Old Jan 21st, 2010, 09:09 AM        Baby ipod playlist.
So this stroller that my parents got, it's got a snap container near the handlebar for an mp3 player. Seriously, you put the mp3 player in the container, plug that sumbitch in and there are speakers down near the seat that deliver music to the baby. I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. The stroller isn't even that expensive.

Well, what the hell. We got a cheapie 4 gig memorex and I figure I might as well ensure that there's no KidzBop going on here, I want her to grow up with some taste. Now I need a baby playlist.

I want to do a big mix of everything, from classical (Vivaldi and Mozart mostly) to whatever. Ramones are a given. I'm going to stay away from death metal or anything especially distressing/depressing for the time being.

I'm taking suggestions.

I would suggest Steel Panther for my own amusement. But I don't think you are looking to teach your baby about tongue-in-cheek sex driven hair metal parody bands. So my serious recommendation would be throw in a song or two by Yes. Maybe "I've seen all good people", "Starship Trooper", "Going for the one", or "Roundabout".

I had Mozart tapes as a kid. I think it's responsible for my love for music.

Simon & Garfunkel? I know what I like but I'm not sure what would be best for an infant. Maybe something in a foreign language.

Peter and the Wolf (Prokofiev), Carnival of the Animals (Saint-Saëns), The Nutcracker Suite (Tchaikovsky) are all kid-friendly classics.

Dude, Peter and the Wolf is great. So is Peer Gynt. I always loved In the Hall of the Mountain King.

And I'm not suggesting music because it's gonna make your kid smarter. It's just... more melodic, and probably easier on a kid than the Sex Pistols or Iron Maiden. Music with lyrics are a bit lost on a mind made of jello.

I would think Simon and Garfunklel would be a good choice for similar reasons I would choose Yes. Vocally Simon and Garfunkel are very pleasant, just like Yes is instrumentally pleasant. I would go with complex pieces that are good examples of their genre. Xanadu by Rush would be a good synthesized rock piece, YYZ by Rush would be a good complex guitar piece (though the baby might react poorly to electric guitars, they might sound scary to them)

That's a good one.

I also remember from my childhood Electric Light Orchestra. It doesn't get any better feeling than them.

Not a bad idea, but be careful on this one. Go with something light and fun, like 'Mr. Blue Sky' or the very obscure 'One Summer Dream' and steer clear of their well done instrumental 'Fire on High' only because the weird sounding beginning is scary to adults even so I can't imagine how it would effect a baby.

George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in the Blue."

I love Chuck Berry's Deep Feeling, Low Feeling and Blue Feeling compositions, Low Feeling being my favorite. They're real laid back compared to Berry's other music.

Rodrigo y Gabriella, I love those flamenco guitars but your baby might not have a taste for them.

Grateful Dead's "Friend of the Devil."

Ozzy Osbourne's "Momma I'm Coming Home."

A lot of old Grateful Dead would be good. American Beauty and Workingman's Dead would be 2 albums to consider.

One of his best.

If you are amenable to modern-ish jazz fusion, try Pat Metheny. He's rather eclectic, but his music is generally upbeat with complex rhythmic structure and interesting melodies. Two albums to try are "Speaking of Now" and "Letter from Home".
