I could only suggest some metal stuff that goes towards rock, but it might be too loud for you. :)

personally I go into "the zone" while drawing and don't really hear the music, so I couldn't even suggest what I find inspiring. :)

meanwhile, nice picture. the empty music box with flies all over it, and sad Noy... aww. *hugs*

pff, too loud- no way!
I really need music while i draw because it gives me groove and rhythm, that's why pop is perfect for that, despite i personally am not a fan of it - although it's usually a happy genre :o

okay.
Iron Maiden, for example. pretty melodic.
Tierra Santa is the same, but in spanish.
Dover, Faith No More for somethign less heavy.
Warlock/Doro for the more speedy stuff with occasional ballads.
Scorpions is the same in that regards.
if you like Folk metal:
SVBWAY TO SALLY (yes, they spell like that)
InExtremo
Corvus Corax
Saltatio Mortis
Skyclad
The Merlons Of Nehemiah
for somethign heavy:
Amon Amarth
Annihilator
Blind Guardian
Grave Digger
Helloween
Metal Church (especially "Blessing In Disguise")
Guano Apes
Judas Priest
Crack Up
Gladiators
Sick Of It All

you have to much time *chuckles*

\m/ ^_^ \m/

Paramore, The Police, Madness, Crowded House just for some relaxed stuff. Heavier stuff I cant help you with ^^;

Annnd nope my net decided to crap out again -_-

Also, if you like Owl City, my fave song by them is "To the Sky" from the Legends of Ga'Hoole movie.

Stone Sour, Stained, Monster Magnet, Poets of the Fall. If you want some change Blood Stain Child.

Though I find I never find any band really inspiring, rather some certain songs push me in right direction if I hear them at right time.

It is unlikely that someone will offer Russian pop. So I try to be the first. Bon appetite :Р

Just pop on to Youtube and listen to Walk Off The Earth. They're kinda awesome and do covers of loads of stuff, such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOUwxaAmoAk

Whilst watching a stream by  TevionBee a while back, I was introduced to an Aussie group called Pludo ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzowwB-irns ) sort of electronica tpye stuff? Never too sure about categories ;)

Other than that, the closest to pop I go are with Lady Gaga (I blame my BF!), Scissor Sisters and Darren Hayes (who is also worth checking, methinks!)

Bastille & Imagine Dragons!

do you know about the bravery?
they were one of my favorite bands from my indie rock phase. <:

Hopefully you'll like something in there! <:

I'm terrible to work with if someone tells me "Anything goes". Personally, aside from the stuff that is really out there, try: Radiohead, Moby, Hot Chip, Interpol, White Lies.

All these guys make some Alternative Rock crap and whatnot, some Electronic stuff and they might sound a bit 80s-like.

Here's to us - Halestorm ^^

When I write, or compose, or draw, I WLWAYS hear Two Steps From Hell. They make music for movies' trailers, and if a word can describe them is "Epic".

Billy Talent And Three Doors Down. Awesome ChoiceS :)

I ThinkIJustFinished Suggesting TE Same Before I Read This.

Gotta have The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie.

The whole album is pure gold.

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, but try "show me what I'm looking for" by Carolina liar. And have you been listening to imagine dragons?

Oh! Face down by red jumpsuit apparatus, and a bunch of songs by paramour of course. Like hallelujah, all I wanted, and all the other good ones. I have plenty more and can give YouTube links XD, just doing this through phone.

Clubbed To Death by Rob Dougan. -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L7Fc3Uy9xk
Royksopp - Royksopp Forever -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzZTHGhhavs
Kill The Noise - Kill The Noise-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igkaxPbBD1Q
And probably the best for you:
Dido - Hunter -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qmKk7fj9Ug
I hope you like it.
Cheers!

If you like Owl City, you could check out his acoustic stuff, under the name Sky Sailing.

I prefer orchestral music, especially from the classical/romantic periods (Mozart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. You may have heard of them.)

But anything arranged for orchestra, really. And it has to be orchestra. A group of less then 50 members does not have the range of expression I need to inspire me.

Within temptation's black symphony.. Symphonic metal, live, with an actually orchestra and choir. Oh yes.

Got the whole thing on DVD

http://www.myspace.com/ponyponyrunrun
or
http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&a.....ture=endscreen
A lot of musics are already shared i see.

Try don't stop me now and bohemian rhapsody by queen. Also don't stop believing by journey is a good motivational song. But queen is a good motivational band to listen to if you like rock.

http://www.youtube.com/crossdouble

do you like songs that dont have lyrics or prefer songs that do?

lyrics is preferred, sorry took me so long to reply :C

its ok, you wont like my music ;~;

The Glitch Mob have some cool songs like we can make the world stop, i discovered them a week ago and they sound badass

Try listening to TRON Legacy...Never Shout Never, Abandon All Ships, Daft Punk, 3 Doors Down. Hope this helps

Albums that inspire me:
Devin Townsend Project - Deconstruction (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7bfm4C_SeQ);
Threshold - Critical Mass (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0goK_LugkZg);
Näo - Näo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13rn9-dlXGk);

Also Rush and Iron Madien always rock my fox socks. Ludovico Einaudi is a great modern classical composer.

I'd also recommend RadioParadise.com if you want to find some new music. Plays a great mix of music, where I was introduced to a lot of groups I like now.

I always liked Ash. They're a alternative-rock band, and most of their tunes are pretty catchy in my opinion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYIgUNjw4vc

this is the only song that sounds furry related that might give some inspiration,

Nightwish is helping me write a novel at the moment called 'The Imaginary Kingdom" also take a look at Within Temptation

<WT fangirl.. And I don't fangirl for anyone.

I'm normally a rock fan, but branching out into new genres can be enlightening. Classical music, rap, metal... Hit it.

Same here... My music doesn't help me anymore... --'

Suggestions :

Cascada - Glorious
Bryan Adams - You Can't Take Me
lene marlin - Where I'm Headed
Passenger - Let Her Go
...

Imagine Dragons, they have some really good music.

i just downloaded a discography of pink floyd and haven't regretted it
though discographies of the pixies and modest mouse were failures x3

Well I'm more a metal / rock fan but regarding more relaxed music if you like house the Swedish House Mafia does some good stuff:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBRK.....Mc&pxtry=1

Also I like to listen to game soundtracks because you have non stop entertainment for a few hours, back when working on my thesis I usually listened to the
Assasins Creed soundtracks, especially " and Revelations

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7tc0VfZwtk

Hm, just some music that inspires me. Every genre gives me different inspiration, try and see what works for you. Some of this is pop, some rock, some inbetween, some off the wall.

Skunk Anansie (Tracy's flaw, hedonism
Garbage (Some of it is over played junk, some is actually really good)
Aqua (laugh all you want, they have decent songs besides Barbie girl. Try 'turn back time', 'we belong to the sea', 'aquarius', 'be a man' and 'good guys')
Fleet foxes (Mykonos and winter hymn)
Anouk
Basement Jaxx (good luck, Lucky star, cish cash, plug it in, where's your head at)
Bloem de Ligny (trippy whacked out stuff)
Zita Swoon (banana queen, if that doesn't get you drawing, nothing will)
Cruxshadows (gothy-ish, works well for darker pieces)
Clutch (Cypress grove... )
K's choice
Within Temptation
Chicane


I listen to some seriously eclectic stuff. This is about uhm, 5% of what I listen to.

http://youtu.be/TrzhIW33cw0

Or

http://youtu.be/FD7IiUK5Lxo

This is seriously my favorite band right now, and I think you'd probably like them. You should give em a try!

Oh yeah, and I'm so glad that your not one of those people who say "ugh, there's no hope for music anymore! Everything is crap!" Cuz there's definitely still amazing bands out there that people don't know about. So thanks for that haha

LED ZEPPELIN- Danceing Days.


Thats a nice soft, remembrance summer song i like to listen to to sty clam and focus too. Not pop, but is the only thing i could think to suggest.

Maybe try soundtrack from "The NeverhoOd Cronicles": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9Ey.....90&index=1 (29 different and original songs)

I absolutely love listening to Marianas Trench when I'm writing/ being creative. They are really easy to listen to, especially when you listen to their full album, which, if you're like me, happens perhaps never even in bands you love (a few songs you'll love, the rest... meh...)

Here's a full album:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvp1krIFOlE

Hehe I have a few suggestions Leo C:

A Day to Remember
Mayday Parade
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Every Avenue
The Latency

Ok I'm gonna suggest my recent jams because I listen to so much music I filter through a lot:

Puscifer/Tool/A Perfect Circle (same singer, different moods)
NIN
Led Zeppelin
Tears for Fears
ACDC
Muse
Mumford & Sons (I get sick of listening to the same genres all the time so this is a nice calm, folksy change with deep lyrics)
Renard Queenston (electronic kind of stuff) (West Mansion and Fire Engine by Mayhem have been my faves lately)
Video game music (Prince of Persia, Braid, Mario Galaxy, etc.)
HIM
Hollywood Undead
The Smashing Pumpkins
Pendulum
All That Remains
Mariana's Trench (for feel good kind of music)
David Guetta (he collabs with pop artists and makes some catchy beats)
Girl Talk (mash ups with pop and classic rock that sound really amazing)
Foo Fighters
Swedish House Mafia
InnerPartySystem
CKY
Infected Mushroom (<3333)

There's a few of the things I've been really enjoying lately. :)

Violin dubstep by Lindsey Stirling
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHjpOzsQ9YI

Babel by Mumford and Sons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwbnQ97zc0A

Closer to the edge by 30 Seconds to Mars
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLqHDhF-O28

Other genera and time periods are worth a look, too. The "Swing Revival" of the 1990s and its legacy, Electro-Swing might be worth a look.
Brian Setzer Orchestra, Squirrel Nut Zippers, and Big Bad Vooodoo Daddy are examples of the first; Parov Stelar and Caravan Palace for the second.

Also root around YouTube a bit for some recordings of Herb Alpert.

If you need Can't Sit Still music, take a look even further back. Ragtime and Sousa marches come to mind:
