Song Suggestions

[Crimsonthread]

As a teacher, I'm always looking for ways to get my students pumped about learning and excited to be at school. My most recent project that I'm trying to undertake is creating a mixed CD to play during transitional times in my class. However, being a decade or two older than my students, I'm a bit out of touch with what younger generations listen to.

I'm looking for song suggestions to add to my list, mostly from the younger loonies. I'm open to anything from hip hop to rap to alternative to oldies, literally anything upbeat. Of course, the lyrics would have to be clean. If possible, it would be really nice if you could include a link so I can listen to the song.

So... What do you listen to?

I don't quite fit in with the "younger" loonies (), but my niece is in the 5th grade and she's hooked on all things High School Musical (and High School Musical 2). Being it's targeted for kids and teens, I think they lyrics should be clean. I've not heard the music, but here are some links.

Don't know if those might be the kinds of things you're looking for, but I thought I'd throw them out there. Good luck with it.

These days I'm really into techno and techno/rock and stuff like that -- try searching for these songs:

Thomas Falke "Revolution On The Dance Floor"
Groove Cutter "My Shooter"
Control One "Just A Little Bit"
Ian Carey "Redlight"
Kevin Weg "Dead Radio"

I don't usually go for techno but these are sort of like a wierd crossover between rock and techno/trance.

Here are also some downloads with some other cool stuff too -- http://www.electricfilebox.com/tracks
