As a rock and roller, I definately like to recommend stuff that rock and roll parents can enjoy with their rock and roll kids. The title here says it all. Rock and Roll.
Sesame Street has been the tops when it comes to rockin kid songs since the sixties man!
THE WORD IS NO song is sung by a non muppet, and a pretty cute non puppet at that. Gina, from back in the days when she was a ripped jeans wearing teenager on the show in the eighties. I like it. Holds up.
Others hold up too. MONSTER IN THE MIRROR, TELEPHONE ROCK, the Rolling Stones parody (I Cant Get No) COOPERATION (the Mick Jagger muppet is hillarious!), or the HIP TO BE[a]SQUARE song.
Admittedly there are quite a few missing, as I have over the past years since having a baby worked on collecting as many Sesame Street rock videos as I can... a personal favorite that is missing is the Bruce Springsteen parody Baby We were Born To Add...or the "now I am a Cereal Girl" or even the Alice Cooperish "Theres 18 sandwiches and I dont know what to do"... but this is a great start, containing a dozen or so ROCK songs for kids, and I have no problem tossing in this one, cranking up the volume, and getting down with the Muppets. Cuz they know how to rock the cradle, man.
Also props to the main character here. A DJ known as Jackman Wolf (get it?) who has sort of a secret appetite for eating little piggies.

My kids love Elmo's World and other various Sesame Street DVD's. This one just isn't one of their favorites. It doesn't capture them, but I enjoy it. My kids are 2 & 3 but it just doesn't keep their interest.

My favourite segment on this DVD is The Telephone Rock with Jerry & The Monotones.I always loved their segments.
My second favourite is The Word Is"No"with Gina and Maria.

Once again the CTW does it for the kids (fun songs) and the grownups (lots of sly pop references).
Jackman Wolf (see?) takes requests from everyone: Bert, Oscar, and (my favorite Street hottie) Gina, for whom Jackman plays both Chrissie and the Hearbeats's masterpieces "You're Alive" and the brilliant "Rock and Roll Readers" ("when we're not onstage we're likely to be/making an appearance at the library"). Other standouts are "(I Can't Get No)Cooperation" by... wait for it... the CobbleStones, and the "No" song featuring Gina and Maria.
No ABCs or counting on this one, just fun fun fun! And best of all... NO ELMO!

My one year old daughter loves this movie (from the library). When we put it on, she gazes at the T.V. nonstop. Now I'll be looking for this movie to buy from the stores or from here. I recommend this for kids-babies and adults alike.
