As a child I was more into classical music, if only for the reason I was taking lessons in several instruments and that lends itself to a lot of recommendations from teachers. I wouldn't say I seriously got into music until I was at least 10 or 11, at which point I didn't really ever **** with mainstream pop/kids jamz/whatever marketing label you prefer because my mother was a former radio engineer and my father worked for a few mid-level blues labels, thus affording me a rather wide look into "adult" music during my developmental years. In my mind, there's no such thing as "children's music", just music I like and music I don't. As a child I listened to 3rd Eye Blind, the Cure, Siouxie and the Banshees, and a fair bit of Smiths.
