my nephew heard "The Seeker" on the new Guitar Hero PS2 game, and liked it...and asked me if I had any WHO CD's!!!!!!!

This game could very well save our children from Hip Hop!!!!!!!

    My 12 year old son knows all the words to Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again - got 'em on his i-Pod. His favourite bands are the Who, Cream and Hendrix.

    BTW, I just read about a Who documentary that will be on VH1 this weekend. Its called "Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who". Kind of a cheesy title.

    It's not so much hip hop that our children need saving from as it is crappy emo-punk wannabe so-called rock bands that dominate the air waves of rock radio these days. I'd much prefer my kid to listen to Public Enemy or Tribe Called Quest than Fall Out Boy or Blink 182.

    Good to hear your young nephew is developing good taste, though. A few months ago, I saw a clip of a band of 11 or 12 year olds rocking a cover of Rockin In the Free World and I thought to myself "there is hope for the world."

    sigh... my least favourite of all common musical generalisations.


    the crap music you are referring to is not hip-hop. it's rap music. rap is something you do (ie, chingy or lil jon), hip-hop is something you live (ie, KRS-One, A Tribe Called Quest)

    Nice that he likes the Who though. that's cool/

    kids are great when they ask you to burn music for them. my 8 year old's last
    ask was for nirvana-with the lights out disc1 and woodface - crowded house.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say
