[Andy Baker]

Although I'm much older than those posting above, I like music too. I especially take pride in the fact that my 5 year old has no idea who Brittney Spears is and her favorite band is the Talking Heads.

This following is an actual conversation in our mini-van:

me to my 2 older girls (5 and 2-1/2):
... "what do you want to hear"

5 year old:
... "Talking Heads!!"

2 1/2 year old:
... "Soak up the Sun" (newest by Cheryl Crow)

me:
... "no, we just played that... what else?"

5 year old:
... "Springsteen!!"

2 1/2 year old:
... "Who's that girl?" (by Eurythmics)

Needless to say, they are getting exposed to some decent music. Here are some of my favorite albums:

U2 - Actung Baby
Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
Van Halen - Van Halen
AC/DC - Back in Black
New Order - Substance
Bob Marley - Legend
Depeche Mode - Violator
The Cure - Disentegration
Jane's Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual
Anita Baker - Rapture
Rolling Stones - (too many to name)
Frank Sinatra - Reprise
Stevie Wonder - Original Musiquarium

Of course, all of this stuff is old. But, this works for me.
