usually, none- any noise tends to distract me when I'm writing

Me personally, I don’t listen to music when I write. Everybody’s different.

Also, when I feel like listening to music, I just listen to what feels right for me, whatever I have in my head. I usually have some song in my head but not there completely and the urge comes to sing it and it does not come out well, so I listen to that.

Well for me… it depends on what kind of writing I’m doing. If I’m writing some deep anger work or scary stories, I usually listen to harder rock.

If I do peaceful stuff, then I listen to natures sounds, or soft rock.

Sad stuff, I listen to songs that bring back old memories that make me cry to no end.

You can try these for harder rock: Mudvayne, Saliva, Godsmack, Tool, Filter, etc.

For peaceful stuff, you could try: Robert Miles, etc. (or just get a nature CD)

For different pieces of writing, maybe try techno?

Like I said, I think it all depends on the mood.
I usually listen to: Godsmack, Shiny Toy Guns, Filter, and Robert Miles.

good luck

I write in silence, but most of the time while I'm trying to work out an idea I listen to music. Currently listening to Tori Amos, Bob Dylan, and Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Beethoven gets me going, Amy Winehouse, and Corrine Bailey Rae, and Eric Benet these are great!!

I've got a favourite: J. S. Bach, Toccata and Fugue in A minor "Dorian", and sometimes the music of the japanese Noh plays. This is very meditative!
