RIght, which was why I responded to the questions about who inspires you.
I can't think of any music that actually inspires me. (of course I am being lazy)

But music that speaks to a level of contentedness? To me that kind of music captures a mood more than anything else. To me that could be anything that doesn't speak to any kind of real struggle. Frank Sinatra, Michael Franks, or like Bin said up top Maze and Kem for the leather ball cap/ linen short suit set. (I hate Kem btw) Certain jazz and classical albums can put you there too. Miles Davis 'Kind of Blue' does it for me every time.
