Is the music of "They Might Be Giants" , other than their material made specifically for kids, generally appropriate for children?

I know they have 2 albums that are "for the entire family" and some other material that is suitable for kids, but what about their songs in general? Songs like The Sun, Particle Man, She's An Angel, Istanbul, etc...? What do you think?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Just like any band, you need to listen to most songs first. TMBG are a little easier on young ears than most...but...they still have their moments like any artist attempting to make a point

I don't remember hearing anything but G/PG stuff from TMBG.

All their popular stuff - Birdhouse In Your Soul, Istanbul, Particle Man, etc. - is appropriate for all!
