edit again: anyway, on topic...

classical (Baroque to contemporary avant-garde)
dark ambient
idm (and experimental electronic music in general)
various guitar virtuosos (although some of that stuff probably counts as metal)
trance
happy hardcore
jpop

I also used to listen to punk and hardcore when I was younger but not anymore.

[Rhapsodic_Sickness]

Prog Rock (Jethro Tull--fucking love those guys)
Classic Rock (the old standbys--hendrix, cream, blind faith etc)
Blues (the old black guys from the 40's and 50's, like albert king)

Actually, this is the stuff i listened to before i got into metal.

I started playing guitar when i was 7 and i was influenced by this stuff. Already possessing a good deal of skill on electric guitar via blues, becoming an insane metal guitarist was pretty easy (it's all technique, which i already had down). This happened fairly recently, as a matter of fact, seeing as i am still in high school.
