Also, my daughter loves the Bruce Springstreen album of Pete Seeger covers, I think it's called "the Seeger Sessions' or something like that. It's basically all folk tunes.

I love Elizabeth Mitchell's CD too..unfortunately I can't convince my son to love it!

When they get a bit older, Jim Weiss is a fabulous storyteller who will be able to keep them transfixed in the car.

Its the Backyardigans 24/7 in my house.

- Baby Loves Jazz series, especially Miles the Crocodile Plays the Colors of Jazz

- Really Rosie by Carole King (songs based on the Nutshell Library books by Maurice Sendak)

- The Muppet Show: Music, Mayhem, and More! - The 25th Anniversary Collection. There is nothing sweeter than the little one singing "It's Not Easy Being Green" or belting out "...this is what we call the MUPPET SHOW!"

Careful with the Beatles - make sure you mix your own tape.

My son wanted to know what they were doing in the road.

She probably does. She appears in an episode of "Jacks Big Music Show" on Noggin and sings a great song on it. "JBMS" has a compilation of songs from Season I which is great. Also, a local band does a GREAT CD called "Soundzania" http://www.soundzania.com/

I second They Might Be Giants and am enjoying this thread because I'm looking for new music for my 18-month old. Keep 'em coming!

Ditto this - my daughter also loves the Muppets and is pretty freakin' cute to listen to her sing "Rainbow Connection". Another good Muppet one is the Muppets Christmas CD with John Denver (we listen to it year round!) We also have a CD called "Buddy Songs" that has some of the Disney songs from Cars, Monsters Inc, and other movies covered by some band(s) and it's a lot of fun. We also like "No!" by They Might be Giants and the Jack Johnson Curious George soundtrack.

You never know what kids will like though. For the longest time all she wanted to listen to was the Mozart opera "Zauberfloete" (The Magic Flute) in German -- I kid you not!

Rocknoceros - great AND local.

I'll second the Rocknoceros rec. My dd loves them! And I think they have another CD coming out this fall, too!

Here are some of our other favorites:

The Mother Goose Rocks collection of CDs
Steve Songs
Wiggles
We also listen to a lot of Sinatra (daddy's favorite!)
