L loves TMBG, of course, and not just their kid CDs. He also likes the Housemartins, and Coldplay, and the Cranberries, and 10,000 Maniacs. I think he likes these bands because they have strong melodies and the beats are creative, but not overbearing. None of them are specifically kids' music.
When I was in Santa Cruz I took him to a moms and babies singalong group weekly. You might actually check at community centers and churches in your area for something like this (non-religious, of course, some of them are just fun campfire-style songs). This really got him engaged in moving to music, hearing the beat, and singing along at an early age and it has stuck with him.
