I'm also a big music fan, more so than writing, although the two are so different. I didn't used to be able to listen to music when writing, but over the last few years I've begun to almost require it. The music becomes part of the inspiration, but it almost exclusively has to be something instrumental or with nearly unintelligible lyrics (like Radiohead) so that I don't focus on the words.
