Like, I don't know anything about bossa nova, other than I've liked some of the stuff that I've heard. What's good?

I'm no way a expert but some stuff I like :

Antonio Carlos Jobim
Caetano Veloso
Gilberto Gil
Joao Gilberto
Chico Buarque

I recommend you the OST from Black Orpheus, a film by Camus...It has awesome Brazilian tunes (BN).

I second everything already mentioned in this thread.

There is always the Bossa anthem "Girl from Ipanema" but that is what they called "played out"

One of my favorite Jobim tunes is Desafinado. beautiful.

The old classic Getz/Gilberto is another album to check out in addition to black orpheus.
