Hmmm, It would be quicker to say what kind of music I don’t like (rap, country). Mostly I listen to pop and jazz/blues for the 1920’s – 50’s (love the music from the 20’s & 30’s. Whispering, Who, Sheik of Araby, Alice Blue Gown – on & on) People like King Oliver, Scott Joplin, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington. Moving on to Dinah Washington, Louis Armstrong, Jimmy Rushing, Big Maybelle, Etta James, Jack Teagarden. Another favorite group of music is what I grew up with – CCR, Beatles, Talking Heads, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel (a fave), Laurie Anderson, Kate Bush (her older stuff), some Brian Eno, Anything by Dead Can Dance. I love Middle Eastern music, Slavic music, medieval music on authentic instruments (I’m 1/2 Hungarian & 1/2 Irish – lol) Latin & Spanish guitar, and bluegrass.

That about sums it up! CCR’s what’s in the player now…

Death Metal (serious). Every once in a while, I’ll mix it up with Sinatra, Lightnin’ Hopkins, maybe some techie stuff like Blotched Science. In general though, it’s the Melvins, Big Business, Clutch, Deftones, Slayer, etc. My fiance’ has strong objections to all of the above. I do the above while woodworking, like below (so we all dont’ get into trouble).

In my shop CD player ive got:

Sublime – 40 oz to freedom
Metallica – Black Album, Master of Puppets
Tool: Lateralus
Coheed & Cambria : second album

-- Its not a crack, its a casting imperfection.

2nd Christef on Lateralus. Very few bands around that are tighter. I hadn’t thought about Sublime in some time. I’ll get on a reggae kick every once in a while & Sublime is what usually gets me started. While listening to Tool, I like to prop my plane on a square dowel.

Depends on my current mood, desired mood, and what I’m trying to achieve.
Beethoven, Verdi, Puccini, Wagner, Beethoven, Bob Marley, Irish Music, Dylan (Bob & Thomas), Beethoven, both Buckleys, Leonard Cohen. When I’m angry at the world I listen to Dr King Jr’s “I have a dream speech”
My mp3 software tells my I’ve listened to Furtwangler’s 1943 Beethoven 7 no less than 53 times – and still I smile when I hear it!
Now I’m living in Portugal, I’m getting more into Fado, notably Amália Rodrigues.

Hello
In my shop I have a cd player and a lot of good music

Metallica , Slayer, Anthrax, Trust , AC/DC, Craddle of filth, Kreator, Destruction, Exodus, Malmsteen, Gary moore, Mozard , bach Tony mac alpine …..........

A lot of music from the 80 ’s metal and Classical music
The idea is to have a good spirit whatever the style of music

^Which two Buckleys; is one of them Jeff? If so, I have a hard time listening to him. His vocal talent is so absurd and he’s so genuinely sad that it’s a tough listen for me. Another thing that is tough is endgrain planing, which I do while listening to Jeff Buckley.

All depends on the mood I am in. Pretty much anything except for most hip hop, and I must say most eastern / middle eastern music styles don’t appeal to me…

My favorites though are Progressive Rock (Rush in particular), country (Toby Keith, George Strait, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr and Sr.), contemporary Christian (Third Day, Toby Mac, Mary Mary, Kutless, POD, etc…)

I typically have the radio on KSBJ, or KKBQ

I listen to the Prog stuff on mp3… I have a pretty good collection there…

If I am feeling bummed out, Leonard Cohen is good to be all melancholy to… (Everybody Knows, not the Concrete Blonde version though…)

If I am angry, well… just about any speed metal will do… However Slayer gives me the heebie jeebies…

If I am feeling, rowdy and rambunctious, I take out the old Punk Rock CDs / MP3s… Lot of old Dead Kennedeys, Black Flag, Mentors, Sex Pistols and the like…

Yeah I like music…

DBhost, if you like Rush for the drumming (I’m a drummer), you should check out Charlie Zeleny of Blotted Science (not Blotched Science that I typo’d above). If you like prog techie stuff, you owe it to yourself to check him out.

bertha-Big Business is one of my favorites

-- Michael...Houston, Texas

70’s Canadian rock. The music of my youth, now re-discovered through the internet and my old vinyl converted to MP3.

Depends, when I’m programming I find lyrics distracting so I usually listen to classical or movie soundtracks or electronic genres.
For woodworking usually classic rock or 80s rock
When I go running or driving I usually listen to ska(favorite) and punk rock
When I just need to relax, nothing beats classical or reggae

A local band called Pop Evil if I am in the mood from music. Otherwise I listen to NPR (National Public Radio)

Bertha,

Actually I am a bass player, Geddy Lee is my all time favorite bass player, and my inspiration for learning the instrument, followed up by John Myung, Sting, Traa Daniels, and Robert Trujillo (too bad he went to Metallica, they have a habit since Cliff Burton was killed to put the bass player more in the background than he ought to be… He really ripped with Suicidal Tendencies…

Don’t get me wrong, Neil is fan-stinking tastic… And Alex is no slouch on the guitar either…

Will have to check out Blotted Science…

I can’t believe I originally typed Trey Parker, He’s the South Park guy! Ugh, brain short circuit today…
