The dance songs on this pop-o-licious CD are pure fun. It's music your California (or New York ... or Wisconsin) gurl or boy will love just as much as you do. Just be sure to pick up the "clean" version, since the orig has some naughty words, and we wouldn't want your kid to hear any of that. (Never mind that *&%$# you let slip in traffic yesterday.)

Bring together a brilliant film composer and cello rock star and you've got some serious magic. This hauntingly beautiful CD is the one to grab when you (or your kids) need to take a chill pill. The uplifting music is the perfect antidote to life's insane moments and a perfect segue into a calm meal or bedtime. Classic.

The Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies)" CD

We gotta feeling this dance pop/hip-hop CD is going to rock your world! The bumping music will make you (and your kids!) wanna get down. And FYI, you can download a PG version of the hit "Boom Boom Pow." The original track is a bit too risqué for small ears, but the beat is so fun you won't want even the smallest member of your crew to miss out.

"Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers" CD

Who doesn't love reggae god Bob Marley? His rasta groove and feel-good lyrics still resonate after all these years. This CD rounds up the best of the Jamaican singer's tunes. Your animal-loving kid will dig "Three Little Birds" and no doubt you'll find comfort in "No Woman No Cry" after a particularly harrowing day in the parenting trenches.

Beyonce's "I Am ... Sasha Fierce" CD

Little single ladies (and dudes) looove Beyoncé. Something about her hypnotic drum-driven dance music resonates with the junior set. She won Best Song at Nick's Kids' Choice Awards for "Put a Ring on It" and was nominated for Best Singer. And the good news is you'll like this CD as much as your kids do. See, you can agree on something!

Lady Gaga's "The Fame Monster" (Deluxe Edition) CD

It's official: The world's gone gaga for Lady Gaga, even the under-4-feet crowd. (How many 5-year-olds have you heard chanting "rah-rah, ah, ah, ah" lately?). Your kid probably won't get all the lyrics—and that's probably a good thing—but he's guaranteed to be mesmerized by this Queen of Pop's revolutionary sound as much as you are.

Listening to this CD is like eating comfort food. The easy-on-the-ears tunes hit the spot and make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's great for when you need some mellow music to take the edge off—and it's super sing-along friendly. Think of it as a big bowl of chicken soup for the family's soul.

Maybe it's their silly lyrics ("I am the eggman ... I am the walrus, goo-goo-gu-joob!") or the implied imaginative play ("We all live in a yellow submarine"), but there's just something about the Beatles that kids adore. Which is very cool, considering they still do it for YOU, too.

This compilation is a great sampler of the Man in Black's amazing alt-country/rockabilly music. Cash actually recorded an album for kids, but your mini will probably like these famous hits just as much (and we know YOU will). If nothing else, he'll get a giggle out of "A Boy Named Sue."

Barenaked Ladies' "Stunt" CD

While the too-fast-to-sing "One Week" is the biggest hit off this album, there's a lot more to this CD than that one track (although that song will inevitably be your kid's fave). This quirky alternative rock band is one of the coolest things to come out of Canada next to ice hockey and Mike Myers.
