Maybe it's just me but when I read a good fanfic that includes the lyrics to songs that I havent heard I usually run and download it and end up liking it. Like Julie with the songs she used for Broken and BMS. I think I have the soundtracks to both stories on my computer lol.
Anyone else do this?

Oh yeah, I definitely do that!! There are songs that remind me of fanfics now cause either that's where I first heard of them, or just they were used in the story, so I played them while reading, and now they make me think of that part in the story.
"Come Away With Me" by Norah Jones... always makes me think of Bianca's story Happenstance.
"More Than Words" by Extreme makes me think of Faceless.
"Don't Wanna Lose You Now" makes me think of Where Can We Go From Here.
"I'll Be" by Edwin McCain makes me think of Cover Me With Dreams.
"I Hope You Dance" by LeeAnn Womack makes me think of If You Knew What I Knew, which was the sequel to Nowhere to Run but was never finished.
There are many others; those are the ones that jump out at me right now. That's why I wanted to put up the music for my stories, so people can hear some of the songs that maybe aren't as well known, in case they end up liking them.

I've found a lot of songs just from writing Broken and BMS. I look for good lyrics first, and if I find lyrics I like, I download the song and see what it sounds like. I actually found the Seether/Amy Lee "Broken" a long time before it came out as a single and started being played all over the place. I can't believe I've never worked that song into the story, aside from the beginning of BMS, cause it's sooooo perfect. I've just never found that one right moment, I guess.

Haha not just some songs, a whole genre. Some of the first fic I ever read was Karah's fic of I Wanna Be Bad fame. But a lot of her earlier fic was country music inspired. I didn't like country music at all, well except for George Strait. Anyway reading her fic I starting downloading some of the songs and now I love country music. lol
