and my fave, They Might be Giants, NO!

Dan Zanes. Formerly of the Del Fuegos for anyone who remembers the Boston music scene in the 80's. Best kids music out there.

LOVE LOVE LOVE they might be giants. we have the first two kids albums (although, aren't all of kid friendly? really), including an autographed copy of 'here come the ABCs', but need to get 'bed bed bed'. john & john RULE! i love it when ella walks around signing 'ro-bot, par-ade! ro-bot, par-ade!' makes me feel like i'm doing something right as a mom.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000068C97/ref=pd_sim_m_1/002-7884...

a few others we really like:

john lithgow - okay, a bit annoying, but at least it has some wit behind it
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000066RLW/qid=1133737288/sr=2-2/r...

seal maiden - music and story, based on the irish selkie legends (similar to the story in 'the secret of roan inish).
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004TZYF/qid=1133737317/sr=11-1/...

free to be, you and me (flashbacks to my own childhood)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000002VDL/ref=pd_bxgy_img_b/002-7...

really rosie (more flashbacks to my own childhood)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000J2PJ/qid=1133737343/sr=2-1/r...

hey, mr. spaceman
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000APVJJ/qid=1133737442/sr=11-1/...

for the kids (sarah mclachlan doing 'rainbow connection' makes me weep! and there's a for the kids two now! woo hoo!)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006L7QX/qid=1133737474/sr=1-1/r...

story cds are also AWESOME. since we don't have a tv, the girls LOVE listening to stories as entertainment.

odds bodkin 'the evergreens' (i LOVE that one)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000645B0/qid=1133737647/sr=2-1/r...

older kids might like jim weiss (although at age four ella loves 'the canterville ghost' on his cd spooky classics)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/002-7884685-565...

AND anything and everything by barefoot books: http://www.barefoot-books.com/us/site/pages/audioshop.php
