What songs would you put on a Mix CD for my 13-year-old niece?

Songs NOT full of f-bombs, OVERLY sexual, or containing OBVIOUS drug references?

I want to make a mix CD (of rock songs) for my niece but I don't want to include anything with a parental advisory or released by Disney (I'm trying not to offend her parents OR my ears). Oh, and no preachy crappy Christian music (sorry if this offends anyone). THANKS!

Her mom mostly listens to Country and her dad Classic Rock.

Update:

Definitely DOES NOT have to be in one of the mentioned genres (that her parent's listen to). I'm trying to broaden her horizons a bit...

Update 2:

I'll leave the thumbs up or thumbs down to other people...

    You could try Paramore.

    They're great.

    Or, along with that, put Chiodos.

    I've never heard a song by either that included a curse, or is Christian, really.

    Chiodos is a better bet if she likes harder (or softer) at the same time. They are hard in some songs, soft in some, soft in the beginning and gets harder, and their lyrics are really touching.

    Paramore is more pop rock than anything besides what I normally listen to, but still amazing.

    Avril Lavigne, Bullet for my Valentine, Norma Jean (screamo, but also a Christian band), In This Moment is really good, Haste the Day's "American Love" is amazing and has killer guitar riffs.

  • Snow Patrol, The Fray, Sixpence None The Richer, Switchfoot, The Click Five.

    I'd pick a bunch of cool female musicians. Search these if you're not familiar with them. They're all GREAT! A mix of indie rock, pop, old faves.

    Metric

    Fiest

    Kimya Dawson (she was on the Juno soundtrack)

    Lily Allen

    Lauren Hill

    Imogen Heap

    Lady Gaga

    Robyn

    Santogold

    Duffy

    KT Tunstall

    Janet Jackson

    Madonna (teach her some classics!)

    Estelle

    Nelly Furtado

    Paramore, Yellowcard, the Rocket Summer, and the Goo Goo Dolls.

    Classic Rock:

    The Beatles

    Here are some more, but you should listen to these first, just in case some are too inappropriate. I don't think that they are, but I don't know if they are in your situation:

    Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

    Led Zeppelin

    The Rolling Stones

    Joni Mitchell

    Jimi Hendrix

    Blondie

    The Pretenders

    well trying to keep it as clean as possible

    open it up with a good opening song

    like hello by oasis

    recent good song is sometime around midnight - airborne toxic event

    one - metallica

    karma police - radiohead

    stand inside your love - smashing pumpkins

    even flow - pearl jam (would recommend jeremy or alive, but ones about a kid shooting himself, and the others about a guys mom raping him)

    zombie - the cranberries

    life on mars? - david bowie

    bohemian rhapsody - queen

    black dog - led zeppelin

    black hole sun - soundgarden

    creep - stone temple pilots

    for the last song, take the final song of a great album like

    eclipse - pink floyd

    farewell and goodnight - smashing pumpkins (not exactly the best song, but it's sweet and makes a good end)

    videotape - radiohead

    purple rain - prince

    street spirit (fade out) radiohead

    Source(s): obviously, those are just suggestions, and those songs dont really go together in that order

    Chiodos

    Paramore

    We The Kings

    The Fray

    Nickelback

    Muse

    Seether

    Three Days Grace

    & you should also try some Avenged Sevenfold

    I HATE THAT CHRISTIAN MUSIC, IT'S HORRIBLE!!!
