What music are you playing for LO? I'm trying to get more ideas of what to play for R and am at a loss. Any suggestions you've got would be great, thanks!

DS currently listens to Ke$ha, Britney, Rhianna, Pitbull, Black Eyed Peas and whatever else is on the pop music channel.  I'm a bad mom.

This.....and when I feel like putting kids music on for him, I play Caspar Babypants. He likes the "Broken Truck" song...

Mazurka:

We are huge music people in this house.  We have all 800+ albums on a centralized hard drive and can play any of them from any device in the house (DH is a techie-dude).  I try to match the music with the activity/mood.  During the day, we've been listening to Adele, Broken Bells, Colin Hay, Rockabye Baby Bob Marley lately.  At night at around bedtime routine, I've been putting on Michael Hedges (New Agey guitar) or Erik Satie (classical) to mellow him out.  On Sundays we have Bluegrass Sunday.  He also tends to respond to the Beatles a lot.  I think anything that is not Pantera or Lil Jon is fine.

 Ooh I'll have to give him a try. DH and I are big time music people and I especially love the sound of the guitar.

I wish my DH was more of a techie-dude, but sadly he is fairly technologically impaired. Though he is handy at fixing things around the house and fixing our cars.

Abby responds best to heavy metal! When she's crying H puts Metallica or Iron Maiden and she just stops crying and is all smiles! It's weird!!

Anything I listen to, as long as I dance like a fool and sing along, LO likes.

B got 3 of the Peter Yarrow Songbooks for his baptism (from Peter, Paul and Mary fame).  There's a series of books that are songbooks filled with great kid songs from All Through the Night and All The Pretty Little Horses to Row Row Row Your Boat to Sloop John B.  They come with a CD of all the songs and, for those who are musically inclined, it comes with the guitar tabs.

If you go on Amazon and google The Peter Yarrow Songbook, you'll find the series.

He also likes Cherish the Ladies, Seven Nations and Frank Sinatra.

Yep!! Same here. We listen to DMB and similar artists most of the time.

In the morning and during bedtime routine, we listen to my Disney/Childrens channel on Pandora. He particularly likes anything from Lilo and Stitch.
