BLUEGRASS
Alison Krauss & Union Station. Everyone knows "Man of Constant Sorrow" from the movie Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?, but "When You Say Nothing At All" and "Atlanta" are wonderful, too.
CELTIC
Enya. Her music has become a bit commercialized and maybe even old, but they are still great compositions.
Great Big Sea
Loreen McKennit (& the rest of Celtic Woman)
Chieftains
CLASSICAL
Verdi's Aida
COUNTRY
Brad Paisley. He can pierce your heart with emotion ('Little Moments', 'Didn't Have to Be') or be uproariously funny ('I'm Gonna Miss Her').
Carrie Underwood.
GRUNGE
MUSICALS / FILMS:
Phantom of the Opera (and many other Andrew Lloyd Webber works)
Camelot (and many other Lerner and Loewe works)
Pirates of the Caribbean (The Curse of the Black Pearl)
Sound of Music (and many other Rodgers and Hammerstein works)
Sweeney Todd (beautiful tone contrasts and contrapuntal duets and trios)
REGGAE
Bob Marley -
Spyro Gyra (Do they fit here?)
ROCK
Sheryl Crow.
U2. Is there a (recent) rock song that can compete with 'Vertigo'?
SACRED
I love to hear Handel's Messiah, including the Hallelujah chorus, and For Unto Us a Child is Born.
