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

MQ: Well, Classical and Progressive Rock are mainly European. A bit of World Music too I guess.

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

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.

Classical: Along with Classical I also like Opera. Mozart, Paganini, Tchaikovsky, Wagner

Jazz:

Mainly 50's and 60's Bebop of John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Red Garland, Thelonious Monk and Charlie Parker. Also 70's and 80's Post-Bop, Fusion and Latin Jazz of Joe Farrell, Chick Corea & Return To Forever, Airto Moreira, Najee, Kazumi Watanabe and Ernie Watts.

Blues: Buddy Guy, Robert Johnson, Big Joe Turner, T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters and Junior Wells

Rap/HH: Early Rap of Grand Master Flash and Afrika Bambaataa, some Jazz/Hip-Hop of Liquid Soul and Rock/Metal Rap of 3rd Strike, Clawfinger and Hed PE (mainly I like music with my Rap)

American Folk and it's sub-genres. Dave Alvin, Jaime Brockett, Peter Case, Ani Difranco, Tom Paxton, Phranc and Martin Zellar.

Eastern Euro Folk. Very little though I've been slowly getting into German Neo-Folk (Post-Industrial) like Orplid and Von Thronstahl

Reggae: Love it! Big Youth, Black Uhuru, Clint Eastwood & General Saint, Dillinger, Lucky Dube, The Gladiators, Gregory Isaacs, The Itals, Jacob Miller, Mikey Dread, Steel Pulse, U-Roy, Wailing Souls, Yellowman and of course Bob Marley!

Early Ska: The Skatalites (early enough?)

MQ: I listen to it all, and if there's a genre I haven't heard (yet) I wanna hear it!
