Would 5 and 8 year-olds really recognize quality music if they were exposed to it? I guess it's different for every kid, I just remember my classmates and I at 8 and I dunno if any of us really had the capacity to develop musical tastes/preferences in the way we would at a later stage in life. (Closer to the stage where kids develop/explore an identity apart from their parents)

At that age I think most kids wouldn't really be able to listen to the Beatles and say they like it more than N'Sync or something. But I could be wrong, and it couldn't hurt so ya I'd go with something like The Beatles, that's as good a start as any.. Also something like Blondie might be good.. catchy, upbeat, fun songs.. subject matter isn't too serious.
