This is a good idea, I'm always looking for new music to play.
My writing playlist consists of a lot of Damien Rice and Florence and the Machine. Plus right now: We are the Tide- Blind Pilot Ho Hey- The Lumineers Get on the Road- Tired Pony Poison and Wine- The Civil Wars Porcelain- Lucy Schwartz Give me Love- Ed Sheeran |

I have a hard time listening to anything with English lyrics while I write, so I listen to a lot of Explosions in the Sky, Gold Panda, and Sigur Ros. They're very inspiring musicians, by the way, and I highly recommend them for people writing adventure books in particular.

^Sigur Ros are so good. Can't wait for their new album.
I'm messing about with a new idea at the moment and putting together a playlist is such a great inspiration. 1. Ten-Twenty-Ten - The Generationals 2. If You Got the Money - Jamie T. 3. Ghosts - Laura Marling 4. Shuffle - Bombay Bicycle Club 5. Show Me the Light - Mystery Jets 6. R U Mine - Arctic Monkeys 7. Sweetness - Pearl and the Beard |

If I don't want to hear words, then the Lion King instrumental soundtrack is awesome.
If I DO want to hear words, then it's pretty much whatever pops up on my too-long writing playlist - Taylor Swift (lots of her songs), NEEDTOBREATHE, Lady A, Backstreet Boys (oh yeah), Boston, CSNY, the Shondels, Fleetwood Mac... as long as it isn't screamo, there's a good chance I'll listen to it.

Had taken these screenshots for another thread, but this one seems more fit for them.

I usually don't make playlists (though I listen to music whenever I write), but for some reason my latest WIP (high fantasy murder mystery!) just demands a playlist, and it's growing bigger every day. So far it looks a bit like this:
Magia - Kalafina Rinbu Revolution - Masami Okui Cave - Muse Sis Puella Magica - Yuki Kajiura The Last Thing On Your Mind - LIGHTS You're Not Me - Marty Bags Monsoon - Tokio Hotel Everything You Want - Vertical Horizon Lamento - Kanako Itou The Key Of Light - Yoko Shimomura Papercut - Linkin Park Krwlng - Linkin Park Yeah, lots of anime soundtrack music because I'm a nerd. uvu

 Making other playlists for my WIPs now.

I have two for Invincible. Here they are at the moment.
Will's:
General: KEY: W = Will C = Carlos R = Ruby
As usual, these will be become more like soundtracks as I write.
