What about classical...From Bach to Mozart, to Beethoven, to Brahms, to Tchaikovsky, to Debussy, to Stravinsky, to Copland? An article appears at Orchestronics titled So, what IS New or Contemporary Classical Music? which provides an excellent analogy about the evolution of classical music. Love the ending statement which leaves one to ponder what is ahead for the classical genre.
For the adult contemporary music, there is one that not only must be mentioned but should be included for your listening pleasure. Here is Enya...
My favorite classical of all time...

It would be difficult to imagine a world without music. That world would be empty, a void, without soul. Music is an art overflowing with expression. Art, of course, is at the center of all that is full of life, as well as that which is lifeless. It is the diamond in the rough, the shining star, awe-inspiring, breath-taking... All you have to do is listen to life's songs and sing in the shower!
And the music goes on beating to the rhythm of the changing times...
