I swear that 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' by Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of AC/DC got me through some tough moments with a newborn. Oh, the irony to hear that song on a xylophone, while addressing a Number Three!
Some of our other favorite albums for playtime are Bare Naked Ladies-Snacktime, Ziggy Marley-Family Time (we love the song "Walk Tall") and anything by Putumayo Kids.
We are also into Ernie & Bert's Greatest Hits, Sesame Street Fiesta Songs, Cowgirl Sue- Giddy Up! Whoa!, Disney Greatest Hits Collection, and Laurie Berkner. Need a soundtrack for toddler tantrums? It's so much more fun when one can sing Justin Roberts-Meltdown (ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-meltown!).
Let me know what your favorites are. We try to keep it fresh (and so clean, clean!) in our household.

We really liked "For the Kids" http://www.amazon.com/Kids-Various-Artists/dp/B00006L7QX
