Do you like classical music? If so, there are plenty of shoutcast streams out there with classical with no vocals. There's also plenty of electronic music (some techno, some trance, etc.) with no vocals, that you can find to listen to.

Most "easy listening" music makes me want to puke and throw things or stab someone, so I just don't go there.
