(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Basically Im putting together a rather large music collection. It will be around 20-40,000 songs. And I need artists and ideas to load up my 160GB iPod Classic. I have put together a pretty good collection of artist so far but if anybody else would like to contribute feel free.

But basically what I'm doing is finding artist first then downloading albums cause its basically impossible to hand pick 40,000 songs so Im downloading albums I might download like "Best of blah" besides just specific albums the artist made but that way I can get the best of 3 albums without downloading 3 albums but it will load up relatively the quickly Im looking to leave 20-50 GB for further adding of albums that come out but I have 150GB of space currently available due to preinstalled firmware and shit.

As you can probably tell I listen to a lot of Hip Hop/Rap and Rock but yeah basically focus on that. Maybe some more Electronic or Country although I don't listen to that much country. Only on occasion.

If you need metal look into animals as leaders and between the buried and me they have long instrumentals that kinda feel like trance I'd you want reg metal just ask

How about Blink 182, Green Day, Biffy Clyro, The Stone Roses, Oasis, The All American Rejects?
Just a few ideas?

Thomas Koner
Troum
The Haxan Cloak
Demdike Stare
Bill Callahan
Nick Drake
Aphex Twin
Hudson
Anthony Green
From the Mouth of the Sun
Go-qualia
Joanna Newsom
Kashiwa Daisuke
Johnny Flynn
Kenmochi Hidefumi

I could list more, but that's enough for now.

1,000 songs or groups to listen to before you die. May be a good start
