ooh! A discussion on writing music. Have to try this one.
I write almost exclusively to Celtic with some other blends of instrumental as well. Talk about putting you in a head space to write, this does, at least for me anyway. I've been gathering scattered songs from unknown artists for literally years and have quite a collection. I really hear you on this. The right music puts you in the zone. I can't have lyrics, at least not in English and my playlist ranges from music that touches character exploration, to fights to angst or sadness to happiness and I'll frequently skip around songs depending on what I'm writing at the moment.
Interesting! I love seeing what people listen to, if they do, when they write. :)
