Sometimes I write to music that sets the tone for the story I'm writing. I listened to "The Downward Spiral" a lot when composing "Red Sands" because the themes of the lyrics were similar to those I was exploring.
However, many times I can't listen to music that has a lot of lyrics, because I start tuning into the song more than the writing. It's easier for me to write to down tempo.
Or things like Portishead, Fluke, and Air.
I also have NIN's "Ghosts 1-4" on when I write as well, or even really old Pink Floyd. Just depends.
