WOW! thanks i forgot all about those bands... he is a really hyper child so i bet he would really like Beastie Boys and the Foo Fighters.

yes thanks.

so far i have chevelle for him out of my music.. and then i got him trapt which he wanted and i got him all of staind's cd's..

thanks guys!

If he likes the foo fighters, you might as well try Nirvana on him, then you can get him into the 200 nirvana rip offs also.

This kids taste in music is gonna suck =D

Foo fighters may have once been part of Nirvana when kirk was alive, but there sounds are completely different.. and i don't want to get him into completely depressing stuff.. i know he won't listen to anything for the lyrics.. but this is a kid that just wants to be cool. If he listens to nirvana and loves them and finds out the singer is dead he'll think its cool and want to try it.

his father is into all the grunge music and he won't listen to it because someone else in the family likes it.

his taste might suck.. right now he just wants to be cool i doubt that will change, its just the way he is. I don't think he'll ever be a music lover, but i might as well SHOW him music that at lest fits his hyper personality, in which not a depressing one.

and he's only 10 years old.. its time he gets into music and then hopefully will start learning and wanting to learn how to find it himself on the computer so he can forum his own wonderful music taste. and hopefully he'll stay away from rap.

Let him go wild, the stuff i listened to when i was ten was sooooo varied, I liked most music. my fave's were
Black Sabbath, Johnny Cash, The Drifters, Billy Squire, Little Richard, and the bloody Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack. (all from my parents collection)
His tastes will change, so give him access to everything you can.

Force him to listen to a band that will 100% not keep his 10 year old attention span...like The Mars Volta!

:laughing: Do it!

He'll be like...This boy sounds like a girl...!

G.G. Allin

That is all

I think trapt is terrible crap that took the last train out of nu-metal ville and will be forgotten shortly (I thought they already were).

At 10 the chances are that he will listen to anything and just say that he likes it so that he can join in with his friends. The chances are that his friends are also doing the same. Hmm... but like someone else has said before, get him the odd album every now and again but don't go smothering him with all sorts of crap, as he will probably turn all rebellious even before he's hit his teens.

And Bill, Jesus, you don't let up do you?
