Johnny Coli Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Ramones "Leave Home" or "Rocket to Russia". I'm being serious here. These are great, safe for kids, pop records. Very catchy, short, easy to listen to songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Fong Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Are there any Best Buys near you? If so go over and hit them. They had a bunch of Greatest hits albums called "20th Century Masters" There were a bunch of different artists and they were on sale for $6.88.

Might as well buy them a tattoo to put on their foreheads that says "weird kids in class" We may like those two bands, but better off giving them gift certificates to Best Buy and let them choose. Don't force your music on them to "keep it alive"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Coli Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I still say that if you're looking for street cred you go with the Ramones. Poojer's kids are way too young for Tupac, and Emo (shudder) will be way over their heads. I agree, Pink Floyd will get them beaten down, as will any "classic" rock.

The Poojer Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 i am buying them for them so i am gonna force it on em, i may also get them a bmg/colombia house membership, so they can pick thier own.
