LOL Of course you need help!

Celtic rock.

Not certain that you'll actually have it, but it amuses me. I like it.

MPB - Música Popular Brasileira

I recommend Marcos Valle and Milton Nascimento. Better than the tropicalia guys (or equal to Mutantes and Gal Costa). Nascimento is like Van Morrison with the musical chops of McCartney. He is a major talent.

Try "Clube de esquina" for size.

Music of the Spheres for Squares.

I don't have any of that chart-busting genre myself so all information is second-ear. You take The Music of the Spheres -- the dance of the celestial bodies -- and give it the ol' Lawrence Welk treatment. If you will, Musak of the Spheres. It's what you'll hear on the Space Elevator.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Whenever I don't know what I want to listen to, I'll pick something I haven't heard in a long time. Perhaps even something I didn't like. Most often it will kick my ears into gear to decide on a real listen, but every now and then I'll like the tangent. Making up new genres is fun, especially if they're on the periphery of old ones.

Heck, as I was typing the last reply, I realized that I have some music that might (by stretching the definition) be classified as Music of the Spheres for Squares. Basically, it's Mozart done semi-Musak to give massages by. No, I don't listen to it very often (or at all), and tend to give massages to Celtic Harp. But still. If I thought too hard I might be able to come up with more examples.
