Indeed. She tried to sneak it in past me but I sussed her. I just raised an eyebrow to let her know I knew.

McFly, Busted, Good Charlotte, Green Day (hang on they're nearly as old as I am!) She is heartily sick of me saying 'they sound just like the Undertones/SLF etc.

BTW how can kids play the same track again and again and again???

My advice: Get her an Undertones album. Hell, get her a bunch of stuff from back when there was good pop-punk. Sadly, IMO, there almost hasn't been any good pop-punk in the last 15 years or so. The Briefs are sort of fun, though...

My son is 5 & is pretty much into old school rock since seeing the 'School of Rock' movie... AC/DC, Sabbath, Zepplin... oh & a bit of Metallica lately.
He goes to sleep to either Bob Marley, Radiohead or the various classical cd's his nana's keep giving him!

scuzzphut quoth
Can't figure out why someone so naturally musical would find it so hard to find music she likes. A bit sad, really. Maybe she's destined to be a star

Ive got a friend who's a very talented opera singer. She doesnt listen to much music (for 'leisure') at all...

Thanks for the advice VoidoidSurrealist....I've tried playing Undertones and Buzzcock's CD's at high volume expecting a 'Wow Dad this is great can I borrow it?' and all I get is 'will you turn that down I cant hear the TV'....
Only thing of mine she's heard and taken to (actually thats taken.... as in removed) is Snow Patrol.

I have a confused family - My 11 year old (girl) likes Bjork and the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band as much as she likes Busted, my 6 year old (boy) thinks that "Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet is the greatest song ever written and my 4 year old (girl) loves Frank Zappa's "Muffin Man" as well as knowing all the words to Dido's "White Flag".

Interestingly, they all like classical music too (Mozart a current fave).

Kids - whatever happened to "wheels on the bus" (actually I think Madonna crashed it with her cover version!).

Regards,

Derek.

On Friday, my wife had our second child so I don't know what she likes, but my 4 year old girl likes Nirvana, Veggie Tales, Disney songs, some Metallica, and that Killers tune with the girlfriend/boyfriend line...she would sing that and I would laugh so hard! It was awesome! She has actually started listening to this radio station thingy on the Disney website with this music from the show Lazytown which is like all House and Trance music! She Loves it. She could listen to it all day.

I absolutly love when she has my headphones on and is just singing outloud to whatever. Memories I will never forget.

My 4 year old youngest is driving us mad by clicking over and over on:

and

he doesn't understand a single word of the lyrics, but knows them all by heart phonetically...

oh, i got 2 sisters and a brother as well

my brother, 30: darkwave, synthpop, some metal

sister 1, 32: she was into grunge, but nowadays she does not listen to music actively anymore, she listens to the radio, rather sad...

sister 2, 23: whatever her current boyfriend listens to, plus some irish folk and ambient, lots of 80s too

Little brother (12 this week): more or less the same as nuffink's list, though he has little interest in music outside of the car radio

Mom: Adult Contemporary (i.e. Phil Collins-esque shit)

Dad: mostly Indian Classical

What are your children's favs?
