| Generation X's "Led Zepplins"
I was born in '81 now I have a 17 month old and another on the way. Of course my parents loved and passed on the greats from their generation. Pink Floyd, Beatles, Led Zepplin, Hendrix, etc, etc...
So I ask you, "Generation X", who is your Floyd, Hendrix and Lennon you would want to pass on to your kids? Here are only a few of mine; YouTube - OutKast - B.O.B. - Outkast "B.O.B.". This song is 10 years old! Outkast has always been ahead of their time and is always breaking new ground in hip-hop. YouTube - Where did you Sleep Last Night? - Nirvana (Unplugged)(HD)with dialogues subtitled/dialogos subtitulados - Nirvana "My girl". Nirvana without a doubt owned the 90s. This performance was one of their last live performances... YouTube - Deftones - Change (In The House Of Flies) (Video) - Deftones "Change". Another song that is nearly 10 years old. This just brings back so many memories.... YouTube - Dave Matthews Band - Satellite - Dave Matthews Band "Satellite". I think Dave is probably one of the best vocalists of our generation. Love his stuff with Tim Reynolds. YouTube - Michael Jackson - Billie Jean - Michael Jackson "Billie Jean". Despite what he did off the stage, this man OWNed the 80s. I LOVE all 80s music but I can always sum up the 80s with MJ. YouTube - Metallica - Fade to Black - Metallica "Fade to Black". Need I say more?
Like I said, this is only a few that will grace my childrens ears  I could go on and on with some. GNR, Kanye, Jay-Z, Queens of the Stone Age, Tool, Pearl Jam, on and on and on..
Let's see some of yours.  |

| Right now, my kids 2,2 and 4 are loving Steve Earle as well as the Traveling Wilburys. I've made some subtle attempts at John Prine to no avail.

Pearl Jam-one of the greatest band of all-time, still making great music.
John Mayer-excellent musician and song-writer.
Lupe Fiasco-need I say more?
I could go on and on.

| Baby Boomers = 1946-1964
Gen X = 1962-1982
Gen Y = 1981-2000
These are roughly the years (yes I know they overlap)
