You should only listen to Justin Beiber while building, it will encourage you to work faster to end the pain.

On a more serious answer it depends what the mood I'm working for in the area I'm building. Crimmor has seen a lot of Massive Attack, Portishead and the like because it's often dark/moody.

Sonata Arctica!! For certain. I like Massive Attack though, and that Kamal pulls inspiration from it only makes me that much more eager for Shadow Thief Crimmor.

Nothing! I concentrate like a wizard. Scratching my chin and thinking whether or not something is few inches off from perfect :D

I don't generaly listing to music while at the toolset, though I do listen to music while driving from which I often draw inspiration for specific npcs. It gets to the point where each one has a signature song from which I can draw ideas from.

Generaly I find Garbage good for getting ideas,  The Eels are similarly good for me (particulalry the Beautiful freak album) and I have a compilation of new age easy listening type stuff which can get the creative juices flowing.

Fela Kuti, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, and every now and then, the songs Idumea, All Along the Watchtower, or something recorded by Alan Lomax.

I tune into the national radio classical Station - except when they to an opera show - that dont work at all - but arrangements by the big composers always keeps the silence at bay.

When I make my Masterpieces of Digital Soil, I listen to stuff like Land of Pleasant Living, Pure Rock Fury, Sea of Destruction, Cypress Grove, or The Great Outdoors.

Music is a necessity when building. Some of the music I listen to while building:

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Their Murder Ballads album is great for dark and evil places. Another album I recently picked up by Nick Cave is the soundtrack to The Proposition, another great one for building.
Leonard Cohen.
Mazzy Star
Tom Waits
Boiled In Lead
The Pogues
PJ Harvey
and a bit of Johnny Cash. This song help inspire the companion Samael, who's last name is Hall. Sam Hall. If you choose to fight him in the River Reaching he even says "Damn your eyes!"
The album Rogues Gallery, a compilation of pirate ballads and sea chanties.

The waves crashing against the shore, the sound of frogs croaking in the jungle... Then I change channel !

I do all my toolset stuff in front of the TV on my laptop and whatever I've been watching at the time quite often gives rise to an NPC's name when I can't think of one.

Tsongo..

I don't specifically listen to any music when building. I get so deep into what I'm doing that any sounds beyond my occasional breathing is too great a distraction -- or is completely ignored and thus, wasted sound. And the music in my head is always on, I guess, so if that's part of the deal, then it varies from:
Pachobel, Stravinsky, Bach, Handel, Schubert, DeBussey, Mozart and Wagner (you gotta have Wagner)
Kingston Trio, Johnny Cash, Muddy Waters, Leonard Cohen, Woodie Guthrie and Johnny Horton
Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Satchmo (Louis Armstrong) and Peggy Lee
Stevie Wonder, Chi-Lites, Ink Spots, Isley Brothers, Roberta Flack, Dionne Warwick, Supremes and Gladys Knight and the Pips
ZZ-Top, The Cars, Pink Floyd, Santana, Black Sabbath, Frigid Pink, Jethro Tull (gotta have the Tull) and who can do without the Who and Led Zeppelin?

And so many others, but when I am building the only music playing is all internal.

Then again, I am known to be listening to all the little voices in my head most of the time anyway.

Most of the time it’s something like Pink Floyd, Garbage or Black Sabbath but when I really need inspiration than its Beethoven.

Add to that a little Ride The Lightning or Yngvie Malmstein's Rising Force

Interesting replies so far - definitely a bit of a pattern emerging there, although I'm sure Glee is just a statistical anomaly!

For myself, old 80's UK pop & goth music that I taped from the radio way back when I played P&P every couple of days - gets me in that old school vibe for building P&P conversions.

Also - Led Zep, The Mission (on right now in fact), Pink Floyd, and the power & the glory: Marillion (old & new) :-) + anything that's on the iphone from the 6000 odd eclectic mix on shuffle.

Its not helping me get this blooming OnDeath script firing right though!

I don't approve of sound generally. That said, if your module had some Two Steps from Hell music in it, it'd be about 100x as epic.

Despite his modernly eccentric persona - Ozzy as Sabbath lead singer is really the only sabbath worth listening to - I can tolerate Dio and the hairy dude from Deep Purple on Born Again but Ozzy lyrics are the shiznat
