i'm trying to make some cds for christmas for my parents but i don't want songs that are dripping with sap. it would be best if the songs parent child theme is not too obvious.
here are some i am already using, and i would like the others to blend well:
loudon wainwright - daughter
paul simon - father and daughter
billy joel - lullaby
rusted root - send me on my way
john mayer - daughters
beatles - in my life
rod stewart - forever young
nickel creek - when you come back down
tom petty - wildflowers
natalie merchant - kind and generous
simon and garfunkel - bridge over troubled water
fleetwood mac - landslide
i know it's already a lot but i still feel like i need more. my parents are about 55-60 and they have eclectic yet sophisticated taste. they're big fans of npr if that helps at all since i don't know their specific tastes. Here are some ideas:
Teach Your Children - Crosby, Stills, & Nash
Julia - The Beatles
Let It Be - The Beatles
Lady Madonna - The Beatles
Your Smiling Face - James Taylor
Isn't She Lovely? - Stevie Wonder
Watching Scotty Grow - Bobby Goldsboro
The Men In My Little Girl's Life - Mike Douglas
Cat's In The Cradle - Harry Chapin i have one The Tubes- Shes a Beauty Here's to Life - Lainie Kazan's version I'm from the 1960 and the bands at the the time rolling stones the holly's the Beatles the who Stevie wonder on
Motown dave clarke 5 the trogs look no the net Eric Clapton-My Fathers Eyes
Harry Chapin-Cats in The Cradle
Cat Stevens-Father and Son
Crosby,Stills,Nash&Young-Teach Your Children Well
Lynard Synard (Spelling?) also did a great song about a parent singing to their son about being a man soon the title escapes me.
Eric Clapton-Tears In Heaven Off hand I can only think of one
Daughter - The Blenders.
