"Let's Go Everywhere" by Medeski Martin and Wood. Something completely different and a bit more high content than most kids stuff.

They might be Giants and Lisa Loeb put out music for children. The TV show Pete the Cat is music oriented with original songs. The TV show Beat Bugs has a bunch of bugs learning about life and relating it to songs by The Beatles. Number blocks is math related TV show in 5 minute segments with a lot of songs.

The band Sharky Sharky is a lot of fun (this is not baby shark).

I also know as a kid I liked a group called the zucchini brothers an awful lot. But that might not have aged well? Havent heard them in a long time.

I used to put my baby to bed with the chilli peppers and police and I played my growing bump the kings of Leon and Florence and the machine.

Teach them young and avoid “baby shark.”

I like the band “the terrible twos”, it’s composed of the members of the new amsterdams.

We started our kids on good music- my kids could ID Tom petty and bob Dylan by age four. We put in some Shred Kelly (a big hit since they would play in our town) and some raffi but my son’s fourth grade teacher called home because he was singing “Same ol’ Situation” one day in class. (She wasn’t telling on him or anything- she just surprised)

You raise your kids the way you think is right- but you don’t have to feed them teletubbies and baby shark. (Nothing wrong with those either)

Radiohead - No Surprises

Best to let them know early, and it’s a great song for repeated listening!

Our kids grew up on Laurie Berkner from her spots on Nick Jr way back in the day. It's definitely kid's music but it's not annoying and some of the songs are REALLY good.

Rosenshontz. Good music, fun lyrics, enjoyable for adults. (This goes back a ways, as my kids are in their 30s now!)

There is a version of Canon in D with a boys choir that is incredible. That's about the only one I know of. But it's not really kids music but sung by kids. So.....

Stick Song by Hey Duggie.

Amy Lee has a whole album of kids music inspired by her at the time toddler. Dream Too Much being the lead single.

Postman Pat Theme (the original one from thirty years ago).

Wipeout by The Surfaris

Most Disney songs, especially from Jungle Book and The Lion King. Frozen is also super popular. Oh and We Don't Talk About Bruno.

What Does A Fox Say by Ylvis.

Daddy Cool cover by Placebo.

That song by Fast Food Rockers.

Barbie Girl is really popular despite inappropriate lyrics.

Kids aren't too fussy. You could literally play them Child Prey by Dir En Grey and they'll start dancing if they're already used to hearing rock music.

Just avoid anything ominous sounding, long and progressive (most prog) or with loud sound effects like Blip by Sophie (my niece hated that one).

They Might Be Giants have a lot of kids albums, "No!" is really good.

For the really young, the Rock a Bye Baby albums for going to sleep.

Once they understand words? Just skip profanity and suggestive lyrics (or don't).

My seven YO loves Crazy Train (thanks to the second Trolls movie), Master of Puppets, etc.

My kids love all most everything by the Beatles. The think I Am The Walrus is the funniest thing they’ve ever heard and will dance around to it over and over.

Parry Gripp has some good songs. Like Raining Tacos, Tacobot 3000, etc.

Trout Fishing in America is a guitar n bass duo with hilarious but clever lyrics that my kids grew up on. All sorts of musical styles they use.

But as everyone else said, raise them on the music you love (so long as it’s not too dark or adult) and you can’t go wrong.

Gracie's Corner and Desmond Kid Jams. Both very popular on YouTube especially for parents as the beats are slapping.

Buckwheat Zydeco’s Choo Choo Boogaloo was a favorite of my kids (and me) when they were young.
