The Arcana books.. though I have only read the first volume and have never seen it mentioned here. Its incredible resource on the ideas of people like Fred Frith, Pauline Oliveros and Jim O,Rourke who are often very literate themselves

Post-punk is the most /lit/ genre by far.

Alex Ross's The Rest of Noise is a well written and informative account of 20th century classical.

Ted Gioia's A History of Jazz served me well as a great introduction to the genre.

I think Tom Moon's 1000 Recordings to Hear Before you Die is great because it covers lots of different genres (world, folk, jazz, classical...) as opposed to other books of its type which just talk about the same rock albums everyone else does (although things like Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper are in there of course), and he's plain good at writing about music.

Richard Taruskin's volumes on music History...

The Ellison essay & fiction collection Living with Music is great. Also Sidney Bechet's autobiography.
Jazz is probably the most /lit/ genre desu.
