Song Choices for a 10 year old Boy....... Need Suggestions

Cool, just stay away from Eazy-E and Geto Boys.

"Dr. Feelgood" was another good one from '89, as well as "Janie's Got a Gun".

Does he chronically wet his bed?

Coming from someone with 2 kids (12 and 8) and 3 ipods:

Anything by the Beatles - Bungalow Bill, Octopus' Garden and Maxwell's Silver Hammer are my kids favs
Smashmouth Allstar
Anything by Simple Plan or Maroon 5
Shrek 2 soundtrack is good
YMCA - Village People
Anything by KC and the Sunshine Band
My oldest daughter loves Beck and Gwen Stefani
BNL - One Week, It's All Been Done, If I Had $1 million
Depeche Mode - People Are People (Actually a good message in there)

Thanks everyone for the input. I'm going to try and stretch all this stuff over two CD's, with as much of the Green Day as I can find appropriate. Other than the two ballads I listed, it's not looking very promising for the "American Idiots" CD. He's only 10, a little over his head / vulgar.

Anyway, here's what I've compiled.

Dave Matthews Band
Ants Go Marching
what Would You Say

Barenaked Ladies
If I Had a Million Dollars
One Week

The Beatles
Yellow Submarine
Hello Goodbye
Maxwell's Silver Hammer
When I'm Sixty-Four
We Can Work it Out

The Beach Boys
Good Vibrations
Sloop John B
When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)
Wouldn't It Be Nice

Johnny Cash
A Boy Named Sue
You are My Sunshine (with Bob Dylan)

Green Day (Other Songs)
Time of Your Life
When I Come Around

Miscellaneous
The Anthem (Good Charlotte)
Spiderwebs (No Doubt)
Family Portrait (Pink)
I'd Do Anything (Simple Plan)
Happy Together (The Turtles)
Under the Bridge - (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Bohemian Rhapsody - (Queen)
Allstar (Smashmouth)

I think you did a pretty good job. I asked my son, to make a recomendation, and he said to add Gorilaz, Feel Good Inc. and Clint Eastwood. Thought he might like those. He knew almost every song on the list, and liked most of your choices(everything but Pink).

[/ QUOTE ] I'd take this song out, drug references. Not that they would get it.

whatever you do, make sure to steer him clear of that colourful urban music

10 year old boy? Definetely Michael Jackson, Beat It.
