    Any folks here of a "certain age" -- 55 or so -- who might have some suggestions of songs my mom might like?

    She bought an IPOD Nano in September and Dad said she has finally figured out how to work it -- sorta.

    Thought for Christmas I might gift her a few dozen tunes.

    I remember most of the albums she has stashed away tend toward Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Joan Baez and Dylan.

    I think I can come up with enough of the above, but are there any new -- current artists that might mesh with someone of her age, taste? All I can come up with is Pink Martini....

    My mum is a little older than that - she's in her mid-60s. She has a big thing for Coldplay. And David Gray. And some of the gentler Florence and The Machine stuff. And you can't go wrong with the Beatles.

    New artists (where "New" = "Made after 1990") that people who like lighter classic rock might like?

    Hmmm. Maybe The Decemberists, Kate Bush, Winterpills, and/or early Tori Amos.

    I'm about the same age as your mom. Dixie Chicks, Michael Penn and Gomez all have some of the folksy protesty feel I get the impression she likes.

    Indeed.

    Create channels with the artists you know your mother likes and see what other artists they play.
