Well, I like a lot of the artists you mention (Atmosphere, Dave Matthews, Parov Stelar, Goldfrapp, Madonna, Outkast, Bonobo, Amon Tobin, Massive Attack, Baaba Maal) so no judgement here. And you mentioned several I don't know so that's always a plus! I think you'll find most people here appreciate people who are fun, open-minded and can talk intelligently about music rather than having some approved list of favorites.
Anyway, moving from Maine to Istanbul seems like quite a contrast. How do you like it?
