What type of music is behind your inspiration for Ascend?

I have a varied list that I use when I write…especially the sexy, steamy scenes I write.
I have two playlists that I use when writing…the first one I’ll share is aptly titled, Sexy.

Be Still My Love – Bush
Closer – Nine Inch Nails
Come on Get Higher – Matt Nathanson
Do I Have to Say the Words? – Bryan Adams
Here With Me – The Killers
How – Maroon 5

Erotica – Madonna
Everything Will be Alright – The Killers

And of course, I also have a playlist that I use for general writing purposes.  It features a lot of the above songs, with a few additions I’ll list below:
Bitter Sweet Symphony – The Verve
Time Is Running Out- Muse

I need music to write.  I’m not sure if it’s the influence of the music, but I’ve tried to write in silence and it just doesn’t work.  I do most of my best writing when I tailor my music choices to the type of scenes I’m writing.
