im very interested in other, regions folk music or call it world music or whatever, music that have inspired bands throughout generations. All over the world, from John McLaughlin, Debussey,The Beatles, Robert Fripp, Raga Rockers, and many others, which do you listen to or is more drawn towards.

I love Ragas, but I'm not familiar with Gamelan. Any suggestion to get me started?

I love plenty of raga-inspired music but when comparing the "authentic", traditional versions: Gamelan no doubt.

Examples of Gamelan in a rock context, anyone?

First thing that came to mind is Cork Gamelan Ensemble which isn't really rock but art-pop-gamelan perhaps?

the track Christine is kind perfect pop, gamelan and Philip Glass-like minimalism at once. 

Yes and there's plenty of western modernclassical-gamelan. Check out Alan Hovhaness, Colin McPhee and Lou Harrison.

Gamelan is cool but ragas are my favorite non-western 'genre' by quite some distance

For gamelan in a Prog context, there's Discus and Guruh Gipsy.

Vote both.
