I find myself listening to about 6 hours of music a day at work. Normally I find music over time, an album or track here or there, but I'm exhausting my Zune and CD collection now and Pandora/TuneIn isn't cutting it.
My problem is that I like a lot of genres. Classical, classic rock, alternative rock, pop from every decade, hip hop, power metal, world music, electronica, country, new age, and pretty much every genre within soundtrack music or featuring very talented vocalists. Basically, I love music and there are very few genres that I avoid completely.
The problem is that I find it hard to weed out "the best of the best" in each genre, because generally that's what I like. Most of the music I like and own is fairly popular within its genre, and there are very few obscure bands or artists that I listen to. I don't do that on purpose - usually I listen to music first and only discover later whether or not it's currently popular.
So, ATOT, please help help me out. Recommend a few albums in any genre or multiple genres. It doesn't matter if it's new music or old, just something that's considered very good. I prefer to listen to whole albums as opposed to singles, though, as it's easier to make a playlist for a day.
I used to have a much larger collection, but that was several years ago in high school when I used to (illegally) download music. I'm strictly legit now, and there's a lot more I want to add. Here's what I currently have on my PC (minus a lot of the classical, which I've been listening to on YouTube from recommendations in the classical music thread(s)):
