GTKY Music Edition

If you could pass on some musical groups or musicians to your kids, who would they be?

Moby
Tool or anything Maynard
George Strait

*These being up there in my ranks and my variety. Of course there are tons more that I will more than likely edit and add on as I think. But Moby. Moby, and his station on Pandora, have been our number one since having our little guy. He will put the boy to sleep. Keep that in mind, hah!

    Well, I'm currently on my way home from a U2 concert, so that's my #1! We also love Wilco, and their concerts are pretty family-friendly. Like you, I could go on forever, so I'll stop now with my two favorites.

    Hmm this is a hard question. I had to give it some good thought. Came up with these:

    Coldplay
    Blink 182
    Rolling Stones

    And these for their angsty teenage phase:
    Linkin Park
    Brand New

    Also - My SIL has a baby-friendly Beatles album and I can't wait to inherit it!

    Oh my!  This is quite a question for me as a musician.  In no particular order, these are musicians who helped shape my artistic outlook.  I'm probably leaving a ton out.  This is what's playing in my house, so it's probably what my kid will grow up hearing.

    Duke Ellington 
    George Gershwin
    Billie Holiday
    Ella Fitzgerald 
    Dizzy Gillespie
    John Coltrane
    BB King
    Eric Clapton
    Beatles
    Ray Charles
    Aretha Franklin
    Whitney Houston
    Bonnie Raitt
    Carole King
    Billy Joel
    Michael Jackson
    Eva Cassidy

    I hope my kids have an appreciation for a wide range of genres. DH and I were both music majors and musicians in past lives (he in a jazz band, metal band, acoustic folk band, among others and me an opera major in college) so this is very integral to our lives. A few specific composers/musicians/pieces I hope my kids will love (among many, many others):

    Beethoven symphonies (especially 8)
    The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Dukas
    Radiohead
    Trent Reznor
    Allison Krauss
    Django Reinhardt
    Caravan Palace
    Ella Fitzgerald

    Im right there with the OP on 'anything Maynard'. Honestly thats definitely number one.
    Anything else I like doesnt excite me nearly as much as that does =)
