Children

The best songs for children have all the range of music for adults. The repetitive, lesson-filled ditties of Barney are perfect for toddlers, while Kermit the Frog can add a little complexity to a kid's worldview just by crooning "Being Green (It's Not Easy)." Disney's animated films come complete with slick power ballads and classic Broadway-style showstoppers, and the urbane numbers of School House Rock have been delighting children and adults alike for decades. In other words, grown-ups should feel free to browse around in this genre guilt-free, with or without the tykes.
