Looking for new bands or singers? New songs as well?

Question

I'm looking for new music to listen. :D Anyone have some suggestions. I have kind of eclectic listening tastes, a mix and match of everything EXCEPT Rap, Hip-Hop, and Screamo. Might have missed one or two there, but those are the three genres I absolutely won't listen to. I also dislike Gaga, Beyonce, and Kesha. Sorry.

I would be open to trying new genres as well, other than those listed above. Maybe Jazz or (more traditional) Classical or something?

If you could give me specific songs, as well as an artist/band name, that would be awesome! Thanks!
