Wow, that's an easy question, but at the same time, it's hard to elaborate a complete list. As a guy of a certain age, I have to say that a large part of my musical preferences remained in the 70s and 80s.
Of course,My list would begin with this song:
-Horse with no name (it's THE song to begin a road trip).
Couldn't miss:
Elvis Costello, John Denver, Supertramp, Bob Dylan, Alan Parson Project, Billy Joel, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Rolling Stones, AC DC, Soft Cell, Arctic Monkeys, Belle and Sebastian, Franz Ferdinand, lots of jazz (Armstrong, Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Chet Baker), some classical music (Beethoven, Bernstein, Prokofiev), Spanish pop like Los Punsetes, Martin Sevilla (of course), Los Nikis, Lory Meyers, Juan Perro, Some French music like George Brassens, Serge Gainsbourg, Juliette Greco, Aznavour, Italian singers like Fabrizio de André, Mina, Franco Batitatto, Brazilian music (Jobim, Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque, Astrud Gilberto), some OST...
I think we have arrived, though a lot of music fell by the wayside.

Hey I wonder. Why did they have non-Russian wives of the Romanovs take up Russian names? Is it to intergrate into the family? (I.E. Saint Alexandria)
It is my understanding it was usually because they also had to adopt the Russian Orthodox faith, so when they were baptized into the church, they took on a new name. If they had a name that already worked in Russian, they often adopted the Russian version but not always. Catherine the Great was originally named Sophie, and Sofia would have worked fine in Russia, but she became Ekaterina Alexeevna to be like Catherine I.
Later on some of the brides didn't convert, or at least didn't do so right away, but they still took on Russian names. The way the Russian language and Russian naming conventions worked, it just made sense to adopt Russian style names. They also wanted to demonstrate that they had become Russian, so dropping the foreign names (Cecilie, Dagmar, Alix) helped accomplish that, although they might still be called by their original names in private. Alexandra Feodorovna was still called "Alix" after all, and Olga Feodorovna (Cecilie of Baden) had a granddaughter named Cecilie, rather than Olga, in her honor.
If their names worked in Russian they often just kept it: the Greek princesses Alexandra and Maria, daughters of George I, just became Alexandra Georgievna and Maria Georgievna. Helen of Serbia, daughter of King Peter, became Elena Petrovna.
But there are still some weird ones. KR's wife Elisabeth became Elizaveta Mavrikievna, because her father's name was Maurice (Mavriki) but it's a pretty unusual. Andrei Alexandrovich's wife Elisabetta was Elizaveta Fabritzievna, because her father was named Fabrizio. They didn't always change it, but most of the time they adopted something that sounded natural in Russian.
Una volta un mio collega mi disse “è bravo Zucchero (sugar fornaciari), ha uno stile incredibile”
Io “ma lo stile di zucchero è praticamente copiato da Eric Clapton”
collega “chi è Eric Clapton?”
Ecco. E’ un poco come quando diciamo che Fabrizio De Andrè (che adoro eh), ha inventato uno stile, o aveva uno stile tutto suo.
Fabrizio De Andrè, è la versione italiana di George Brassens.
E la canzone del gorilla, è di Brassens, ricantata da De Andrè.
