serge gainsbourg - cool french pop from the late 60s...look for melodie nelson or his collaborations with jane birkin and bardot. seems like he had a fun life.
laurindo almeida - good jazz samba or bossa nova stuff out of brazil decades ago
deltron 3030 - paranoid-intellectual hip hop
rachmaninof - piano master
amon tobin - exceptional electronica artist
buckwheat zydeco - cajun accordianist/snazzy dresser/chronic smiler
air - good french music of today's car commercials and movie soundtracks
buena vista social club - aging cubans jam like its 1962
rjd2 - whitey from ohio brings the beats
louis armstrong - that trumpet guy
neutral milk hotel - lo-fi musical gem
morphine mambo jazz club - probably not on i-tunes but worth a listen
blues...i dunno...maybe albert king, albert collins, leadbelly, oliver sain, bessie smith, or fats waller (variety of styles)
steve earle is kind of bluesy. he's on the butt rock stations but has some decent music.
