I've got a good Jazz collection, but virtually no blues. That's definitely a big hole in my music collection.

If you've ever listened to a blues song, you've listened to work that owes a nod of the hat to Mr. Willie Dixon. An amazing singer/song-writer, this man kept churning out classic after classic. The Chess box set is a must for anyone serious about the blues.
(seems a lil' strange to have an artist smiling on a blues cover)
Right now, these albums are spinning in my CD player:
1. Sonic Nurse- Sonic Youth2. Blue Cathedral- Comets on Fire 3. Blueberry Boat- The Fiery Furnaces (not for everyone, but it's an amazing album that gets better after each listen)4. Secret Machines- Now Here is Nowhere5. The Man Who- Travis6. Dummy- Portishead7. Finally We Are No One- Mum (sorta aross between Sigur Ros and Radiohead)8. RealGone- Tom Waits
I'm also listening to some random songs by Mazzy Star ("Flowers in December" and "Fade into You" are beautiful tracks) and Broken Social Scene (try "Guilty Cubicles" and "Shampoo Suicide" - there's a few riffs at the end that scream Spaghetti Western!).
