Media for Father's Day

In May, I mentioned that Toledo Public Library had listed several recommended DVDs for mothers on their blog, and I tacked on some recommended audiobooks and CDs to their list in a News & Views Mother’s Day post. Well, Sunday is Father’s Day, and Toledo did a post on some great (and not so great) fathers in film. Here’s their list of recommended dad DVDs:

Good Dads
Father of the Bride
Houseboat
Mr. Mom
Parenthood
Pursuit of Happyness
To Kill A Mockingbird

Bad Dads
The Shining
Star Wars: A New Hope
Stepfather
Meet The Parents

So, I once again ask, what about CDs and audiobooks? Here are Midwest Tape’s Father’s Day recommendations:

CDs
Harry Chapin, Cat’s in the Cradle and Other Hits
Van Morrison, Astral Weeks
Bob Seger, Greatest Hits 2
Steve Miller Band, Let Your Hair Down
Luther Vandross, The Ultimate Luther Vandross
Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis, Here We Go Again
Paul Simon, So Beautiful or So What
