I have a tragically plebian mp3 collection but very flexible tastes. I'd most like CDs of *your* favorite songs, but I know it can be really tough to put together a collection like that, especially when you know nothing about the person in question. So I'm going to think of some random things to tell you about my musical interests.
I prefer music with lyrics. Way prefer music with lyrics. I love thematically linked mixed CDs, from fandom soundtracks to songs about science and anything in between.
I enjoy pop, alternative, '80s retro, classic rock, indie music, folk, humor, punk, madrigals...you know, maybe it would be easier to specify what I don't like, which would be some rap and hiphop, most country, and almost all Christian "rock."
The ten songs most played on my media player right now: "The Wonder of Birds" by Innocence Mission, "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers, "The Mountain" by Dave Carter & Tracy Grammar, "Transparent" by Polychrome, "Are You Happy Now" by Richard Shindell, "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley, "Pretty When You Cry" by VAST, "We Are the Lucky Ones" by Bif Naked, "Mandelbrot Set" by Jonathan Coulton, and "American Tale" by Carbon Leaf.
The song I'm listening to right now: "Common People" by William Shatner and someone else but I forget who.
The song that comes up after that: "Watching the Detectives" by Elvis Costello.

Any of that help?
