My 8 and 10 year old have known all the words to There Is A Light That Never Goes Out for a good few years. Proud parenting moment.
Current faves include Panic! At The Disco, Charlie Puth, Shawn Mendes, Ariana, CRJ, Boy Azooga and the GotG soundtracks

I absolutely hated music for kids when I was a kid. I'm sure plenty of children out there feel the same.

My boy (12 1/2) wanted me to make him a hip-hop playlist the other day. I thought about a kid-friendly playlist for a while, then decided I'd rather sit with him and listen to it and explain the history and context of the language etc. I dunno if it's the right decision.
My daughter (10) likes Ariana and the Mamma Mia soundtrack, mostly.

There’s a ton of great music made specifically for (young) kids. Caspar Babypants, Laurie Berkner, Charlie Hope, Mr. Eric & Mr. Michael, Samba Salad... these are some big names that come immediately to mind. We have a bunch of mix CDs from a toddler music class with lots of others, if anyone’s interested.

Chinaski, that sounds like the rightest decision. Props.

My 7-year-old's been pulling my old cassette tapes from the basement. The group that's been the biggest hit with him and his 4-year-old brother is Shonen Knife. Which makes sense I suppose.

We watched Charlotte's Web over the holidays and it inspired me to learn this on guitar:

The songs in that movie are excellent.
