Music Lovers... I need your help

[watchingthemoon]

I'm contemplating the purchase of a portable digital music playing device... so I need anyone and everyone to recommend music for me to listen to, so i can decide if this would, in fact, be a worthwhile purchase. Thanks in advance, Nick.

I already have the complete Dar Williams, Modest Mouse, and Belle and Sebastian...and a fair collection of James Taylor. The others I'll check out.
