I have a very varied taste in music. It's part of my creative process for sure. I recently started cleaning up my MP3s and riping some of the albums I own in to MP3s to play in my car. I'm gonna list a few things just to share with PD folks. Who knows maybe you'll find something truly inspiring!
I love it because it's a big help while writing my 'Shrivastava' story which is heavily influenced by Indian mythos.
I frequently watch Nicktoon channel. And a resent music video had finally got to me.
For those of you with a little Goth in you or simply a taste for music with a Dark twist. I truly reccomend
And lastly something for the soundtrack lovers out there. I've used soundtracks for many years to help while I draw and write. Here are some of my favorites. I would reccomend them to anyone!
Well, that's my two cents. Music is a big part of my life. I'm always looking for kindred spirits. Nonetheless I hope I can offer some inspiration for other artists/authors out there. ![[smiley]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_smile.gif)

I reccomend Nightwish and Mindless Self Indulgence. Nightwish is a heavy metal band with classical mixed in. The former lead singer was classically trained in singing, the writer is a pianist, and they always have an orchestral backing. MSI on the other hand is a combination of hip hop, house, and elecronica. They have a funky sound thats very much high energy, makes you want to get up and move everytime.

My tastes are heavily varied, too. Hmm...what would I recommend...?
James Ingram - Just Once Very sappy, but nice. ![[smiley]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_laugh.gif)
Simple Plan - I'd Do Anything Really popular when I was a kid, it's alt-rock, I think. Very high-energy. It's one of those "I have to tell you I love you or I'll ESPLODE!!!" kind of songs. ![[smiley]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_yes.gif)
Hrm...I dunno. xD I'll have to get back to you.

I'm into soundtracks too. I think I'm going to try that Oriental 1001 nights. I might be able to find it on iTunes.
Here are a few of my favorites:
if you are into new ageish melow stuff, these are worth checking out:
There's also a lot of free video game arrangements at ocremix.org

I think my inspirational music depends on what I'm writing. But here it goes:
Soundtracks I frequently listen to while writing:
And when I'm not listening to soundtracks then I'm listening to the following:

Oh I'm glad someone revived this thread. I'd be interested in hearing more of what people listen to. I feel as though my collection of music is getting stale. I need new tunes.
Anyone have suggestions in the realm of sound tracks?

*frowns* no other suggestions than what I posted above. I'm in need of new soundtracks myself, although I'm mostly getting new Jrock cds lately.
I don't recommend the Troy soundtrack, sounds more like howling in my ears.

Hm, some of my favorite soundtracks include:
Silent Hill - The movie and the games all have an excellent, very eery soundtrack. But in a way, it also kinda sounds like scary porno music. ![[smiley]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_tongue.gif)
If that makes sense. You'd have to listen to some of it to understand what I'm talking about, I think. But my favorite Silent Hill song is "Room of Angels" from the fourth game. I forget who sings it, Mary Elizabeth something-or-other.
Phantom of the Opera - The PotO with Gerard Butler in it! Excellent tunes!
RENT - "Today for You" Is like, the best song ever. xD
Kingdom Hearts - Both games 1 & 2. I like the techno-remix of "Hikari" from the first game, and the piano version of "Passion" from the second the most. The Japanese version of "Swim This Way" and "Under the Sea" from the second game are just epic, too.
Some bands I've recently discovered are:
Kill Hannah - I've only heard their song "Lips Like Morphine" but it's really good if you're into rock. The lead singer is a guy, by the way. Lol.
Breaking Benjamin - Yeah, I know they've been around forever, but I'd never actually heard anything by them until a few weeks ago. I love "Diary of Jane".
Coheed and Cambria - A rock band that bases their albums off of a comic book written by the lead singer. Their song "Welcome Home" is on Rockband 1, and is good.
Uhhh...that's all I got for now!

Room of Angels is really good. It really gives an angsty feel. I like listening to it at night.
And I heard about lips like morphine. Didn't know who the band was, thanks for telling me.

I have been thinking of something to add to this thread...
I really enjoyed the soundtrack to Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. I felt the songs in the last move were posatively epic!!!
Potential Spoiler:
I get goose bumps from one part - it was played a lot through out the film. Hmmm, you can hear it during the scene where Elizabith and Will are saying their farewells at the end - and she runs to him that one last time. I'll have to dig up my CD soundtrack to find the name of the track it's featured on. ![[smiley]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_redface.gif)

My favorite soundtrack will always be 'the Last Mohican" ( i think that's spelled right) anyways, I listen to it when I'm driving through these long windy highways to get to my parents' boat. The road is surrounded by lots of diciduous(sp?) forest and is deserted. It's beautiful and fits the scenery of the movie to a T. The funny thing is that as the music builds towards a crescendo, I start driving faster. As the music dies, I drive slower. My brother pointed that one out to me. Anyway the soundtrack is instrumental, and has lots of violins in it. I do love me some violin.

I think the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack is the one that got me into soundtracks, lol. Isn't the violin awesome in there? And I've noticed too that when I'm walking i start walking faster when the music builds up. It's funny. I always walk according to the music.

Lol I just thought of another soundtrack I liked. xD
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Okay, I've only actually seen the second and third movies, but I really like the music. The song Pippin sings in the third movie actually made me cry.

I have that with several soundtracks to be honest and that's why I think soundtracks are so amazing. Heck, music is amazing for messing with the brain. I really like to use particular genres of music when I'm writing certain scenes that require certain emotions to be felt.

Gosh, I have lists of stuff depending on what you what XD.
But off the top of my head I keep going back to symphony rock -- stuff like
Some stuff along the same line but are more rock alternative in some cases that I love/adore include:
And if you like Arabic sounding music I suggest listening to the genre rae, check out Cheb Mami specifically (the song Nos Coleurs is just beautiful and really happy too)

oooh, fellow nightwish fan! 
do you like their new singer? I haven't heard any of their new stuff yet.

Hello ^-^ And I don't mind the new singer -- I'm not sure if I actually can say I prefer her over Tarja though. Tarja had such a powerful voice, you can really tell in the song Nemo; it's my all time favourite just because of her vocals. The new singer does a pretty good job though. Of thier new songs I just looooove Amarnth. It's more like thier older stuff -- heavy guitar, powerful vocals, and catchy beat.
