Lots and lots and lots of lovely post rock, little or no lyrics to get in the way, just wonderful pieces of music. A few examples:

65daysofstatic - Radio Protector : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qSptlkMuC8
God Is An Astronaut - All is Violent, All is Bright : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34C41eEpM48
Maybeshewill - Not for Want of Trying : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nrtRLhvuQ
CtrlAltDelete - Each Of These Innocents On The Street Is Engulfed By A Terror Of Their Own Ordinariness : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_6rl2yKodQ

Others include, Mt. , A Silver Mount Zion, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Naikaku (i think that's how you spell it... ) and loads of other stuff should the mood take me, metal usually

I usually listen to Metallica, Gorillaz or an Indonesian death metal band called Meshuggah (that's yiddish for 'crazy').
My angry music helps me picture the models in battle, which makes painting/modelling feel more epic, IMO, and the Gorillaz are just too damn awesome.

Normally I dont have music playing. But if I do I find bluesy Jimmy Hendrix works well, and classic rock. But normally I just paint in quiet

Two modes for me.

1. Trying to relax, paint some models, mellow out, unwind --- Enya. Ya, you heard right. This is when I paint one or two models to the nines and work on my technique.

2. Trying to get work done, gotta finish by a certain time, doing something repetitive - Ron D. Core. Look it up, it's worth the money to buy the album 'Psychotic Episodes', if you can find it. 'Decibels of Destruction' is good too. Nothing better to get you grinding your teeth at 200+ BPM. I get a lot of boring stuff like base colors and so on done in this mode. But, I did used to fall asleep to the static channel or test patterns in the days before satellite TV.

Enya is good.
