My sirius got turned back on for a free trial and I'm finding myself listening almost exclusively to the smooth jazz station (66 watercolors).
I've always enjoyed Enya, Kitaro, spyro gyra and am discovering a few new artists I had not noticed before (the rippingtons, Kim waters).
I'd love to find a web site that would recommend different artists based on what you listen to, but for now I'll ask you guys.
Who do you like to listen to?

Spotify! Or Pandora! You can find music based on what you already like. Opened up a whole world of music to me.
Also, you should check out Sigur Ros.
Mumford & Sons is my current go to.

absolutely Pandora! (I haven't checked out Spotify just yet.....I'm hooked on Turntable.fm, but that requires having a few people available to "spin" tunes) Pandora has an algorithm that takes what you choose as your "station" - a focus artist or song - and finds things that are similar. loop - I M&S too, the new single that's out is just great. I pulled over in the car earlier to shazam a radio cover that I totally knew the song and was pretty sure the voice was M&S singer. it was The Boxer, covered by Jerry Douglas, featuring M&S and Paul Simon, according to shazam. it's on my iTunes to-buy list, it was that good.

Enya is very good, Vangelis, too. The Theme from Missing has long been a tension breaker for me. I can feel the tendons in my neck and mscles in my shoulders loosen up every time.
