Essential music to put on ds(7) Ipod???

[MilaMae]

He likes Abba,Mika,Razorlight,Scissor Sisters.

Was thinking of Michael Jackson,The Beatles.

Any more????

Adam and the Ants
Madness

ALL kids like 'em.

Too retro...?

My 5 year old loves ELO on his, but also The Killers and Elbow and was listening to Now That's What I Call Christmas last night.

The most recent 'now thats what I call music?'.

We bought one for DS when we got him his first cd player - he now listens to some stuff we never would have imagined him liking.

Bon Jovi

Sound track from Shrek films. Some fab songs on there. I second Madness. Tom Lehrer- my children love him. Beatles. Abba.

Thing is, you want to subliminally message him with the stuff you like so that he doesn't start curling his lip in that unpleasant teenage way the minute he turns 13 whenever you move towards the sound system.
