Like you, they will discover what good music is to them. For the six-year old let him listen to the fun six year-old stuff- John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. At that age music has to be fun. For the 8 year old starting to broaden things would be cool. I find you can get them going on The Beatles as another poster mentioned. Songs that seem to have a fun side are good ( try Jeramiah Was a Bullfrog by Three Dog Night for example). Also I find girls tend to relate and enjoy female singers. But yeah I agree, music will set you free.
