I had to come out of hidding for this post...I just love Queen.
I let the kids listen to many different artists, like Queen, but if I start hearing content coming across that I don't like I make them change the channel on the radio. Then we have a discussion about listening to the words, such as the phrase "brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack" (just hate that song) and what that means, what Jack is, why kids their age shouldn't be singing it and so on.
I try and show them to not just blindly listen and repeat like others at school, but listen and pick apart music. Also to form ideas for themselves instead of blindly following others in school or in popular media. Then they know what I expect of them no matter what kind of stuff they come across.
