I'm brand new here (intro post to come!), but I have to say that we don't really have specific music just for the boys. We listen to everything with them. That said, though, we have iTunes and an iPod, and I made a "Kids' Playlist" for them, with their favorites. So far, the big hits are:

"One More Minute" by Authority Zero
"Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants
"Day-O (Banana Boat Song)" by Harry Belafonte
"Balloon Man" by Robyn Hitchcock
"Big Rock Candy Mountain" by Harry McClintock (from the "O Brother . . " soundtrack)
"Elvis Is Everywhere" by Mojo Nixon (terrific fun song!)
"Mercedes Benz" by Janis Joplin
"Flowers On The Wall" by the Statler Brothers
"Happy Boy" by the Beat Farmers
"Misery" by Green Day
"Fishin' Blues" by Taj Mahal
"Send Me On My Way" by Rusted Root (aka, the "Ice Age" song!)
"Shambala" by Three Dog Night (they loooooove singing along with this song!)
"Should I Stay Or Should I Go" by The Clash
"Soak Up The Sun" by Sheryl Crow
"Song 2" (aka the "Woohoo Song") by Blur
"Sunrise" by Norah Jones
"Tequila" by The Champs (we say, "Tortilla," instead of "Tequila" though!)
"What's Left of the Flag" by Flogging Molly
"You Are My Sunshine" by Norman Blake
"Zoot Suit Riot" by Cherry Poppin' Daddies

and, just about anything by Pearl Jam!

My boys are definitely punkers! My husband plays guitar, and we have a "little guy" guitar for them to play. And, they do! They also put on stage shows while they're playing. It's hilarious!

This is a great mix!

Yeah, we really like to expose them to lots of kinds of music!

We listen to alot of reggae, but my dd takes after her dad and likes to rock out to heavier stuff too. Her top 3 cd's are: Bob Marley & Wailers Greatest Hits
Removal (local heavy instumental band)
Wassabi Collective (local funky jam band)
We listen to a huge variety of music, some of her fave bands are: Slightly Stoopid, Xavier Rudd, Clutch, Mama's & Papa's, and St. Germaine.
Now that she's older, we plan on taking her to some music festivals this summer. I can hardly wait to rock out with my dd!
