Our team enjoys jazz, blue grass, sea shanties, and pretty much anything than comes on the speakers. :)

The kids in our build crew put on various new alternative bands while working, but when it's time to truly get something done our main mentor puts in this old Southern Rock Compilation CD. At first the build captain hated it - you could actually hear his teeth grinding - but it has become so synonymous with productivity that it's now the favorite (but still saved for the very important days). I believe it was born the one late-night session when we revamped our entire robot between 9:30 and 11:30 - since that night, whenever the opening riff of "Sweet Home Alabama" starts playing everyone grabs a wrench.

Artists like Paul Simon are a favourite of our electrical mentor.

And it seems like whenever I walk into our metal shop, Queen is playing... :(

Sorry to all of you Queen Fans, but I can't handle it when Bohemian Rhapsody and Another One Bites the Dust plays every half hour...

Just loop through The Wall for the entire day...

Another of my Favorites is
Eyes (feat. Mindy Gledhill) - Kaskade

I don't think you can ever go wrong with Mission Impossible.

Post 7pm on most long Saturdays or post 10pm on long weeknight practices usually starts "Club 930" out in Mukwonago. We just turn on our local club station or one of Pandora's club dance stations. I particularly remember one night dancing on the bumps in 2010 while waiting for code to compile.

There's just something about the wub wub that helps the work flow.

I have to say, I really do love sing-alongs to this
But in all seriousness, nothing beats cutting some aluminum to Boston.

It's become something of a signature for me to have my headphones on my ears but not in them for well, pretty much everything in robotics...so I've developed a few loooooong (100 and 1200 song) playlists, but the best songs are still the ones that are,
1) long! Yes and Genesis epics are the best thing to listen to while doing electronics.
2) LOUD! The more noise the better! Jay Reatard, The Dirtbombs, 90's Sonic Youth, etc.
3) Ridiculous! Today I listened to Nyan Cat four or five times, and robotics isn't complete without at least one Call/Pick Me Maybe, an LMFAO tune, and Friday.

If I could make a "Save the world" playlist for my team, I would without hesitation include Watsky on it. Just from his most recent album, "Cardboard Castles", listen to

Strong as an Oak
Moral of the Story (it's "Work!", according to the hook- powerful stuff)
Tiny Glowing Screens
Sloppy Seconds (which begins with a suckerpunching F-bomb, so brace yourself haha)
Cardboard Castles
and Dent in the Moon

the man is a basket of get-up grenades, and it shows through his life's work both as a rapper and a spoken word artist. He does use profanity, but his lyrics are much more packed than "billboard" rap has come to have. I definitely recommend checking him out if you're looking for a new favorite work song :)

Oh, and just to have a robot-related song that I really like:
"Beta Love" by Ra Ra Riot

@cadandcookies haha yeah, there's always the Les Mis corner

Pandora:
70's/80's rock

Re: Favorite Work Song?
 

Macklemore is perfect music for any occasion.

I sit down on the computer and listen to some Chopin :P
