Music to Impress my Kid's Friends?

Lately, my college aged children have been bringing friends over to here my system and I would love to buy a few great sounding cds that are currently popular. I obviously have lots of quality music to play but it might have more impact on the kids if they were more familiar with the music. I bought the Adele cd thinking that might do the trick but was I wrong. I'd even invest in some current vinyl if I knew they would were outstanding from a recording standpoint. Thanks

OT (sorry).

So, after reading Richard's (typically interesting) post here, I asked myself one important question:

What exactly is "Chiptune" ?

A quick visit to Wikipedia and voila!, a chiptune sample track. Now, this is good stuff: Old Atari video game sounds stitched into music. Alas, I have no unusually well-recorded chiptune selections to recommend to the OP. OTOH, I feel just thismuch better informed on the musical issues of the day than I did 5 minutes ago.

How 'bout spinning something by a little quartet from Liverpool -- The Beatles, I think they were called. I'd bet the kids would know tons of the songs -- but never would have heard 'em sounding so good.
