Karen sn Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Well, I like Johhny Cash, Willie Nelson, Elvis, Lynard Skynard, Led Zeppelin, and whatever the country station and the old rock station play....so she listens to that. (On her own I am afraid she likes that hideous other crap that passes for music - hip hop and stuff like that.....but I control the radio!) Sometimes I control the radio but share and we listen to a LITTLE bit of her choice. But I have to say - she sings along word for word with alot of Elvis and Cash! We never really listened to all that kid music. It drives me nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 All our radios are set to the christain station so mostly they listen to that. WHen they chose CD's right right their favorites are Beethoven, bible songs cd'(these are specifically kids songs), or othe children's music cd's we have. IF I allowed it my 9 yr old dd would listen to the high school musical soundtrack or hannah montana all day long, but I don't buy those kinds of cds. I rarely buy cd's at all. They also like country, classical rock and 80's music but those are only on if I am using my computer music player with the tunes I have downloaded.

It's my mother's revenge, skipped a generation. Wicked is coming to Atl in Oct, and she is lobbying hard to see it. Ugh. And we also listen to mostly iPod (books) and cds.

sdWTMer Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'm sick of listening to Toby Mac every single time we get in the car. Any suggestions? My daughter is 8. Oh my kiddos don't get the radio in the car, I do! :D And talk radio it is! If they want music they ride with Dad. ;) We don't really ever listen to kiddo stuff at all in the car. We have the iPod and listen to the music that dh and I want to listen to, but we have much influence over our kiddos and they appreciate the music that we do!

sweetbaby Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 As for music, my dc listen to contemporary christian or christian rap along with some teen pop songs that can be heard on Disney or something. As for literature, we check out audio books from the library and they have just finished listening to The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis (They loved it!) and now we are listening to Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellifera Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Philadelphia Chickens is pretty good - it's a bunch of Sandra Boynton poems put to music. We also listen to: Various songs we put on cd from our 78's. These are mostly from the 20' and 30's. Latin and world music. Jazz. Jethro Tull. Our rule is whatever the driver wants to listen to is what we listen to in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 For us, in the car it's whatever happens to be on public radio. But at home, dd(7)'s latest obsession is the soundtrack from Wall*e. She has been playing that thing for 5. days. straight. And although the "Hello, Dolly!" stuff is beginning to wear a little thin in my book, at least she's not into all of the pre-teen pop garbage! (And, truth be known, I kind of dig that Peter Gabriel number!) -Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Soundtracks--Robin Hood (yes the Kevin Costner one), Serenity, Star Wars, Transformers, Princess Bride, Aladdin Classical--Holst's Planets are a regular favorite, the Classical Kids CDs, Suzuki CDs Nickelcreek Audiobooks--Redwall mostly these days, Hank the Cowdog, Narnia Musicals--Secret Garden, CATS, Beauty and the Beast Kids Christian CDs--Sir Oliver's Song (10 Commandments), Bullfrogs and Butterflies, The Enchanted Journey (a musical Pilgrim's Progress) Story of the World Vol. 1 and 2, Pudewa's poetry CDs, Veritas history CD I think that's most of our regular repertoire. For radio we mostly just listen to the classical station. They like U2 and some of my music (Indelible Grace, Jars of Clay). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca in GA Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Our favorite Christian artist is Warren Barfield. We like classic rock and funk/soul -- we just bought Stevie Wonder's No. 1s and we like it a lot. They also like the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull soundtrack and Keb Mo's "Big Wide Grin" right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKim Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Mine have worn out the soundtracks to The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, and The King and I. They love old musicals, and hate anything that sounds like "rock" or "pop." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Philadelphia Chickens is pretty good - it's a bunch of Sandra Boynton poems put to music. We like Philadelphia Chickens too. And Dog Train. Those also reminded me of They Might Be Giants "No" and "ABCs" which are car favorites. We also have several Curious George stories on CD that dd (4) asks for often.

Dayle in Guatemala Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Well, besides TobyMac, (which is always in the stereo around here!) we do: Barlow Girl SuperChik HSM soundtracks DC Talk (Jesus Freak is awesome!) Josh Grobin Charlotte Church David Crowder Rebecca St. James The Monkees (you know, "Hey, Hey, We're the Monkees", "Daydream Believer") Those are the girls, we also have a boy who likes Switchfoot, Hawk Nelson, John Rueben, and 3rd Day.

Adrianne Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 We listen to books on tape (or CD). We get them from the library so they are free. Libravox also has free books on tape that you can down load online. I consider them family read-alouds. It keeps the kids quite and learning!

Wendy In KS Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Right now the two main things playing in our cd player at home is In the Heights (my choice) and Mamma Mia! (kids' choice). It is not unlikely to hear them dancing around the house singing "Dancing Queen". Even my 5yods. :D We also enjoy Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, and some older musicals. We also have High School Musicals (1&2, soon to be 3!), Camp Rock, Hannah Montana, but those get a much shorter play time due to my inability to hear the songs more than once. But, I can listen to my musicals all day long (and usually end up more productive when I do). Current "pop/rock" cds that my kids like...hmm..do I admit this here? Fergie, Blue October, Matchbox 20, Flobots. They also like The Beatles. I am a very eclectic music fan- it just depends on the day whether I want to hear musicals, country, r&b, rock, alternative. There really isn't music I don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never really listened to all that kid music. It drives me nuts! This also applies for us! Expect no hip-hop or rap...the closet we have to that is the Tim McGraw/Nelly duet - Over and Over Again. Old classic country, new country and old rock. I'm driving so I decide...currently in the CD player is Miranda Lambert's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Others include: George Strait Kenny Chesney Trace Adkins Johnny Cash Big & Rich Dierks Bentley Toby Keith Carrie Underwood Martina McBride Kenny Rogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Often, we don't listen to anything. The quiet or talking is nice. Sometimes we listen to the radio (often NPR) or some of my cds w/ 80s music, lol. Or the Beatles or my Eric Clapton Unplugged cd. :D My dd is really the music fan. She loves: Putumayo cds (Baila!, Gypsy Caravan, One World, Celtic Tides, South Pacific Islands, etc...) Flamenco & tango music (various cds we have collected) Ottomar Liebert (Nouveau Flamenco) various cds by Belgian/Dutch singers Things like World's Best Opera for Kids, a few of the Classical Kids cds, Lyrical Life Science, etc.... Try your library. Ours has a huge cd collection & it's a great way to try some different styles or types of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 No music, only stories. (Though once in awhile I insist on listening to music.) Younger ds doesn't love hearing stories in the car though, so it can be a conflict. We're working on him though. We listen to Jim Weiss, Magic Tree House, The Cricket in Times Square, Greek Myths. Ds are 8 and 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'm sick of listening to Toby Mac every single time we get in the car. Any suggestions? My daughter is 8. I have absolutely no idea. I'm sure my folks said the same thing "way back when" but it's all just noise to me. Actually, he's admitted it's pretty much noise to him, too. On the other hand, I don't think anything my son might be listening to would interest your daughter. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
