Zark mentioned other geners, so I decided to offer some music I like in the more popular specturm in modern music. And yes, this means pop and rap. inb4 "OMG TEH NEW MUZICZ SUXZ LOL"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvDQy53eldY - Otherside, Macklemore. Song about drug abuse, the consequences, and recovery.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-fA-gBCkj0 - Lock out of heaven - Bruno Mars. Very silly song about Bruno telling this girl him denying him sex is like being locked out of heaven. Silly but I love the sound.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=359na4NeaVA - Berzerk- Eminem. Kinda generic with themes of living while your young (YOLO) but the most dangerous sounding and on point Eminem has been in a while.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FRXLzw37-8 -Get Lucky, Draft Punk. This is where Robin Thicke got his popularity due to going on the same train of this throwback to the 70's, and it's much better than Blurred Lines.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAg3uMlNyHA - Wings, Macklemore. Think a serious version of Thrift Shop with this one.

I totally understand if you hate all of these due not being in your taste. Thought I'd offer some variety from orchestral and rock though.
