Okay /b/ I've forgotten what it's like to be young and I'm lost right now.
What are some essential artists and songs for a smart ten year old who's never listened to music? So far I've been thinking select songs from Bowie, The Police, Radiohead, Frank Sinatra, Four Seasons, Barry Manilow (maybe?), Animals and some Wagner and Tchaikovsky to really stretch his mind. I'm also considering foreign-language artists like Renato Carosone and Eduard Khil.
And not that I want to turn him into a communist, but I'm a huge fan of the vocal theatrics in Red Army Choir and was considering them for him to try as well.
What do you guys think? Should I add or take away anything?
Story for those who are interested:
young cousin recently moved to my city with his senile grandparents, hasn't made any friends yet except for a few kids from the block. He's had a shitty life so far, some shit happened to his parents so they can't take care of him right now. He's a lonely kid but he's a good kid and he's so smart.
For his birthday I want to buy him an mp3 player and put on it a wicked track list. He's never had one before since his side of the family isn't so well off. But he never asks for anything and toys he does get at Christmas he keeps looking brand new so I feel he very much deserves this, and it would be coming at the right time.
Thanks again, you fucking faggots. Will be providing tits and ass as you think about my 10 year old male cousin.

Classic rock, swing/big band/jazz, oldies, classical, pretty much a variety of everything. Another fun thing is to take him to a classical music concert (exciting one for his first one) or musical. It's a great experience, a lot of fun, and chalked full of culture. It's a great thing you're doing op, good luck!

honestly it is a nice idea but I think you would do better paying for a course/sport/club for him, taking him there and helping him bond over things with younger people his age.
This music thing will make is brain going sure but it won't make him happy... he deserves friends and having someone helping him to socialise without getting told to.

NO CLASSIC ROCK OR HE WILL GROW UP A MASSIVE FAGGOT FEDORALORD BEING BULLIED TROUGHOUT HIS SCHOOLLIFE

Fucking thanks anon, great ideas. Love the concert idea too, unfortunately we don't get too many of those here. But the next city over an hour away is larger with a younger population, so they have lots of dinner theaters, different concerts halls playing different genres, and some non-bar restaurants with live indie bands. Will definitely consider doing this too, thanks again.

I don't know if he's too interested in sports? We tried to get him to do soccer last year, but turns out he just walked off camp a lot. Can't afford hockey, maybe I'll ask him if there's something specific he wants to do. Thanks for the tip

whoooooo the helllllll caaaaaaaaaaaaares if any one bullies him i'll eat them anyway. besides i think we're looking into homeschooling/tutoring all the youngins in the family soon and ditching canada's shitty liberal public school system. I've already been charged with teaching them french and taking them to their provincial exams for proficiency testing
