Head over to http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/500songs/ and take a look at the 500 top songs of all time according to Rolling Stone. The list of artists covers a wide array of musical tastes, and you can look up other music by those folks to build a really comprehensive library.
Good luck! - Stuart

Well I really like the Talking Heads. Not sure if they're really considered that old but they are awesome.
