You're the one person who says "Yeah, I listen to everything" and it's actually true.

Damn, how can I pass by a chance to be pigeonholed and insulted in one swell foop? I'll stick to performers over songs, because I can't begin to pick a top 10 songs.
1) Imogen Heap
2) Chemical Bros.
3) Ella Fitzgerald
4) Thievery Corporation
5) Tori Amos
6) Bobby McFerrin (EXCEPT for "Don't Worry, Be Happy"...argh! He's never done anything else like THAT. He learned.)
7) Annie Lennox
8) Anna Nalick
9) Steely Dan/Donald Fagan
10) Alison Krause/Union Station
Yeah, that's relatively representative.

I am trying to get more classical music scores into the repitoire, would anyone be able to advise me as to where to get them?

It's really a crapshoot. I suggest just going to a store and picking up CDs, because it's hard to find torrents of anything like that - it's not popular enough among people who use torrent programs.
Anyway, you could check out French romantic composers, such as Debussy, Godard, Ravel, and Saint-Saens. I find their compositions to be a little less uptight than what most people imagine when they think of "classical" music, and it's more freeform and expressive. Godard is the most standard-sounding of the four, I think.
For particular pieces, I love Godard's Suite de Trois Morceaux, Op. 116 (learning to play it at the moment), Debussy's Syrinx and his Prelude A L'Apres-Midi dun Faune, Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals, etc etc.

In all honesty going to a store and picking them up is ultimately more economical. The one near my house has a bunch of stuff in cardboard sleeves for 2$ each, mostly the big names, but a few others here and there. Your other option is to leave the computer on overnight downloading a concert by one composer (because the vast majority of classical rips are in FLAC [upwards of 250 MB at the least], and anything that is not Beethoven, Bach or Mozart is not going to have many seeds), and raise your power bill slightly more than it would probably cost to pick up a few of those cheaper-packaged CD's.
