20 albums to educate your children with

I attended a 1st birthday yesterday. I gave the child in question a strange birthday present for a first birthday. I gave him his very first two music albums. That got me thinking about the music that I would try to educate my child with one day.So here is a list of the 20 greatest albums that will help to educate your child, one day:#20Elvis, 30 #1 hitselvis.jpg

#3Bob Marley, Legend bobmarley.jpg

#2The Beatles, 1962 - 1966 thebeatles.jpg

#1Queen, Greatest Hits I & II queen.jpg

OK, so I cheated on #1 and gave you a double hit. But Queen, it gets no better.I've thrown in some way back classics, some soul, some funk, some punk, some rock, some now and then and some never to be repeated again.These are my 20, not necessarily the best 20 ever in the world, just my 20. This is very subjective. But if I ever have a child, I want him/her to know these bands, groups or individuals. In my life, they defined me and my taste in music.So thanks to Jayx for this little idea. I am not fond of tagging on blogs, I hate writing ten things, 5 secrets, 50 ideas blah, blah, blah. BUT I do love music and I am extremely interested to know what bloggers listen to and what they regard as classic, eternal music.So I am ammending this post to ask ten other bloggers to post their TOP TEN albums that they would educate their kids with.Here goes:JayxMatthewJustinVincentPaulRafiqSheenaCodaGrantMikeGregor(OK it's more than ten, so shoot me).I hope you all respond and post your top ten albums!
