Take House of the Rising Sun for example. It's definitely minor, but you couldn't describe it in terms of a mode.

Dec 11, 2016 at 12:40	comment	added	Alvaro		I really like this answer. I now realize that the modes are there, it's just that our occidental tradition tends to label the modes in the "relative to the minor (aeolian)" form. So we say minor dim 4 instead of the mode name
