Music to work to

[icecycle66]

What do you guys listen to, if anything, while you are building?

I've been stuck on Hypnos 69 since I started building.

Lately, I listen to either The Black Keys or My Morning Jacket while building for some reason.  Strange, because I'm not a huge Black Keys fan and never put 'em on unless I'm working, but I find it helps my workflow.

Just the same music as I listen to throughout the day, which ranges from Blues and Classic Rock to Norwegian Black Metal. I just play what my head needs. One thing I like a lot, but never play at home is opera music, that I just have to see being performed.

I find I can work pretty well listening to a web stream of old-school dub, like Dub Xtra or BigUpRadio Dub. I can concentrate on it as much or as little as I need. Most other genres, I get too drawn into the music.

I used to seek out XTC for working, and I don't know why, other than I love the shit. But I found that particular random work tasks started overlaying the memories of the songs--so I stopped that, to preserve the XTC.

The Sword!
Mac Dre!
Ice Cube!
Slayer!

[juansolo]

Depends what I'm making, though I usually tend to lean towards a bit of Monster Magnet or Grand Magus. Though today it was on random for a change.

grateful dead live, or anything really long so I don't have to keep getting up and flip the record.

[jimijam]

lots of instrumental stuff. animals as leaders, tram, and chad smith's bombastic meatbats is spectacular don't know who his guitar player is but he has some tasty chops and lots of fantastic tones.

Since getting the band out in public I hear perhaps more 'heavy rock' than I ever even wanted to.  So lately I've been turning to early dub reggae and 80s rap.  I also just made a Louis CK station on Pandora and that's a great  soldering soundtrack.
