There are essential playlists, of certain bands, that I seem not to be able to live without. These offer non-vocal music, that's not just background, but rather makes me think. Sometimes I swear it does the writing for me.
My three faves:
1. Explosions in the Sky

2. Godspeed You Black Emperor!

3. Hammock
