I'm different, I tend to listen to rock and metal while either looking for the inspiration or actually making my art :). It's generally my motivation to do things and keep going.
Favorite things to listen to right now in no specific order are:
Silverstein
Blessthefall
Chiodos
In Fear and Faith
Bullet for my Valentine
Feel free to look them up if you'd like, I just know most people don't like to hear what I listen to :). Personally this type of music makes me feel happy and alive.
