I like west coast rock, if this can be called a genre. I mean The Eagles, The Little River Band, Crowded House. I also like Tears For Fears very much, but I do not know which genre that is. I do not like much from the 80's other than TFF.

Add to this in the Jazz category, Ragtime, such an interesting forerunner to much that followed.
The Jazz I like does not include Swing. The Classical I like does not include Opera singing.
I also like Shawn Phillips, BTW. Not a PA artist, but I'm sure a lot of Tull fans could get into him. He does a kind of Southern Folk Jesus Hippie music with an amazing vocal range, great acoustic guitar playing, and a care for arrangements.
I should probably also throw some Greek style blues in there, the sort of traditional music they play mainly with mpouzouki and violin in the rural villages.

If you like 'west coast rock' try Illinois Speed Press, one of my favorite unknown bands from that time period.
They ended up out there after starting in the Midwest.... and imho were a brilliant version of that style. I also recommend the James Gang with Walsh and his early solo lps....and of course Poco, Buffalo Springfield, etc.
btw..Crowded House were from Australia....shoot off of Split Enz.

Contemporary Classical, jazz, folk, klezma, eastern music, Indian music, Hungarian/Russian/etc etc traditional folk, hip hop/rap (some of it), contemporary classical, metal, funk, psychedelic, trip hop, much more
Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

Mongolian throat rap
That's amazing.
I was sorta being funny because i really love too many genres to list but i have always been fascinated by Tuva throat singing. Did you know that the Inuit in the Arctic have a similar type of throat singing? It's freaking amazing stuff really!
^ It's funny you posted this video because I've been watching several throat singing videos on Youtube lately and the idea of "throat rapping" is quite hilarious . But seriously I do enjoy traditional throat singing from what I've heard. I'll have to check out the Inuit style.

Other than prog I enjoy mainly other types of rock: Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, and Classic rock. The only things you won't ever catch me listening to is country, modern pop, and 80s pop. I consider 70's electronic (Tangerine Dream) and free-form jazz as my favorite genres next to prog.
