Billy Dean, thats a good one. Some other good mellow tunes are Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Joss Stone, and White Snake has an acoustic album “Starkers in Tokyo” which is pretty good.
New Grass Revival
Cross Canadian Ragweed
Evanescence
Avril Lavigne
Cooder Graw
Cooder Graw bugs me! I like country, but he just bugs me. Maybe it’s just the damn truck commercials.
I recently experienced Beethoven’s 3rd and 6th symphony in Miami in April of this year.
It’s calming, breath-taking, and powerful when experienced live. I definitely recommend experiencing it for yourself.

Cooder Graw is a group. Not a guy. My wife went to school with the lead singer, and they play pretty decent Texas Music.
Anyone else have the cable music chanels on their TV? I really like the Blues and the Soundscapes chanels. There isn’t much good blues on the radio, I don’t own much of a music collection and there are no commercials. I like cooking and doing stuff around the house to the blues and relaxing to the new-age music.

Parabol…
…until it turns into Parabola.
Which breaks me out of my ‘introspective, quiet’ mood quite fast.

You just don’t put Parabola onto your playlist he he he unless you really want to…
The package, Pet, Passive, are great too for getting frenzied esp. the package. But that is not the topic.
Other mellow music for me would be Midori “Bali Reflections.”

Oh my Gawd, you said Lawrence Welk… you truly are a super Rebuplican.
I remember going to visit my Grandfolks as a wee lad and on Saturday afternoon Good ol Gramps had the damn Lawrence Welk show on. Murderously boring!

Well, maybe you’re right about Penderecki, Ligeti, Ives and Messiaen. You need to be in the right mood and have some pretty big ears to be able to enjoy that stuff. But the Romantics? Nah. Whitacre, Copland, Barber, Holst, Stravinsky, Piazzola, Shostakovich, Gorecki, Bartok, Veress, and Tavener? Hardly. Well maybe Gorecki sometimes, but not his later work. Schoenberg, sometimes he’s a little harsh, but listen to Varklarte Nacht, one of his earlier pieces. Beautiful stuff.
And it’s ALL better music than Slipknot. 
Good to see someone knows good music.
Mad props to that classy gal, Sabrina. I just downloaded Puccini’s Turandot and that was it, what I was looking for! Thanks Sabrina it was the Pavarotti version. Couldn’t find the Placido Domingo one, but I like it.

Cash’s version of “The first time ever I saw your face” is on ‘American IV: The Man Comes Around’ and, like all the other CDs in the American Recordings series, is superb. It also includes cash’s version of Nine Inch Nail’s “Hurt”, the clip of which can be seen here http://www.losthighwayrecords.com/e/cash11403.html
If you can stretch to buy the ‘Unearthed’ boxset you will not be disappointed.
I find Domingo’s version of “Nessun dorma” more satisfying than Pavarotti’s (although there are probably dozens of each out there), but if you are interested in opera avoid buying the complete operas when starting out. This might be the inner philistine breaking out but so much time in opera is spent on people dramatically singing that they’re going to open the door, get a glass of water etc. If you want the power and the glory of opera, go for a compilation (especially one which has the excerpts from movies or television commercials). They don’t overload with crap and you can experience a wide cross section of composers.
