My 18-month-old son has terrible taste in music

[jdomaha]

So I ran an experiment a few minutes ago with my youngest son. He loves watching "Wheels on the Bus" videos on YouTube, so I figured - hey, let's see what kind of music he likes. We sat in front of the kitchen computer while we're waiting for shrimp to cook and I brought up a bunch of Youtube videos of different kinds of music.

He likes most kid music, which makes sense. But as for other kinds of music:

Rap - No, he fusses
Heavy Metal - No, he fusses
R&B - No, he squirms and fusses
Electronic/Techno - No. Not into it. Didn't fuss, but seemed kind of bored.

Conway Twitty's "Linda on my mind"? Loves it. He sat there and sang along with it. Baby talk, but he matches the notes and tempo nicely.

He's not so much into the newer country, but apparently he has a deep love for Conway Twitty. I am not sure what caused this, and I am also not sure how to fix it.

It was a suggested video when we went to country. Tried new country first, then saw Conway Twitty and was like, "He'll HATE this!" Was quite wrong.

Are you sure this is YOUR son? :-D

Maybe while you were dickrolling people on Wickedfire your girl had a little giddi-widdi with Conway Twitty...

Most likely not. Twitty's been dead for almost 20 years.

What's wrong with Conway Twitty? If he is good enough to be on Family Guy, he is good in my books.

Family guy hasn't produced a single even slightly humorous episode since their second season.

Try him on heavy rock or screamo.

It totally sounds like kids music, with the deep voice and tempo. No surprises.

I don't see anything wrong with kids liking what kids like, awww...

Get used to this music when you're 64 dude. lol

That's cos you started him too late.

We made a point of playing thumping techno to our daughter when she was still in the womb. As a results, she has excellent taste in music.
