Music is very important to us artists. Some artists use it as their inspiration. However, some music may better for this purpose. I am not going say which music is the best, or even which genre is the best, because that varies from person to person. It also varies with what you muse upon: some songs would be better for inspiring fight scenes, others more sentimental moments. Construct your own play list.
If you need inspiration on a specific character, build separate playlists for separate moods. For example, here’s 2 I made for Gaara:
Killing
1. Enter Sandman-Metallica
2. Don’t Tread on Me-Metallica
3. Down With The Sickness-Disturbed
4. Blood Red Sandman-Lordi
5. Live and Let Die-Guns’n’Roses
6. BYOB-System of a Down
7. Tentative-System of a Down
8. Holy Mountains-System of a Down
9. Vicinity of Obscenity-System of a Down
10. Let the Bodies Hit the Floor-Drowning Pool
Non-killing
1. Ego Brain-System of a Down
2. Lonely Day-System of a Down
3. Mr. Sandman-The Chordettes
4. What is Love-Haddaway
5. Never Had a Friend Like Me-Disney
6. Beauty and the Beast-Disney
7. More Than a Feeling-Boston
8. Boulevard of Broken Dreams-Greenday
9. Would you Love a Monsterman-Lordi
10. (You Love) Like Nobody Loves Me-Tal Bachman
Well, that’s all I have to say.
