Yeah, I picked out certain songs and allowed him to play those ~ some of their songs were absolutely the most provocative that I've heard in years. They were a big no-go. But 'far away' I let him down load (he said 'no thanks' to that one...), and also, there was one other song of theirs that I told him he could download onto his mp3 player ~ 'saving me,' I think it was. He said no thanks to that as well.
He moved on to Queen. Much better choice, I thought.
In my review of his music, that was the biggest surprise to me, was nickelback. When I screen their music I have to listen to the songs about 5 times each, cause I always miss stuff the first few times. And I'd rather listen to the music than look up the lyrics online.
Good job, btw, on refusing music to your kid that you believed to be inappropriate.
