What music do you listen to when you are in a creative mood? I have been listening to Duncan Sheik's Brighter/Later albums but am looking for others I may not know (and I have about played those albums out). Looking for music recommendations to play in the background when I'm project working--that isn't overwhelming or too harsh but is

I find the best music for helping my creative mood depends on the project. For example, when I'm working on The Rose and the Crown, I like to listen to Conjure One, Sleepthief, and Delerium. Natasha Bedingfield and Plumb have been given me encouragement to just write, but not towards any one particular story. If I'm working on something repetitive, I find that heavier music works better.

You should try Nick Drake. I like Pink Moon best, but Five Leaves Left is really good too!

I like Augustana, Dishwalla, Jack's Mannequin, and Jpop/Kpop. And there is always Hanson!

As was already mentioned, it depends on the project. I ban anything I know the words to if I'm really using my brain but I will pick my favorite sing alongs for work that is merely using my hands. As far as particular songs, it's really just whatever strikes my fancy as I go through our random collections of mp3s.

How about some Bare Naked Ladies? Or James Brown Live at the Apollo....
