Suggest Music For 13 Y/O Girl?
My daughter is at the age when she is interested in listening to music, new bands, etc. However, she is an interesting kid and isn't a big fan of most current pop music. She likes some, but mostly she likes older music and non-pop stuff. We sit at the computer and sample YouTube then she takes her allowance money to the used CD store.
Random sample of stuff she's liking lately: Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix, Blondie, young Elvis, Fine Young Cannibals, Diana Krall, Michael Jackson, Phantom of The Opera (Brightman/Crawford). If I was stuck on a desert island w/ this 13 y/o's iPod, I'd be okay with it. My musical vistas are not infinite, so I'm looking for suggestions on what other music to introduce her to. How about a top five or top ten list? Ideally something we can find on Youtube, which might mean everything for all I know. |

Some albums to consider:
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis Giant Steps - John Coltrane Abbey Road - Beatles Aja - Steely Dan Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd Peter Gabriel - So There are others, but maybe instead find some "best of" albums from the following artists: Marvin Gaye Stevie Wonder Ben Folds Five Bob Marley Chicago (old stuff) Earth, Wind & Fire Elton John Eminem Green Day Joni Mitchell Me'shell Ndgeocello The Pretenders Tommy Emmanuel Monk, Mingus, Django I could go on for days. I think it is important for her to hear female artists (one reason for Pretenders, Me'Shell, etc). |

bieber fever, catch it. My teen daughter always leaned toward female artists.
Death Cab for Cutie is on of her favs. I'm thinking the previous suggestion of 10ft ganja plants might need to be held back for a few years.

I would suggest Annie (not the musical, the recording artist from Sweden) Badly Drawn Boy Daft Punk Gorillaz Jens Lekman LCD Soundsystem And if she is into the musical soundtrack bit a la Phantom, I would suggest Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog and accompanying soundtrack. Check em out.
