One down, one to go although my 11 year old has been listening to Italian Pop songs for some reason. Here's hoping he's turning out to be as eclectic as his dad
He's 11... aside from the Eminem thing, we're working on it... I have tried to foster a love of Devin Townsend in him, starting with the Ziltoid album and I've since moved on... it seems to be working, he pretty much every DT album i play to him, so good taste is gaining traction in his collection... I agree with you though, steady coaxing into better music can pay off!

Well both of mine don't like metal much at all and I have given up on that but in all seriousness, all I want them to have is an open mind towards music whatever they listen to and seek out music irrespective of it's popularity and instead listen and love and that's what happened with my eldest which does make me proud.

I was playing a DJ Shadow track recently and he was so chuffed because he loves that track (Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt) but didn't know what it was called or who the artist was. Cool points for me

Off topic-apologies.
