Suggestions needed: Cd's/Songs to add to daughter's iPod Shuffle

[Krispy]

My daughter is getting a shuffle for her 7th birthday and I was trying to think of some good music to add on it for her. Any Suggestions?

iTunes carries the Kidz Bop series, which has a lot of popular songs "cleaned up" for a younger listener.

Barenaked Ladies, despite their name, have a ton of good songs. There aren't swears and the songs don't have bad meanings. If I had $1000000 or 1 week or Brian Wilson or anything really. I could go on and on.

I have ripped down all 5 of my Classic Disney collection CD's (just about every song you can think of from most Disney movies up to about Toy Story), all of my Disney park CD's, and DD's Disney Mania CD's. DD9 has the contents of all of the above on her MP3 player. Also some songs from the Playhouse Disney and Nick Jr. CD's.

With that (we have very eclectic music tastes, and the kids share them LOL) she has some 60's rock (Monkees, Beatles, etc), and some folk music (Peter, Paul and Mary, the Irish Rovers, etc) - she loves songs like "If I Had a Hammer", "Tie Me Kangaroo Down", "Puff the Magic Dragon", "This Land is Your Land", etc. She has many works by Henry Mancini - both the little kids LOVE his music - he wrote things like the theme from "The Pink Panther" and "Hawaii 5-O"... they love to dance to his music.

Finally, she has a few songs that are currently popular, that her dad and I like and I think are OK for her to listen to - she hears them on the stereo in the car anyway.. and a few anime themes and other weird stuff that DD15 listens to.

DD11 just got an ipod for Christmas. She chose to download music from Alvin and the Chipmunks and Miley Cyrus, among others.

Is she strictly a "top 40" type of girl? Or does she still like kids' music? If she'll still listen to kid stuff, Tom Chapin has several CDs of original music (he's Harry Chapin's brother) geared toward kids, but I always enjoyed it as well. These were the first kids CDs that I didn't threaten to throw out the window after listening once. I'm sure you can find them at a library.

She's kinda eclectic in her tastes she still watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with her brother - yet LOVES Wizard's and Miley... So I was thinking along those lines - Alvin and the Chipmunks is one I hadn't thought of... The Kidz Bop Cd's are another that I will have to check out - she loves some of the new songs on the radio but it scares me when she goes around singing the "real versions"
