Default What do you listen to in the car?

Hey there all you parents of little ones. Just a quick question, when you have a car/van/wagon/bus load of kids, what do you listen to?

Depends on how young you're talking about but I'm all about stuff from the Brite Music company. Of course I don't find it annoying because it's songs I listened to when I was a kid so I'm singing along louder than my son, but it's good stuff!

Not that often that we have a car full of kids. Mostly, I listen to conference tapes, MoTab, and conservative talk radio. We are old and boring. That is what I listen to.

But sometimes what I hear is screeching brakes, and horns honking. Depends on who is driving.

When my kids are in the car, I like to listen to some of their favorites but honestly, I can't do it all the time. Sometimes I drive as a break from the day. I take the kids with me because I have to. During these trips, I like to listen to talk radio. Currents events, news and stuff. Is that wrong? Should I not expose my 4 year old daughter and 1 year old son to that?

I try to indoctrinate them as completely as I can so that means large doses of Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Bill O'Reilly just to balance things out. There is never anything good on FM stations these days, just screaming or bubblegum pop. So I also expose them to the greatest genre of music ever known to man, that's right 80's alternative.... You know what I'm talking about!!

Currently? Queen's Greatest Hits. My second grader does a mean Bohemian Rhapsody.

Radio: NPR....so as to indoctrinate the kids properly.

You know every piece of music you put in the player eventually turns into "Queen's Greatest Hits"?

(Brownie Poitns to anyone who gets that )

NPR if we're listening to the radio, if we're listening to CD's it's a grab-bag. Erasure, Mika (who's songs might as well be on a kids' CD! My kids love the Lollipop song!), Enya, Sting, LOTR's soundtracks, CARS sound track, and a variety of Christmas music.

AM talk radio until they beg "can we listen to music PLEEEEEASE!!!" Then we listen to country - which despite its problems, is the last bastion of moral music around.

We often listen to "Kids' Praise" type music, including old CDs from their past Vacation Bible School sessions. Then again, sometimes we expose them to the regular praise music we sing in church, so they are accustomed to it. And, once in a while we play the radio, Spirit 105.3 (Contemporary Christian Music)...which has a "kids' safe" promise to its listeners.
