Asked just for fun. I think drawing/painting and music belong together.
Here is my list:
for quick and expressive drawings I listen to alternative rock like Blind Age(unknown to the most of you, friends to me), Linkin' Park, 3Doors Down, Alter Bridge, and many more.
for very freaky ideas I listen to Dream Theatre(though I can't stand that only for 1-2 hours...)
for moody titles and chilley works I listen to recreative Ambient&Trance Techno like XERXES, Martin O'Donnel(Soundtrack from HALO2) and several else.
Now let me know yours...

Being an Indian, I don't listen to any of the music discussed here. But I am an Indian oldie and love to hear Kishore Kumar, one of the Indian master singers. And especially I love to listen his emotional solos he sung in 60's, 70's
GREAT ARTISTE, unfortunately no more with us.
Anand, Ive tried Kishore Kumar, and the funny thing is, I could hear his songs the hole day. I am also interessted in more of this music culture!
@ Ariel: If Jean Michel Jarré would do any visual Arts, many of us would be interessted what the Arts would be! What I've ment with the list of Artists: Every Artist use serveral sences and inputs of influence. And music might be important for many of them. But Jarré might be the most listened by many Artists. I could imagine you're listening to Vangelis too, dont you?
Honestly said: I tend to hear even Classics, Operas and Synphonies, or movie soundtracks (Howard Shore for example). There is no way I don't dare to go for the right music in the right moment.

Thanks for the YouTube link to Vangelis.

Of course I can. We were'nt Artists if we could not. Ariel: thank you very much for all those YouTube links!
I've watched them, my favorite among these was the powerful voice of Francesca Gagnon - Cirque du Soleil - Alegria.
Fantastic!

I tried and liked it immediately. Something easy to listen to.
chrome3d said:The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Eels, The Church, Kate Bush, Howling Bells, The Triffids, R.E.M. XTC, David Bowiejust to name a few.
Some of them are known to me as well: I clearly remember the characteristical voice of Kate Bush (my father heard her songs up and down...), R.E.M and David Bowie are "musical education obligation"...
Terremoto said:I just listen to CKUA online and have for years. It can best be described as eclectic. I think it's the oldest radio station in Canada.
Just zapped in...has a very various programm, it seems.
halamisha said:Classical music.
Of course! My 9 year old son recently discovered Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, we had a lot of fun listening to it (though it is very dramatical) - we spontaneous decided to make a 1 1/2 men improvised opera/theatre while listening to it. We laughed ourselves to tears...
TheSign Guy said: I would play records but have you tried to find a 45 or 78 player lately.
I can imagine it's hard to find one yet. Doesn't it hurt to watch the good old media devices disappearing from the scene?
Honestly, I am happy to have digged the cave for this topic, to see everyone posting here again is amazing. Let us know your favourite music you listen to while you're working!
