Will you pass PJ onto your kids?

It seems like alot of our parents (hippies) gave or allowed us and our generation access to their old Dylan, hendrix, Zep, Beatles records, and that music, and for good reason.

Will our generation be doing that with grunge and Pearl Jam and Nirvana and all that?

Like when your kid turns 13 will you hand them Nevermind, Are you Experience, Zoso but also Vitalogy and Avocado?

    I'll do what my mom and dad did. Instead of listening to baby music, they listened to their usual music. I turned out okay!

    Yes, thanks to Guitar Hero 3, my 4 year old nephew knows and sings the lyrics to Even Flow. Its kinda hard to give him stuff to listen to right now, so i usually just play random music (PJ or other) and see if he chooses amything.

    For my younger son's eighth birthday last year, I gave him: "Who's Next," "Let It Bleed," "Sgt. Pepper," "Revolver" (he's a big Beatles fan) and Jimi Hendrix.

    This year, I got him a Beethoven box set. :-) He liked both gifts.

    Next year, I think I will need to give him his own set of PJ CDs; he wants to borrow mine, and I do not want them to be destroyed in the Bionicle minefield that is my son's room. This is one PJ fan who was absolutely thrilled to death to hear "Black" and "Betterman" played back to back at Mansfield 1, and he was pounding on the seats with the rest of us during "Betterman."

    We had a stand-off this morning over violin practice and learning to read music. The violin was his idea. I told him that if he stuck with the violin and showed a good effort, I would be happy to let him branch out into another instrument.

    "Yeah, right!" he growled. "Like you would buy me a drum kit!" I told him I would be happy to buy him a freaking huge drum kit, but he needed to show better attitude and effort. He picked up his violin and learned a new song on the spot. :-)

    So, yes, I will and I already have.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
  • Well, as I met the love of my life through PJ, I'd say it's a safe bet to say 'yes' ;)

    I'd say we'd probably hand them Binaural or Vitalogy :)
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    My son is almost 4 and has been listening to Pearl Jam since day 1. His favorite is Severed Hand. But it would would be a toss up between that one and All My Life by the Foo. Also, I took him to see the Foo in Orlando earlier...loved it.

    You have to, the band is timeless...My Kids sing along when ever we play Pearl Jam,Neil young .
    Its not typical radio junk like nicklebunk .my 2 yr old cries 'NO "whenever that garbage comes on ...
  • I got married when my wifes kids were 7 +9
    the boys 1st show was Metallica, 2nd Pearl Jam, 3rd White Stripes at Roseland, Beastie Boys

    the girls 1st few shows: Ben harper, Ministry, Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen
    all of the above shows were before ether kid was 11!!!

    she still at 17 listens to the garbage her friends listen to, but likes "my music as well"

    he has been "poisoned" by guitar hero, but went to both Mansfield shows with me, and Stone Temple Pilots.
    Favorite two bands for him: Hendrix, and PJ

    I will be starting some *** here but neither (and because of me) have ever gotten into Nirvana. Good band, did not deserve anywhere near 1/2 the hype they got.
    At the time Soundgarden, Alice, PJ, TAD (remember TAD), etc were making far far far better music.

    listening to pj just happened for my daughter. there was no intent on my part, she is exposed simply by being around me and just thinks that is the way it is. pj is good.
    the great thing is........she exposed me to music that i would have never picked up.

    all the noggin music is good stuff....especially jack's big music show and moose a. moose
    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.
