This week’s Podcast Question of the Week is about music:

What Album Do You Listen to With Your Kids?

This week, BFF and father-blogger Bruce Sallan talked about music during his #dadchat. Everyone had such different ideas, we thought we’d talk about it too. What album(s) do you listen to with your kids? Do you listen to their kids music? Do you listen to your music?

What’s your preference while listening with your kids? Oldies? Dubstep? Classic Rock? Electronic? Classical? Chiptune?!

We want to know! Leave your answer in the comments here and we’ll read some of your answers on our podcast! Be sure to watch on Tuesday, 6/10.

(album art above is from Aphex Twin’s Windowlicker…which is totally kid-friendly, trust us.)

    Are you baiting me to sing the virtues of quality kid’s music, again? 

    We have a good mix of kid/non-kid music (all all-ages though) spinning constantly around here. Some of the latest and greatest discs from the Golden Age of Family Music we are currently living through come from: Mista Cookie Jar (retro soul/hip-hop), Secret Agent 23 Skidoo (hip-hop), Okee Dokee Brothers (just featured on NPR All Things Considered yesterday), Dog on Fleas. 

    Some of the adult music the girls are digging on right now (more individual songs than full albums): April Smith & the Great Picture Show “Colors”, Jess Penner “Life is Rosy”, Jukebox the Ghost “Empire” + the much of their new album, Good Old War “Calling Me Names”, The Lumineers “Ho Hey”, Sharon Jones “How Long Do I Have To Wait”, and Bishop Allen “Click,Click,Click, Click”. 

    That’s probably more than you wanted, but hey I’m in a giving mood this morning.

    We hate “Kid music” so he listens to whatever we listen do. 
    This week:
    1. Kelly Hogan’s “I like to keep myself in pain”
    2. “Saturday night fever soundtrack”
    3. Tribe Called Quest “Midnight marauders”
    4. Pogues “Rum sodomy & the lash”
    5. Chet Atkins and Les Paul “Chester & Lester”

    My daughter is 17 months so in our case we play different types of music From Pavarrotti, U2, Fela Kuti, Salsa and Rock. 

    I guess as she gets older I will play what I like and she can identify what she likes best!

    She listens to whatever I listen to, even when it’s metal.  She just calls it “mad guy music.”

    Hey, I’m already used to spamming you with my own links, and I’m not going to break that habit now. I just wrote about kids’ music for the Baltimore Sun blog ==>

    We listen to all kinds of music in our house, but the kids LOVE this fringe group that some of you may know, Tool.  Yeah we listen to them a lot, Gojira and Pink Floyd.
