I have been thinking about this alot lately myself - We're big music folks and are planning a couple of kinds of mixes.
I'm starting with one thats got alot of what I've been listening to during this pregnancy (With my first, all I wanted to listen to was Sublime and the White Stripes!) - This time through it's been a little more mellow, and we are including:
The Band
James Taylor
Bob Dylan
The Drive By Truckers
Simon & Garfunkel
some select Radiohead.
Joni Mitchell
I also plan on making a comprehensive reggae mix (because I've never met a kid who didn't like reggae!), a mix of our favorite Beatles songs, a country-folk-rock sort of thing with some Gram Parsons and Wilco and Emmylou Harris.
We will also be toting along some Jack Johnson, because he's so groovy and mellow and predictable and could easily be popped on repeat without much notice.
Once the babe is actually born, my husband is planning on playing the guitar for her, so we haven't really thought much about post-birth CDs, but if it came to it, I think that Jack Johnson would do the trick nicely.
Sorry there's not more WOMAN POWER music on here, I know alot of the ladies want that in their birth music, but I'm hesitant to fill my birth center with the sounds of The Breeders and Hole.

But, Natalie Merchant may be nice, or some Fiona Apple or Sinead O'Connor. Maybe I'll work on a Good Groovin' Woman Music Labor CD.
