Mussorgsky and Shostakovich are pretty cool.

for jazz, look at the stuff that's been posted in my jazz thread, plus John Coltrane's Impressions, Miles Davis's Kind of Blue, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Joe Henderson.
For blues, try Elmore James, Blind Lemon Jefferson, BB King, Albert King.

...and anyone else with wider tastes... Broaden my horizons. Give me reggae, jazz, classical, blues, different stuff. Reggae: You HAVE to try Matisyahu. Jazz: Not much of a jazz guy. Classical: Something 20th century or later... try some opera or Yiruma or something. Blues: Not big on blues. |

I'll admit, Bob Marley's my most listened to Reggae artist, but I still know a bit, and I'd reccomend Toots and the Maytals and Lee Scratch Perry for more traditional stuff. Getting out there more I'd say Tappa Zukie and Black Uhuru.
Jazz, I'd say start with some Miles Davis and John Coltrane. I'd also heartily reccomend Sun Ra and Charles Mingus. If you want some wierder shit, I'd be pleased to help.
Classical, pretty much the standards for starters, Brahms, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Vivaldi, Beethoven....
I've been looking into some more modern classical lately so I don't really have some good reccomendations in that area yet.
Blues, Robert Johnson is the number one pick. He's really the first trace of Rock N' Roll you can find in music. Other great ones are SRV, Albert King, Muddy Waters, and John Lee Hooker.

I would give you a bucketload of stuff, but you said different, so:
!!!: unique and awesome sounding
Nujabes: eclectic Japanese-felt turn-table music. Really good for reading
U-Men: Rock-a-billy grunge music
Portishead: Go get their debut and you will be a happy person. They're music hasn't really aged well, but hey, their amazing.
Danger Mouse: Listen to "The Gray Album", a mash-up of The Beatle's "White Album" and Jay-Z's "Black Album".
Brian Eno: 'Nuff said.

Listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas Flood album. That's Blues-Rock my good sir. Milk is looking for things that are less Rock. |

And if you're interested in Folk then Nick Drake and Jim Croce.

Classical, pretty much the standards for starters, Brahms, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Vivaldi, Beethoven.... Oh, GOD, don't make him listen to Baroque. It'll bore him to pieces!!! Another good album that I really love is Team Me's EP. They're a hot new band from Norway, and they're really folky. |

Baroque is the best style of classical, I honestly hate modern classical.

I'm enjoying the modern classical I've been listening to.

The Dresden Dolls.
Politically incorrect piano-and-drums baroque stuff. Shit's crazy.
