Ionian (major) - just about everything

Dorian - Mostly found in Jazz

Phrygian - Spanish sounding mode

Aeolian (minor) - just about everything

Lydian - very colorful scale, often used alot in all ranges of music.

The rest are mostly for harmonizing, there are very few mixolydian or locrian compositions.

I suggest learning there sound and just apply them to any type of music. They don't really have a fixed genre of music applied to them, although they all produce a different sense of music.
