I find that certain musical styles help me write, and others make it damn near impossible. It doesn't even always seem to make sense which is going to be which. For example there's one Eminem song that works (Yellow Brick Road) but none of the others. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but for some reason I guess it's something like this type of sound, because this always works for me.

What music, if any, works for you?
