Different Class is such a great album. Mile End, Common People, Something Changed, Disco 2000 are favorites and there’s not a bad song on the album.

I discovered Pulp through the Trainspotting soundtrack.

Reply to Kid’s music that doesn’t suck? by Picknblues

Encanto, Sing 2 and Frozen soundtracks are big hits with my kiddo. Kidz Bop Kids as well.

It’s pretty good when compared to searching for kid songs on youtube.

Reply to Seattle or Dallas by No_Representative_23

Seattle has a good local scene.

Portland, OR has a good scene and is more affordable as well. And its only 3 hours from Seattle, so you could play shows in Seattle while living in Portland

I think what you’re already doing is good. Nothing wrong with listening to what’s on the radio and what friends like.

If you feel like a deeper dive then:

The book Major Labels by Kelefa Sanneh will give you a good overview of the main music genres.

Here’s a rock history playlist of favorites (60s through today):
