Music for toddlers and parents?

Good point, Swampwalker, about "Fantasia" -- I can't recall how old my (now college-age) daughters were when they first watched it -- in any case, they were old enough to watch it fearlessly and repeatedly with delight.

And a few more to add:

Grieg, Peer Gynt suite (esp "In the Hall of the Mountain King")

Rossini, various overtures

A lively CD anthology called "Baby Dance: Toddler's Jump on the Classics"

my 4 y.o. daughter and i enjoy raffi quite a bit. the material is generally well recorded and produced, the songs are just long (or short, depending on your perspective) enough, and (imho) singing silly songs together is a great bonding experience. classic stuff.

i was also pleasantly surprised to find that a few of the discs we have from the late 70s were recorded by none other that daniel lanois (with him noted to be playing pedal steel guitar on one entitled "more singable songs").

I'll second Sara Hickman, but also check out Trout Fishing in America. great music great writing. Start with the kids stuff and work your way up.

Rockaway Baby! has lullabies of major artists, NIN to Tool to the Stones. I am very fond of the Radiohead disc.
