Help me discover some new music...


Hi, Gang,

My rig is finally at a level that I don't feel a great need to invest in new gear. Rather, I'm looking for new music to discover. I feel like I'm listening to a lot of the "same old stuff."

I listen to mostly rock and pop, with a little orchestral/soundtrack music thrown in and a bit of jazz, too.

Here's what I know and love:

Steely Dan (including Becker and Fagen solo efforts)
Sade
James Taylor
Beatles
Dire Straits
Bonnie Raitt
Eagles
Paul Simon
Some classical Chesky LP's
Joe Jackson
Ingrid Michaelson
Chicago
Basia
Blood, Sweat and Tears
Earth Wind and Fire
Supertramp
Queen

,,, and a lot of other things I'm not thinking of right now.

Anybody want to be my "Pandora" and suggest things I should check out? Great music is primary, but great sonics also appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

"Music reflects the times that it was recorded in" and if you liked the 60's and 70's you will hate most music from the 80's up to today!

Here are some from "since the 80's" that I like:

Dave Holland group
Karrin Allyson
Cheryl Bentyne
Chris Rea
Clannad
Concrete Blonde
Diana Krall
Eliza Gilkyson
Eva Cassidy
Holly Cole
John Abercrombie
Lisa Stansfield
The Motels
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Natalie Merchant
Peter Epstein
Rory Block
Todd Garfinkle
Tracy Chapman

Many genres but all good.
