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!

If a dash of harmony and a pinch of twang aren't objectionable ingredients in your musical gumbo, check out Blue Rodeo:
Five Days in July
Tremelo
Days in Between

And for some terrific electric guitar mastery, try Jim Weider:
Remedy
Pulse

And for some ultra-urban rock/funk/jazz, try Con Brio:
From the Hip

+1 David Sylvian! My favorites of his are:
Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow
David Sylvian and Robert Fripp - Damage

Both are seriously great.
