Re: Michael Jackson
I also don't think parents should force their musical tastes on their kids (it's sure to end badly), but I'd probably do what my mum did when I was growing up and leave just play lots of different great music all the time so that the children would grow up at least appreciating it. It worked well with me anyway. I love all the music my mum used to play around the house (Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, James Brown, etc) and it's given me a very diverse taste.
