What music inspires you to write the most?

I find that I can't write anything meaningful without music blaring in my ears. Usually it's just sad, inspiring stuff. So what helps you write your best? Please write down the songs you listen to, mostly because I need some new songs..so have fun sharing! Also, anything else that inspires you to write? Certain moods? Weather...etc.
