do you have babies? do you have friends who have babies? are you a baby?
if you answered yes to any of the above, you need these.
rockabye baby are CD compilations of rock songs transformed into beautiful, kid-friendly instrumentals. the range of artists covered is pretty extensive - radiohead to the stones to tool to smashing pumpkins to metallica. you can preview the tracks or buy them as single mp3s at amazon and some of them are nothing short of amazing - ethereal and gorgeous.
i already have quite a few i want to purchase for my own hypothetical future offspring, not to mention those hypothetical future offspring of my friends, as super-creepy as i realize that sounds.
tripp's babies will get rockabye baby U2, michelle's will get rockabye baby led zeppelin, and dutton's, will of course, get rockabye baby NIN.
who wouldn't want to put their babies to bed to such quality?

Yep, my jaw dropped when I saw Green Day in the Babies-R-Us. Still, for general, boppin'-around kids' music, I'll pick Dan Zanes or Jack Johnson.
