Hey lullaby lovers,
We’ve updated our poll at the Rockabye Baby! online store. Go check it out and vote for your favorite candidate to be lullabied. If your choice isn’t on the poll, leave it here in the comments. Your pick may make it onto future ballots.
Some of you may wonder why we haven’t released lullaby renditions of all the great rock bands on the poll yet. It takes months and even up to a year to make a perfect lullaby album. We work really closely with the producers, draft after draft, to get the instruments sounding as soft and sweet as possible. We hope the work pays off in the sound of silence coming from your nursery!
So what are we up to now? Lullaby Renditions of Queen is still rocking the cradle and Aerosmith is coming out Sept. 15, with liner notes by Steven Tyler! We’re hard at work on our lullaby renditions of Guns N’ Roses and it’s so fabulous we can’t stand it. That will be followed up by Kanye West. Oh, yes, you heard us right! Our first Rap-a-bye Baby! It’s going to be super swell.
Not only that, but this fall we have a way cool gift edition coming out — it’s a download card good for any Rockabye Baby! digital album, housed in an adorable eco-friendly package with a baby food recipe, temporary tattoos, paper dolls, and more fun stuff. This is going to be the world’s best baby shower gift, because you don’t have to guess which CDs your friends want, or what they might already have. View it here.
Oh, yeah, we updated the look of our blog, too! What do you think?
That’s a lot of work for such sleepy bears to handle, but luckily for us, napping is always encouraged at lullaby world headquarters.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ,
Your friends at Rockabye Baby!
The Foo Fighters need to be lullabied!!!

posted on 6:09 pm on 9/11/09Creedance! Fun familiar songs that would make great lullabies!
posted on 6:42 pm on 9/12/09How can you even consider some of the artists when you haven’t done David Bowie? He could easily fill 2 cd’s and he should have been second on your list after The Beatles. I haven’t even seen a discussion anywhere including his name and yet you’re throwing names like Bon Jovi and Slayer on the poll? Wow.
posted on 6:51 am on 9/13/09Most definetly Slayer, they saved me!!!!
posted on 4:27 pm on 9/13/09Love all the songs soo far, still trying to decide what albums i want to get myself… theres sooo many awesome ones
wish there was compilation disks)ones where we pick the songs from the different albums and you just make it on one disk), or like multi pack purchases:) Cause theres just soo many great ones so far 
posted on 5:29 pm on 9/13/09Anyways my suggestions for new ones would have to be as following.
-Linkin Park(fav)
-The Used
-Three Days Grace
-The Doors
-Papa Roach
-Evanescence
Lastly – 3Doors Down
Howdy folks!
Thanks for all the great ideas and passionate responses! Jacob, we are already hard at work lullaby-ing David Bowie, which is why he’s not on the poll.
Dream on…and on and on,
posted on 10:00 am on 9/14/09Your friends at Rockabye Baby!
I’d love to see your spin on Coldplay’s X&Y, give you already have “A Rush of Blood to the Head”. Other ideas:
* The Frames
* Arcade Fire
* Crowded House
* Harry Chapin (”Cats in the Cradle” makes him an obvious choice)
* REM (seriously, you haven’t already?)
Looking forward to whatever you come up with next
posted on 5:31 pm on 9/14/09Wow! Kanye West? Really? There’s got to be a better Rapper than him! Anyone else would do!!
posted on 8:12 pm on 9/15/09Love the rest! Would like to see some Pearl Jam, Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews.
I’d love to see either Faith No More or the Deftones please.

There are soo many choices – let me just start w/ these… (my list could be very long) Pearl Jam, BUSH, Depeche Mode, The Police, Cold Play, The Cranberries, DEF LEOPPARD, Bon Jovi, Kings Of Leon, The Killers, Prince, Red Hot CHili Peppers, Duran Duran, Prodigy, Ministry, Foo FIghters, and I am telling you this list doesn’t end here… I could keep going. (anything alternative rock I LOVE) I own everyone of your CDs & the country ones… and I will continue to buy them – You haven’t let me down yet.. So I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next… I am dying for Guns N Roses to come out already.
posted on 10:11 pm on 10/19/09DAve MAtthews would be cool.
posted on 2:27 pm on 10/24/09I think my little ones would love to hear their mother’s and father’s favorite bands when they were growing up: Rush and The Monkees.

posted on 5:42 pm on 6/6/10I strongly feel that Evanescence should be the next. There music is great. I got the ‘Nirvana’ Rockabyebaby for my nephew when he was a newborn and it worked a treat. Put him to sleep everytime. Imagine what Evanesence would do.
Here’s some that I would love you guys to come out with
*Evanescence (kinda courious as to why it had not been done?)
*KoRn
*Seether
I would def!!! buy these ones.

Awesome, Emmy! Thanks for the suggestions! We’ve got a couple of those in your list lined up already – but we’ll definitely jot the others down.
posted on 9:27 am on 6/22/11I’m completely disappointed. Some awful bands listed.
posted on 10:58 pm on 6/24/11Where’s Alice in Chains. They have soo much good musice, they’d be easy. Like the Soundgarden idea (or maybe just call it Chris Cornell, and include all his work). One last suggestion- STP.
Well hopefully you won’t be disappointed with some of the bands that are on our list for next year! There are definitely some gems headed your way!
posted on 9:31 am on 6/27/11I think RHCP would be great! With them having a new CD out soon it would be awesome to have a daytime and bedtime jam for my son!
posted on 5:32 pm on 6/28/11Oh, I think we’re thinking on the same wave lengths, Meghan!
posted on 10:30 am on 6/29/11It could be great and awesome if you release Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Type O Negative
