If you are looking for new artists to expand your library, musicals are ever better than compilations. They often list actors as the artist, some of who do not have any other songs. This is usually better than a compilation, which may have some artists already in your library.
Start with Rocky Horror Picture Show and Grease...

Look for a one-hit wonder or two. Ended up with Fake Blood's Fix Your Accent and I Think I Like It. Other considerations included Mondotek's Alive and some miscellaneous Dubstep.

Besides her hits, I am not in love with her. Like a less interesting Pat Benatar.

You should take a look at my tagcloud: it is obviously the best. You can see the eclecticism, but with a clear ELECTRONIC dominance. That is exactly who I am.

Taking a break from the music club to listen to stuff from my queue: The Very Best Of Freddie Mercury Solo by Freddie Mercury

Just listened to Greatest Songs Ever: Brazil and it really was perfect. The collection is quite large and should be the perfect resource for finding new artists and exploring different regions, while listening to the best the have to offer.
Compare http://www.last.fm/music/Various+Artists/Greatest+Songs+Ever:+Brazil with my previous approach, weekly top region charts: http://www.last.fm/charts/place/Brazil?ending=1341748800.

This is the perfect venue to share my music explorations. Finally figured that out after recently reaching 5000 artists.

I just finished listening to this 4 CD set on Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/album/27oVaSPdhHvmM6vW2J2YBj. That app is not good for much, but it is perfect for compilations and new releases.

Next: a few more musicals. They are great ways to add new artists to your library.
