We may not know exactly what he looked like, but we do know his birthday. The Immortal Bard is 445 today, and still looking good for his age.
To celebrate, the Folger Shakespeare Library has done something cool -- compiled a playlist of songs inspired by the Man from Stratford Upon Avon himself. You can even listen to the playlist right from their webpage.
Play on. (requires Itunes)

Update! Further investigation by yours truly has revealed that not only do you have to have Itunes to play the Folger Shakespeare Library "Bill's Birthday" playist, you have to purchase all of the songs. Unless you already own them, which, given the eclectic selections, is impossible. Maybe there is one person in the world who listens to Taylor Swift, John Cale, and Sammy Haggar, but how likely is that, really? However, you can still listen to 30 seconds of each song and imagine what the playist would sound like. Which, come to think of it, is probably what Mr. Imagination himself would have done, right? OK, then. Carry on.
