Stuck in a Rut

Over the past 30 odd years I have been mostly listening to Rock (Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Bowie and all of the other great British and American bands.
I have also been listening to Jazz (Davis, Brubeck, Chet)
and assorted other Jazz artists.
For classical I love Betthovan's 7th and Tchaikovsky final symphony as examples.
But I know that there other great albums not only in the Rock, Jazz and Symphonic categories but in international ones as well. I would appreciate any suggestions not only on Rock, Jazz or Classical but also on any other category which is not lite but great.

Thanks...

There are tons of great musicians who don't typically get much radio airplay. One great source for me is WXPN a non-profit station in Philadelphia. www.xpn.org is a vast wonderland of bands & albums to check out. Their "XPNessentials" is a great read, for both new stuff & what you already know.
People classify them as "singer-songwriter" whatever that means, but to me it's rock/folk/blues/a bit of jazz; the common thread is real emotion, & not much concern for commercial success. check it out...
