help with music?

Hello,

I'm excited by new electonincs (thank you Roger), but music isn't really about equipment.
I'd love to expand my music collection. I feel confident in my music selections for classical, vocalists and country/bluegrass. Unfortunately I don't appreciate hip-hop
I'd love to get some ideas for jazz and rock.
In jazz I like Brubeck and Miles Davis but have been lost by some of the more complex forms of jazz.
My rock is almost all old collections (like Led Z. #1 and Aqualung). A helpful granchild brought over some heavy metal but I couldn't appreciate it. Another one brought over "Dark Side of the Moon" and I loved it.
So with that in mind, could anyone tell me what I might buy in the rock/jazz music? The wonderful new stereo equipment begs me for some new music.

Thanks

Pandora and Youtube are great suggestions.
With Pandora you input an artist and it plays 1 song from that artist, and then branches out with similar artists to the original, then similar to the 2nd group, then similar to the third group, etc. (not quite that linear but that's the idea). You can also like or not like and it will react to that.

iTunes is also pretty good. It's free from Apple. Plug in an artist and listen to samples, and it will give a "what others have bought who have bought this artist" to give you other ideas. Of course you can buy music.
