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!

Some artists I can think of in a similar vein:
Susan Tedeschi
Lyle Lovett
Jackson Browne
Tracy Nelson
Cyndi Lauper, esp. her recent blues release
Joss Stone, esp. Soul Sessions
If you liked Paul Simon's Graceland, his S. African singers, Ladysmith Black Mambazo have some great records, including one w western pop singers.
Marc Cohen
