Answer 2

Sounds like you and I would get along well; musically that is.  Try Blues Travelers, Gin Blossoms, and Spin Doctors for some newer stuff.  Older, you should check out The Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, Boston, Forigner, Journey, Queen, and Styx.  If you need more, than just ask!  I have plenty!
