Below, you will find a listing of many, many musicians and bands that I consider worth listening to. Don't be offended if your particular favorites aren't listed here. This is intended to give you a sampling of the music that has influenced me and/or has been influential in the development of key styles of western music over the last few centuries. So, dig in, fire up your stereo, and spend some quality time not watching television!
