Oooooh great topic!!
Did you know that as well as listening to single tracks on you tube you can also listen to whole albums if people have put them online. For example just type in Enya album, John Mayer album etc etc and you should get a wide choice of options of various albums from your fave artists. I just discovered John Mayer the other day so he is on all the time!!
Also if you love 80's music try typing in '1980s mix'. You will get oodles of 1980's tracks that people have put on there that play one after another as a mix. I was at a party the other day and the laptop was on in the corner with the music going through speakers it was great and was one of these 80's mixes on you tube lasted a couple of hours!!!

I found that out eventually after putting in each track I wanted to listen to, I just put 80s music albums and away I went. They were great times, I went abroad for the first time, got a new job, bought my own house, got married. How things have changed now, I remember the night Live Aid was on and exactly what I was doing, A lot of records I hear now from then I can remember what I was doing when I first heard it, where I was and who I was with. We had bbq's on the beach that lasted all night, I wore leggings and long baggy jumpers in bright colours, I had a super speedy little car (or I thought it was) that I had resprayed in two tone colour,
Aaaahhh those were the days.
Sorry about the bold type can't get it off.
