Show your kid that you may be "old" but you're still hip to the latest fads by introducing her to your fave music from the decade du jour. Hey, it's either that or busting out the acid-washed jeans again.

It's true, girls (and boys!) just wanna have fun and there's nothing more fun than Cyndi Lauper's groundbreaking debut album. With punky pop songs sung with Betty Boop-ish spunk, this album is classic '80s and still rocks after all these years. So bust out the pink hair dye and side ponytail and get ready to get down!

Introduce your kid to MJ's amazing 1982 album and we pretty much guarantee he'll actually think you're cool (for once!). It's the number-one-selling album of ALL TIME! And with hits like "Billie Jean," "Beat It" and of course, Thriller, you can see why. One listen and your kid will get why Jackson was crowned the King of Pop.

In 1983—before Esther, the Sex book, the faux British accent or even the "Like a Virgin" days—Madonna emerged on the scene with this fun, PG (really!) debut album. The upbeat dance tunes still make you want to bust out the rubber bracelets and lace gloves and dance around your room flailing your arms like Molly Ringwald. Ahh, the good old days.

Long before he was a Man in Black and big news at the box office, Will Smith was the Fresh Prince of rap. He and partner-in-crime DJ Jazzy Jeff were perhaps the most golly-gee rap duo in history, with their spunky '80s lyrics and their CD He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper. And we can guarantee your kid will dig the hit "Parents Just Don't Understand" because, let's be honest, we don't.

Huey Lewis made it "hip to be square" with his pop rock. After a few duds, this, his third album with the News, catapulted him to mega-stardom. With hits like "Heart of Rock 'n' Roll" and "If This Is It," Huey's music still makes you want to flip up your collar and pop open a New Coke.

Debbie was a huge preteen pop sensation in the late 1980s (think Miley Cyrus minus the provocative outfits). And she had some serious chops—she wrote most of her own music before she was even old enough to drive. We bet your kid will like Debs as much as you did ... if you can tear her away from Hannah Montana long enough to listen.

This wacky New Wave band is seriously fun. Their kooky noises and silly lyrics ("There goes a dog-fish, chased by a cat-fish, in flew a sea robin, watch out for that piranha! ... here comes a bikini whale!") rival any kid musician's. But unlike a lot of kids' music, the B-52's will make YOU want to boogie, too!

One of the best all-girl rock bands ev-ah, the Bangles' sound is a unique mix of '60s rock, '80s synth and Beach Boys-ish harmonies. They may have had their heyday more than 20 years ago, but their music is still a great soundtrack for your "manic Mondays" ... and Tuesdays and Wednesdays ... who're we kidding, every day is manic when you're a parent!

The Clash were the ultimate rebel British punk band. Their music was a mix of rockabilly, ska, reggae and of course, punk. To their diehard fans, they were, and always will be, "The Only Band That Matters." Give 'em a listen and you'll see why. This greatest-hits CD will make you and the kids really "rock the Casbah" ... or at least the car seat.

In their day, the Police were one of the most popular bands in the world, and their New Wave pop still rocks. This CD is a compilation of the best of their songs, from "Roxanne" to "Message in a Bottle" and more. Even the youngest members of your household will dig the lyrics to at least one of their tunes. Sing it! "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da ..."

New Edition, the band that launched the career of the infamous Bobby Brown, was one of the original boy bands—they were 13 to 15 when their first album came out! Their pure, sweet voices are serious ear candy (when they're not cracking!). It may be hard to imagine Bobby Brown as pure or sweet, but this CD is proof that once upon a time he was more than just Whitney's ex.
