I can't stand all the new "kids" music which consists of some "cute" man or woman with unruly hair holding a guitar, swaying back and forth with kids running around them. Lame. I dont' care what the content of the song is. LAME.
Give me Raffi anyday, where the kids are encouraged to join in and be a part of the music. THAT is kid's music.

I was raised on the Beatles, myself. Many a happy memory dancing around the living room with the Beatles on full tilt. Good times...

My little girl loves watching me play air guitar. She gets such a kick out of it.

You have satellite radio? Both services have kids channels. Sirius has radio disney and their own kids channel. I don't know what XM has for kids.

Me too ... I love to shred. my wife is a damn good air drummer (really). so we're gonna teach our kid to play some air guitar (air bass?) and we'll go on tour Partridge style.
funny story ... wife was teaching her seventh graders a year ago. and nobody in this english class knew what an air guitar was. Seriously!
but i'll tell you ... that's probably the only thing those kids will remember from that class 20 years from now.

[I put Yahoo radio on my laptop and connect it to my sound system speakers. I tune in kids stations but they seem to prefer the classical - jazz stations.
It also provides variety to expose them to different music i.e. African, Latin, Asian etc..

Raffi is the way to go. We got a 4 cd set of Raffi when the kids were young 'uns. We still play it for them after 7 years.

I disagree!
I love XM Kids! Good music... fun personalities... sure there's some annoying stuff, but there's a lot of great stuff on that station.

NPR's All Things Considered runs an irregular series on what is new and noteworthy in kid's music. The last installment in December was entitled Children's music revives spirit of Punk Rock (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6576654). Click on the story and you'll find links to songs from Wee Hairy Beasties, the Jellydots, and Johnny Bregar.
Below that story is a list of the best children's albums of the year. Not really "online music" but songs you can give a try to online!
