+1 on Petty. All his albums sound different but great. I was gonna list Wildflowers as maybe the best recording. Shadow People is one of my "Test" songs when evaluating changes. 

Muddy Waters-folk singer

Traffic-low spark of high heeled boys

Rodney Crowell-Aint living long like this

Little feat- Dixie Chicken & Sailin Shoes

Level 42-first & World Machine

Donald Fagen-the night fly

Allman Brothers-eat a peach

Chet Baker-Chet

Steve Earl-the mountain

Alison Krauss & Union Station -New Favorites

John Prine- john prine

I could go on...
