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

[dabluebery]

I didn't think of that, but I wouldn't rule it out. I don't have much exposure myself, so I'm out of my element, but not out of the question.

Give him some old classics that everyone knows, like "I'm a soooooooooul man". Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll" - thats the song you hear in stadiums during sporting events, the one that goes "heeeeeeeey". Or Johnny Cash's "A boy named sue". "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen is one i loved at 10. Or feed him some ZZ Top!

Good call with Bohemian Rhapsody. I have it, and loved it when I was 10. That's when it was re-released with Wayne's World.

Since I have a ten year old son, I will make a suggestion.
Download the soundtrack to any of the Tony Hawk games.

I think non-M rated video game soundtracks are a pretty great idea for gathering ideas for a young kid's playlist. I hadn't thought of that.

I think one of the best things for me growing up music-wise was getting to listen to all of my parents' old Beatles records. It's tons better than anything new he could be hearing now.

Some Kelly Clarkson

Yes. And while you're at it, get the kid a pink polo shirt and show him how to pop the collar.

I suggest stuff like "Hangin' Tough" by the New Kids on the Block, "Bat Dance" by Prince, and "Like a Prayer" by Madonna. I liked these songs when I was 10. Of course we are talking about 1989, so I'm not sure what to tell you. Good luck.

If he's never heard the New Kids on the Block, then it's new to him!

Funny story..... we got him "Alf" on DVD for his birthday, because he saw an episode and thought it was the greatest show in history. So, he's in tune with 1989.
