I'm curious to know what songs give other people their creative muse - or indeed, whether other people write to music at all! Me personally, I can't write without it.
I've often found David Bowie, Nightwish and random TV tunes seem to work well, but it always seems to differ depending on my mood.

It just depends on the mood I am in or what I'm trying to write.
Up beat songs, typically...they help with my favorite style, comedy.
But if I'm going for something with a serious tone, it'll be a slow type of song.
And, when match writing, I typically side with Disturbed or something along those lines.

I like to have "comfort food" television shows playing in the background ...usually Community or Arrested Development ...sometimes the worst greatest show ever: LOST (as you can tell I both love and hate this show.) I don't usually blast music... because I just end up dancing.

I listen to my character's themes looping in a playlist.
So yes, I hear "Nigt Crawler" over and over and over again.
At least, most of the time. Other times I put on TVLand or TCM, I like the old stuff. Makes good background noise.

I like writing to silence. I actually find that music distracts me.

I often tend to have low-level music on, usually just my iPod on shuffle. I have a really eclectic music taste though, so predicting what's gonna come next is harder than actually writing the RP!

I like writing to silence. I actually find that music distracts me. I'm in this category. I actually have to turn the TV off, no music... nothing... Then the only thing I have to fight is the urge to check facebook. |

Most of the times I'll write in silence but sometimes I'll listen to some sort of up beat rap.

It depends on the character... with Arryk i listened to a lot of metal, hardcore, heavy stuff, to get me in the violent sick mood
R.M. i really just listen to anything, because honestly, until i'm writing a rm strong RP, i never know where its going.....

Probably comes to no real surprise but with Lorenzo Demarco I'm using listening to anything in the rap genre.
I find NAS (Mainly Illmatic) Jay-Z (BluePrint and/or Reasonable Doubt) and random songs from other Rap Artist to be playing in the background whenever I'm writing with Demarco. Usually when I'm doing one of Demarco Rap rps (Which I haven't done in a long while, and don't know when I'll do them again) I'll usually find a rap beat I enjoy and listen to that without the lyrics. Just have the instrumental playing in the background as I try to come up with what the hell Lorenzo would be spitting at that moment.
With some other characters it's different. With the Sado/Masochistic Character Zimdela Brudon for some odd reason it was Disney Songs (I can't explain it either) and with The Greatness that is Jerry Evans it was usually novelty songs that you would hear on Doctor Demento.
