Music - The battle continues..

In my quest to bring good music to the people, I have arrived at a dead end. It seems that people actually quite like their lousy R 'n' B crap, and are not prepared to hear my side of the story. The have asked me what I listen to, so I give a list that sounds as if a "40-ish year old man" should be reciting it, much to their amusement. So I've had the superbly brilliant idea of compiling a list of 17 songs that to me, are the 'creme de la creme' of music. The genre is mostly alternative-rock, and I might create the modern equivalent of a mix-tape to play for them, as part of my "Bring Back Good Music" project, that so far is a messy mind-map scribbled on a napkin. Now this may sound a little pushy, and slightly invading on peoples private lives, but it needs to be done, no longer can we live with this rubbish excuse for music! I'd like it if someone would possibly read this list, and give me a few comments, perhaps help in the campain? - But please, constructive critism!
