I've currently added this album. I'm a big fan, and I think this is quite accessible for kids. It's probably a 90's and 00's equivalent to the Tom Petty greatest hits album when you think about it: radio songs that rock, with connections to rootsier forms of music.

Fully support this decision 
Billie Holiday would help too.
Edit: you choose well on other female artists. Didn't think of it that way when I saw it last.
Cranberries or Blondie?

I also think it's easy, when everything is available, to not truly care about any of it, and I would like my kids to form an attachment to a definable, if limited body of music, and to build life-memories around that music. That's exactly what has happened in my life. I think physical music helps do that: you have to handle it, you have to store it, you have to categorise it, you have to look after it, you have to spend your hard-earned pocket money on it.
We have Apple Music in the house, but I also have maybe 1,000 CDs, and almost as much vinyl.
My kids have CD players in their rooms, and since I've been bringing them home CDs, they've been taking great pride in it being THEIR music.
It's true that the world doesn't need more plastic, but no one wants CDs anymore, and think about how many are out there that could save from becoming landfill, and the vast majority of them sound better than the same thing on a streaming service.
When I was a teenager it would take me a long time to save for a $30 CD. Now, I walk out of the thrift store with an armful of them at 50 cents a piece, every week. My kids could buy ten a week and still have change out of their pocket money. |
Yes, what will disappear with the CD's and vinyl is the collection we can show and share with friends when they come home. A collection of dowloads is still a collection, but more difficult to show or share. More like a private thing. And with streaming ? well, no more collection ! Replaced by playlists and... charts!
I'm still a bit nostalgic of the disc: buying it, watching the cover, playing it, put it away or aside, choose another one on the shelf... And with the 45's, this process just for one song..

I love Billie Holiday, but for the kids ? Not so sure.. But why not after all.
+ Isn't Madonna's Immaculate Collection missing from your list ?

I would definitely go by genres. Make playlists for different genres to offer as wide a variety as possible, and then whichever one he/she seems to like more, go more intensive in it!
This may also be because I am too indecisive to just pick a few albums and leave out the rest.
