When I study I listen to classical music.

And when I want inspiration, I just see my Pink Floyd Live at Pompei  DVD OR LISTEN TO dANNY eLFMAN
For most it does not come easily
For some it comes with pain
From a thought to a living sight
For some it's a life for some a game

Well, I'm a writer and I don't usually listen to anything when I am serioulsy writing, I find it very distracting, anathema to the creative process.

If I'm journaling, I'll listen to anything, but if I'm seriously creating, I have to be alone with my thoughts and feelings.

I used to play prog for hours and hours while studying when I was a Medicine student. Now I have become a cardiologyst... and a prog fanatic!

When I draw or paint I usually don't listen to anything. I actually enjoy silence for those kind of things.

When I saw the title of the thread I thought you meant procreation .
