Make Me A Playlist

I am so tired of my music.

I feel like I've overplayed every CD I own. My iPod has nothing interesting on it. I've been just listening the the local Top 40 station in my car, but I swear to you, if I hear "No Air" and "Bleeding Love" back to back one more time like I have for three consecutive mornings now, I am going to puncture my ear drums with an ice pick.

So I turn to you, dear readers. Point me toward some good music and artists. Lead me toward the fountain of iTunes and tell me what to drink.

In case you're wondering what kind of music I like...I kinda like everything. Except newer country. I don't hate any music except for overplayed pop, Toby Keith, and Nickelback.

Currently on my iPod I have everything from Dixie Chicks and Garth Brooks to Nirvana and Disturbed. I have one playlist called "Sad Songs" that's nothing but weepy overwrought ballads one might hear on Delilah (if you're into that sort of thing.) I also have a playlist called "Alt" where I hide a lot of my favorite lesser-know artists like Regina Spektor. Then there's my "Running" playlist, which features a tune each by Kanye West and Eminem, because rap-lite gets my feet moving during a 5K. So you can see I'm pretty much open to anything.

If you can insert links to a You Tube video for said artist or song to better plea your case, awesome! Otherwise, just list some song titles or performers who are rocking your world and who might shake me out of my current musical rut.
