Specifically, I would recommend:
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
Elliott Smith - XO


They don't swear too much on those, and they have a pretty aesthetic and soothing quality about them.
Even though Smith is just about as depressing as Drake, it's much more subtle, I don't think a kid would realize it.

When I was that age I wanted short catchy songs I could sing along to. I think mainstream rock thats easy to find on the radio would be the most ideal , stuff like The Killers , Kasier Chiefs , Razorlight ...stuff thats energetic & catchy.
I only recommended Sigur Ros, because most of their songs are beautifully crafted and happy.

Also, that catchy rock stuff is a must for kids, I just wouldn't personally recommend it.

Anyway, I'm with cardboard adolescent, I was raised on Rage Against the Machine/Nirvana/Smashing Pumpkins, that's the way to go, I'm also with him on a sexual level btw.
