Somewhere along the way I got out of the habit of listening to music while working, or driving for that matter. Strange that I don't miss it.

When I paint I generally listen to exotica. Sometimes the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack is good. Other times any old punk rock will do. The Clouseaux Lagoon album is almost always on hand.

Only slightly better than styx and journey...I like the "talking heads"...songs like "Government Man"...lots of movement and energy...I find I lose track of time while creating...it's sort of buzzy.
Ali Toure, from Mali is great too, the fact that I don't understand the words doesn't bother me.
Wicked Tinkers are another great energy band. 3 drummers, a diggery and a piper. Not many words, a few screams and howls. but mostly pretty tribal...great for late night projects when you might be tired but don't want to stop working on something.

It really depends on my mood or what I'm drawing. I like a ton of music, but when I'm looking for a tiki vibe or drawing traditional tiki stuff, I prefer the obvious...Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Esquivel, Robert Drasnin's Voodoo or some good surf music. If I'm drawing more wild jungle stuff I like Strip Records Jungle Exotica albums, and also in the same vein Frolic Diner and Las Vegas Grind. If I'm doing something more surreal or psychedelic, then I go for some late 60s-early 70s soundtrack stuff like Vampyros Lesbos, Schoolgirl Report, Ennio Morricone, Beat at Cennicita.
Also inspiring for a tiki mindset are the Music for TV Dinners discs. Also spy music, which often tends to be moody and exotic (I specifically recommend The Thriller Memorandum and the Man from UNCLE soundtrack). Basically anything that is colorful, uplifting and textured.

Lately, Hugo Montenegro, Brass Ring, everything played on Jet Set Planet and Retro Cocktail Hour.. always Esquivel and lets see... something a little more current... I would say Stereolab, some Don Tiki.

Any Ultralounge, Don Tiki, Blue Hawaiians, Herb Ohta Jr. (lately), Dennis Aveau, Hui Ohana, Pali, Ventures, Brian Setzer, Sevendust, Aqualung (the band, not Tull), Coldplay, Pepper (local Hawaii boys), Sublime... the list goes on. Basically, if the music makes me feel good - I listen to it. Doesn't have to be any particular genre or style... Inspires me to write songs as well.
