Well, I'm missing many music types still:
Ragtime (you know piano music from the late 19th early 20th century - Scott Joplin and such).
Chansones (you know, like Edit Piaf, Maurice Chavalier...)
Swing (you must have heard of Glen Miller or Benny Goodman)
Blues (now that's what I call music - ever heard of Oscar Peterson)
Gospel (now I know you've heard of the last name Jackson in the singing world, but Mahalia Jackson?)
Ethno music - every nation has it (no, Americans aren't really a nation - they are simply people who came together from many other different nations)
Oh and classical music isn't just "classical music", you've got so many different things it's just crazy putting them all in one pile. It's like putting all NON-CLASSIC music in one category (where pop, hip-hop, rock would be simply one - because there's no difference between them).
There are: operas, ballets, operettas, concertos,...
But then again these and many others aren't really comertial (nor do they care about being such - although swing certainly was, jazz also at some point).
