my nephew is 8 and my friend wants to buy him a cd of a rock band or the like as he likes Mc Fly but has their album.....any suggestions??

Cue the suggestions of "Cradle of Filth" etc...

Coldplay might be the most accesible for an 8 year old. Maybe Keane, or Maroon 5 at a push.*

My 8 year old bro loves Good Charlotte. Also Queen for some strange reason

8 is an impressionable age. Buy him a good classic album, like Led Zeppelin or The Beatles. He'll thank you for it years later.

i dont think i could inflict maroon 5 or Keane on him !!!

My cousin was really into Thin Lizzy when he was about 8, their music (the likes of the best of. etc) is really accessable to anyone. The Beatles are always a good idea, content is fine for an 8 year old and the music is good too.

Failing that The Mars Volta, scare the boy straight!

Don't get him some shitty new pop music. I definetly would concur with an old classic, something accessable and rockin' would steer him in the right direction

. Queen and Thin Lizzy were great examples, perhaps AC/DC, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Guns N' Roses, etc? Have fun.
