Heres one to set you off :
Niece is about 13 and has recently been listening to a bit of Nirvana and asked me if I had a copy of the Verve........what to get her for Xmas ? I considered bands like Blondie - Parallel lines, I think the Nirvana fling was a bit of peer pressure and maybe a bit advanced ?
Nephew is 8 and likes McFly (gotta do something about that

), he listens to a bit of pop hip hop as well.
Right, what would you buy and why?
