I listen to something most of the times.
But it depends on what I am drawing. If itīs supposed to be diabolical, I usually listen to some metal, or hard rock or orchestral epic strange evil songs (I donīt have better description).
And when I am in normal mood, I listen to ancient rock (ancient means 80s :P ).

Almost always. I usually listen to soundtracks from games or movies as I draw. It makes drawing so much more enjoyable and really gets the inspiration running.

I listen to the same music every time I start an art session. Sort of a self programming to get me focused. Once I get going though, I let Pandora take over

Oh... well, donīt blame the music for my bad art, k?
Itīs not its fault!!
I love to listen to soundtracks, like Hans Zimmerīs ones, or Alan Silvestri(Van Helsing =)), Randy Edelman (DRagonheart!!!!!), JOhn Powell, PHillip Glass, John Williams, something like Wojciej Kilar... they are great. Also, Evanescence, and Pink Floyd, Queen... Oh, and Classical too!!! Tchaikovsky, I love you!
Music is just amazing!

I listen to a lot of instrumental soundtracks, like; Brand X, Immediate, Alan Silvestri, Brian Tyler, Clint Mansell, Carter Burwell, etc. Other than that, I have a very eclectic music sense and listen to just about everything. A lot of alternative.

Mostly soundtracks. James Horner, Hans Zimmer, Yoko Kanno Nobuo Uematsu, Kow Otani, and a lot of the instrumental music from Disney soundtracks (Hunchback of Notre Dame FTW). But it greatly depends on what I'm drawing... If I'm doing art of my fantasy characters than I will go with any of the above mentioned or anything of its likeness (I have a lot XD). If I'm doing something more modern I'll play Tool, VAST, Rammstein, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, NIN, Ozzy Osbourne, Bjork, Madonna, Scissor Sisters, Pink Floyd, Deftones...ahgawd. I could really go on forever. X3
If I'm doodling stupid crap for fun I'll totally play Caramelldansen over and over and over again XDDD heheheh
