R&P: What are your favorite songs, bands, and artists from these non-R&P genres?
Classical Jazz Blues Rap/Hip-Hop American Folk East European Folk Reggae Early Ska (Any Ska before 1975)
MQ: Do you listen to much besides the biggest American genres? If not, is this because you're just not interested, you don't know where or how to find it, or you've hated what you've heard?
MQ2: Isn't East European folk amazing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy6lgC5HpIw What other countries or regions have good folk music?

Classical: A good deal of it, getting into more too: Bach, Beethoven, Ravel, Stravinsky, Steve Reich Jazz: A lot, Miles, Trane, Mingus, Monk, Hancock, Mahavisnhu, Return to Forever, Weather Report, Pat Metheny... the list goes on Blues: Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, SRV, Jeff Beck when he plays it... not very much tho really Rap/Hip-Hop: Mainly late 80's/early 90's with a prefence toward the jazzy stuff, some modern (Tribe, Nas, Tupac, Mos Def, J5) American Folk: I guess a bit, Leadbelly counts kind of right, and some Bob Dylan tho I am not really a fan East European Folk: Not so much Reggae: Bob Marley mainly, a few Peter Tosh and Steel Pulse songs, not huge on it tho Early Ska: Uh, I have some Skatalites songs.
MQ: Well, Classical and Progressive Rock are mainly European. A bit of World Music too I guess. MQ2: It started fine but got pretty terrible imo... I am too Western, sorry. :P Yeah my favorite folk is the Celtic type I think, maybe Russian is good too, not sure tho.

I can't really name bands or artists because I don't listen to any of the genres much but I can name some songs :)
Classical: Kisses and Cake- John Powell Jazz: Summertime- performed by Billie Holiday Rap/ Hip-Hop: Stan- Eminem
MQ: I listen to mostly indie and alternative rock...I don't think those genres are considered the biggest American genre so yes.
MQ2: Well. I can't say East European folk is amazing from just listening to this one song, but I have to say the instruments sound great! I like the feel of it very much :)
classical: ravel, prokofiev, messiaen, satie, scriabin, debussy jazz: sun ra, miles davis, john coltrane, thelonious monk, ornette coleman, art blakey, art tatum, billie holiday, nina simone blues: skip james, blind willie johnson rap: wu tang clan, a tribe called quest american folk: phil ochs?, bob dylan? east european folk: i dont know any, i'd be interested to hear some, you should put your answers reggae/ska/dub: scratch perry, king tubby, bob marley, eek-a-mouse, the ethiopians i'm not sure if any of that can be classified as ska, i really don't know the differences, although i can usually tell if it's dub (and my list was dub heavy)
for some of those genres, i had to restrict myself to writing only my favorites. i feel like i could've gone deeper in rap and blues. i wish i knew more folk.
MQ1: I go through phases, for the last few months I've been really into modern American pop and alternative. I like the variety
MQ2: what was that? that wasn't folk music. I thought you meant real folk music, that was rock/pop. It certainly has folk influences though. there are basically two camps of folk music in my mind: the modern supergroups who work with traditional themes but it's borderline classical and then there's the field recordings of music in its natural habitat, being played during a ceremony by non-professional musicians (see moroccan wedding music) which is moreso world music but the two overlap sometimes. i prefer the latter style. i like listening to music from anywhere, a lot of it is similar, a lot of it is wildly different. i like really old, traditional japanese stuff, tuvan throat singers, slavic laments, and african talking drum music. my favorite regions are africa, eastern europe and eastern asia.
