World music works well for me; also ambient/electronic things, and music with lyrics if the tone of the album seems to suit the writing. I'm not so good at tuning out English lyrics though, so I definitely can't listen to a lot of things on my playlist while I write, lest it tint the writing one way or another.

It can be tough to find the right bits of music. I bounce between various ambient electronica (somaFM, etc.), game soundtracks, or music in a different language than my own (so the vocals don't distract me).
