Brian over at 'Clastic Detritus' posses the question "What do you listen to while writing?" Great topic!! Check it out....
As I told him, I (unfortunately) can not have classical music (Mozart, Beethoven, ect…) on while I write, but my normal musical flair is also out because of the noise level. I tend to opt for movie soundtracks. The Fountain is a great one. My favorite motivational music is the Rudy soundtrack (goofy, I know). Others on high rotation on my playlist are the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones, Lawrence of Arabia, Braveheart, A River Runs Through It, Legends of the Fall, ect….things like that, and I tend to only use the music from calmer movie moments, no war-like music, just to keep the stress level down (its amazing how music can change your blood pressure and speed of typing).

If I'm actually writing, I can't deal with music at all - it's too distracting for me! If I'm doing graphics work, or mindless data processing (wow, was there a lot of that in my dissertation), I can listen to about anything. Spinal Tap is an old favorite, but otherwise it's a mix of most anything from the 60's through 80's (with a few slightly older and news things thrown in for good measure).
