Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Great thread ! Our kids each have had their favourites, which it's been a kick to watch evolve over time. Sesame Street's a perennial favourite, as are the episodes of the Muppet Show we've been able to get; Winnie the Pooh episodes were always a hit in the early years, too. And Pingu's also great stuff (I could watch it myself for hours ). They also both enjoyed Asterix and Tintin cartoons - French or English, didn't matter. That's without getting into movies. And these, like shows, will evolve over time. Our eldest has now reached the age where she's insisting on being able to watch The Blues Brothers when weekend movie time rolls around ( ).

I'll second that! I'll add a third to that!! my oldest is particularly fond of A Ticket To New Years and Bob Marley's story Rebel Music**. I found out that kids seem to like these types of things because of the colours. Babies especially and children pick up red, green and yellows right away from the time they can see past 6 feet or at about 6-8 weeks of age.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Funny - when our eldest was particularly cranky as a baby, I used to throw on 80's hardcore - Dead Kennedys, Exploited, etc. - and she'd mellow right out . Now she's ten, and starting to really like Floyd. Guess it's all about waiting for the right moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 he likes lots but hated the heavy Pink Floyd I threw on the other day...hmmmm...too intense I guess. I've got JUST what you need. PM me and i'll fire you off a copy: http://www.babyrockrecords.com/web/page.asp?pgs=product&catid=41&id=1049 We couldn’t think of a band more deserving of the lullaby treatment than Pink Floyd. The sounds of this legendary group speak to the parts of the brain that are wide awake during that lovely dream state called REM. They are musical journeys to the bright side of the moon and beyond. While your child is comfortably sleeping, these lullabies will work to open their mind’s eye as only Pink Floyd can. Your crazy little diamond is going to shine on in a dreamland courtesy of Baby Rock. You’re gonna wish you were there. +++++++++++++++++++ My daughter just went to sleep to this. She LOVES it. She calls it "PIG MUSIC" SHe also has an amazing fascination with everything PIG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson Lake and Palmer has come to have that effect on me nowadays. That pic is an H.R. Giger painting, apparently - the same guy who did the work on Alien, and the Dead Kennedys' Frankenchrist inset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Ah, no - the band was Emerson, Lake, and Palmer; Brain Salad Surgery was just the album title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
