Introducing a kid to good music

[TheDudeAbides]

My son is a lot younger (he's only two) but already I can't stand the kid's music that we've been relegated to listening to. If I hear Raffi sing about a Peanut Butter Sandwich one more time I may hang myself.

On the suggstion of a post in OOT, I started playing The Beatles for him and he really, really digs it. Very melodic (i.e. Yellow Submarine, Good Day Sunshine, Octoupus' Garden, and most of their early stuff - even though I find it boring). I don't think it's ever too young to start introducing kids to quality music, and I'm actually putting together a mix now for him of non-traditional kid's songs that he would enjoy. That is, songs that aren't geared specifically to kids but that are still appropriate.
