I’m one of those writers that likes to write to music. It helps me get in the mood for whatever scene I am writing and helps me concentrate.
Here is a list of my favorite songs/soundtracks to listen too while I write (and edit 
).

Yeah, I listen to allot of music. Funny thing is, when I get into the zone, I don’t hear it at all. I’ll usually miss most of what I’m listening to and have to start it all over again.
Those are some very awesome soundtracks. … and I do the same thing. I totally phase out. But then I must listen to it AGAIN!!! XD
I listen to most of those soundtracks. ^.^
Strangely enough, though, the tend to accompany while I do normal school and not when I write. This is partly because the laptop I write on has bad speakers, but mostly because I found it distracting trying to mess around with a “writing soundtrack.”
I write just as well–probably better–without music. I like quiet. ^.^
