Perfect soundtracks for chillin' and loungin' ...

These are the bands / artists that I have been listening to the most for the past decade or so. They provide the perfect aural backdrop for unwinding after whatever needs to be unwound. I frequently allow bands / artists from other categories to slip in among those listed here, provided the tracks are sufficiently relaxing and unobtrusive.
Eventually I will dedicate entire pages to each of those listed and, barring legal complications, will provide as many samples of the music as possible. For the moment, you'll have to be satisfied with a few funny pictures, animations and links to websites.
