<p>Definitely jack johnson and jacks mannaquin (sp?)…</p>
<p>I have to agree with Mantori about Bloodhound Gang - that song “the Bad Touch” is full of hilarious innuendos, I love it</p>
<p>"Hieroglyphics? Let me be Pacific I wanna be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means “Small Craft Advisory”</p>
<p>Hee Hee</p>
<p>I also love The Offspring - gotta admit though at their concert H & I were the oldest ones there : )</p>
<p>The most recent -</p>
<p>Alberta Cross
Grizzly Bear
Bon Iver</p>
<p>She sent a link to the Dirty Projectors, but they’re at little too far out there. </p>
<p>Other favorites - Gomez, Dashboard Confessionals, Feist, Amy Winehouse, Kings of Leon, Chester French, The Sounds</p>
<p>Rodney - I LOVE Jack’s Mannequin!</p>
<p>One of the things I love about being a parent now instead of when I was a teenager is that there’s no artificial “generation gap” keeping parents and children from enjoying each others’ music. </p>
<p>My son has turned me on to Death Cab, Ben Folds, Keane, Belle & Sebastian, Gabriel Kahane, the Shins, the Decemberists, the Dresden Dolls, Cake, the Killers, K.T. Tunstall, Sara Bareilles, and Weezer, among others, while I’ve turned him on to the usual boomer suspects like the Who, the Kinks, the Band, CSNY, Jethro Tull, Elvis Costello, XTC, etc., as well as some more recent stuff like Girlyman and Ron Sexsmith. (I can’t really claim to have turned him on to the Beatles, since he seems to have emerged from the womb knowing their stuff.)</p>
<p>Wouldn’t know about Dashboard Confessional or O.A.R if it hadn’t been for my kids.</p>
<p>They were on the young side when The Dave Matthews Band became a bit more mainstreamed, and I remember taking my then 16-year old and two of her friends to a DMB concert. Although they knew who he was, this solidified his standing in their rankings.</p>
<p>
Took our 3 kids and then D1 bf to a Paul Simon concert. We ALL loved it. H and I knew all or most of the songs. Each kid knew some, but also enjoyed the ones they did not know because it was a great concert.</p>
<p>D reminded me of another one I like - Bat for Lashes</p>
<p>Some of her favorites that I introduced her to are Annie Lennox, Depeche Mode, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Clash and Toad the Wet Sprocket.</p>
<p>Got my S interested in Nickelback, T.O.A.D. and Seether- Does that count?</p>
<p>I’m going to look up Bloodhound Gang right now!</p>
<p>I’ve had Mika in my head for two days. No idea whether my kids like it.</p>
<p>Death Cab, Yngwie Malmsteen and Pete Yorn</p>
<p>Corey Smith…S1 gave me two CD’s for Christmas last yr.</p>
<p>Dashboard Confessional played at S2’s college last week. It was homecoming football game/weekend.</p>
<p>Death Cab attended D’s school ( Western Washington University), they are one of the biggest bands that play Bellingham, I think. ;)</p>
<p>For a while, my hipster daughter and her friends (mainly her friends) were on a kick of not listening to any music recorded after they were born. However, the music they were listening to from before they were born generally fell into a period when I wasn’t really listening to popular music – things like the Smiths, My Bloody Valentine.</p>
<p>My son definitely went through a classic rock period, though – the Beatles, Zep, the Stones.</p>
<p>And both of them are more than willing to engage in Bob Dylan vs. Leonard Cohen debates, or Blonde On Blonde vs. Highway 61 vs. Blood On The Tracks. They’re very articulate and passionate about such things.</p>
<p>What they completely don’t get: soul music, or anything that sounds like it.</p>
<p>D1 is flying to NYC (this weekend I think) to attend a Simon and Garfunkel concert. I saw Simon and Garfunkel in concert back in about 1970 - on their Bridge Over Troubled Water tour.</p>
<p>D2 is a bigger Beatles fan than I was. She has most of the CDs, knows all their songs, has all their movies on DVD. Both girls are envious of their parents having grown up in the age when the Beatles were current.</p>
<p>What they completely don’t get: soul music, or anything that sounds like it.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>No Marvin? Aretha? Annie Lennox?</p>
<p>Bands my D has gotten me to lilke: Silversun Pickups, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Paramore. I’m still holding out on Muse – until someone gets that guy an inhaler or something to deal with his wheezing, I can’t listen to them!!</p>
<p>From my youngest D: State Radio and Vampire Weekend</p>
<p>Oldest D–nothing that she likes does much for me</p>
<p>From my kids: Regina Spektor, the Ting Tings</p>
<p>Something we found online: Dan LeSac vs. Scroobius Pip. Check out “Thou Shalt Always Kill.” After watching the video for that, I played my kids “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”</p>
<p>Modest Mouse, Beastie Boys from S.</p>
<p>Rufus Wainwright, Iron and Wine, Andrew Byrd, St. Vincent, Scissor Sisters from D.
Also Beyonce. Kids these days listen to such variety.</p>
