Beethoven, Beatles, Mozart, Bowie, Schumann, Beach Boys, Mendelssohn, Planxty, Ravel, Gershwin, Motown, Bernstein, Bothy Band, Manuel de Falla, Vaughan Williams, Carly Simon, some Brahms, Mamas and Papas, some Handel, Queen, not much Haydn, Shirley Collins, Bach, De Dannan, Nic Jones, anything else life-affirming. Early Liverpool Sound. Woody Guthrie. Blue Danube conducted by Carlos Kleiber.

No Wagner, no Berlioz, no Dylan, no Debussy, no Liszt, no Mahler, no Copland, no Chopin (my biggest blind spot), no minimalist shit.

Oh, and Beethoven. The only man greater than Shankly, and that includes God.
