All types of Carribean music, from Harry Belafonte to Bounty Killer. Ska (I don't include this in Carribean 'cause most of my favorite ska bands aren't), Bhangra, most "world Beat" (there's a North American conceit eh? ) incl. Japanese & African especially. Bluegrass, old school Punk (no, Green Day aren't Punk...Period) and of course genre defying groups like the Cocteau Twins and the Mountain Goats. I have a special weakness for campy soundtracks, Rocky Horror, Shock Treatment, Phantom of the Paradise etc.
