I had one brain MRI when they were staging my original dx.
I am not a claustrophobic person so I've never found the MRI's too uncomfortable. The one for the brain is loud - lots of pounding noises and loud humming.
The machine I had had a light near my head and headphones. They ask you what kind of music you would like but, honestly, the noises drown the music out after a little while.
For me the easiest thing is to just close your eyes and try to relax. Just like everybody else has said - it doesn't take very long. It seems like it would be easy to take something to help you relax through the procedure. I would definitely try that route if I felt any anxiety about it.
