What will be the first song/musician/band you had them or will have them listen to? Not saying right when they are born you slap headphones on them, but later on. I personally think I will go with The Beatles or Jimi Hendrix. lol. Then of course later on when they get older The Doors & Nirvana If this needs to be moved to Lounge, it can be.

interesting that you'd made a thread of this, i was just talking about this today with a friend of mine. i like the idea of playing the beatles' later era work to my hopeful one day child. elliott smith's mother did that for him...and well, it worked.

While they were younger I would probably pick something light like The Aquabats, The Beatles, and maybe something like Modest Mouse. But as they got older probably things that would be more risqué and mature like Kanye West, Pavement and probably other great rappers.
But since I'm a good number of years from having kids and my music tastes change a lot it's kind of hard to really choose.

Probably the Insane Clown Posse. That will ensure them to be well adjusted in society.

Whatever I'm listening to. I listen to a pretty wide range of genre's, even some classical and country. So I expect to hear alot of "What's that Daddy?" from my kids down the road. But it will be whatever I listen to. I'm not going to force any music on my kids though.

Whatever they want to listen to. I don't plan on trying to dictate my children's musical taste for them. If they hear what I like, and enjoy it, I will be happy to encourage it. But I imagine most kids will find whatever music their parents like to be "lame" until they are much older. That's how it usually goes.

When I was in elementary school, I didn't really have any kind of musical preference. I didn't even really care about music. My dad would always play weird stuff he liked in the car. I still to this day enjoy Cat Stevens, Simon and Garfunkel, and some other random songs like "Lisdoonvarna" and "Highway Men" because of him.
But as far as stuff I'll play for my kids while they sit in the backseat, not caring what is played as long as something is played:
The Ramones Tegan And Sara Soul Coughing and Mike Doughty solo stuff Rasputina Kimya Dawson Beck She And Him

I'll do what my parents did for me and just let them listen to whatever they want. Naturally I was more influnenced by the stuff my dad was listening to like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, etc so they'd probably get a healthy dose of bands like The Beatles, Rush, Black Sabbath, that kind of thing. If they like it that's bonus, if not I'm not gonna get hung up on it.

Whatever they want. I'm not gonna disown my kid cause they like different music.
I did learn a lot of good music from what my parents had playing in the car (and some crap music too). But they never sat me down and said "listen to this yo."
I recently started liking the Beatles on my own and I'm glad it was that way instead of someone telling me how great they are and I start getting annoyed by them before I even hear them

My mum listens to quite a few bands I listen to (Shinedown, Alter Bridge, Creed, Daughtry and so on) as well as some bands from her time, my dad on the other hand, the only band I've seen him listen to that aren't from his time is Korn, which seemed really weird to me for some reason, he even has an album of theirs in his collection.
