Music as inspiration

In my down time I always listen to music, but more recently I have been writing poetry and using some songs as inspiration. I get a completely different outcome when I use a photo as inspiration, because music tends to make me write more in rhythm and over-use the effect of rhyme. So far I have only listened to Rap during my Muse work, but soon enough ill branch out to other genres. Some of my favorite artists to listen to and write are Atmosphere, J. Cole, Wale, etc. And for other genres I plan to use Jimmy Hendrix, maybe John Mayer, Elvis Costello, and even some country.
I am very interested in hearing your thoughts about music as inspiration and what artists/songs you have used or suggest.

    I do this sometimes to create stuff. I think it is best when you can't really make out what the words are, so when you do try to, you are actually creating your own original stuff.

    I realize none of these will be to your liking:

    This one is good because it slowly builds up to a climax, then slowly plays out. The lyrics could spark new ideas, too.

    This definitely.
