Inspired By

Rock Music For BabiesThis contest theme was inspired by the Rockabye Baby! albums that I recently discovered and immediately loved! The lullaby renditions of punk, metal, classic rock songs by some of my all-time favorite bands make a cool gift idea for first-time parents, new babies and hip families.

What a fun way for moms and dads to share their musical interests in a totally kid-friendly way. The songs are sweet enough for a sleeping baby, but won't bore their parents to death either.

Visit the Rockabye Baby! music store to search for your favorite band. There are over 25 bands to choose from including, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Green Day, No Doubt, Aerosmith, Nirvana, The Cure, Metallica, U2, Tool and more!
