wk, but I did it right before the old forums shut down, and didn't have a chance to get much feedback. Dh is putting together a cd for Grace and Phin of songs we all like. Here's what he has so far
Blackbird—The
Beatles Piggies—The
Beatles Obla-Di, Obla-Da—The
Beatles Train In Vain—The
Clash The Card Cheat—The
Clash The Man Comes Around—Johnny
Cash A Man Can Be A Drunk (But A Drunk
Can’t Be A Man)—George Jones It’s The End of The World As We Know
It (And I Feel Fine)—REM The Skin of My Yellow Country
Teeth—Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Birdhouse In Your Soul—They Might Be
Giants I’ll Fly Away—Gillian
Welch I Want To Sing That Rock And
Roll—Gillian Welch No One Knows My Name—Gillian Welch Any other thoughts? Dan Zanes, Raffi, and Laurie Berkner are great, but we want other alternatives to cool kiddy music. Thanks!! |

Otis Redding
Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay Brown Eyed Girl Under the Boardwalk Almost anything by "Trout Fishing In America" Though I don't know if that counts because most of their lyrics are kid-type songs, but they're musically very cool and I like listening to their songs. Other adults must like it too considering when they play in town here they typically play at a local mexican bar & grill style place (ie. not just for kids). Harry Belafonte is great too. I'll add more as I think of them... |

Mack the knife... there are a bazillion different versions... There are several we like
That's amore by Luis Prima because it is the only Italian I know... The Sweetest Thing by U2 I really like our Peter, Paul, and Mary songs around the campfire... Adult and kid songs alike. I'll come back if I think of more... |

Grace LOVES Brown Eyed Girl, we forgot that one. That's Amore is a cute idea too, we'll have to give some U2 a try as well. This is actually a lot of fun, I'm going to love listening to this cd.

I can't believe Cheryl didn't say this one, but umm... "Lime in the Coconut"
 is a fun kid-friendly song that DS loves.

My boys are into Neil Young, Jack Johnson, Cake, Dave Matthews, and Michael Franti at the moment. We do kiddie music, too, but it gets a bit old day in and day out.

Bjork is also a favorite around here, as well as Jack Johnson. Hmm, now wh/ Bjork to put on the cd? DH and I love Neil Young, but it might be an aquired taste for Grace and Phin.

These are my kid's "adult" favorites:
Anything They might be giants (the Ant song especially- which is actually on one of their "adult" albums)
Beck (although you have to watch for language)
Old Micheal Jackson ("Don't stop till you get enough" "shake your body down to the ground")
Paul Simon "diamond on the soles of her shoes" and others.
My one year old LOVES "dream a little dream of me" by the mama's and the papa's.
They also love the Polyphonic Spree and the Flaming lips.
Elvis and Beetles are also a hit.
I think "It's Oh So Quiet" by Bjork would be a good one :). Or Human behavior. My kid's don't like her new one.
Oh, and we LOVE LOVE LOVE Jack Johnson here :).

I didn't read all of the responses, so sorry is someone mentioned this, but dd loves Santana and has since she was itty bitty. A greatest hits album. She also likes America (more my dad's tastes than mine, but it's a hit with her).

Dd loves just about anything by Bob Marley, she also really likes Great Big Sea(and if you think Micheal Stipe sings fast on It's The End of the World As We Know It, you should take a listen to GBS's version)

E loves all music. He really likes The Rolling Stones and Ray Charles. Other than that he loves all the classic rock that I play.
You should hear him sing "I got a woman" by Ray Charles. It is the cutest thing EVER!
