I had an embarrassing moment last year in which the entire team was singing along to this song and I was at a loss due to a deprived childhood without Disney movies

Avicii Levels was a personal Programming Corner favorite; along with a healthy dose of Nyan cat.

My friend and I, built our OCCRA bot to "As long as you love me" by Justin Bieber and now I know why it sucked...

You should look into a genre called "electro-swing". It's literally a mashhup of jazz/swing and techno/dub-step type music.

Seconded. Not exactly my cup of tea, but it's interesting (and a good blend of the two) nonetheless.

I feel those feels. My morning drive just isn't the same... I hope that when they come back they're still in my listening area... =(

Also, this explains this well.

a very wide variety is played but usually only after week one

[runneals]

Here are some of the playlists I found on Pandora:
Team 2073's Playlist
Another playlist made for someone's team
And yet another playlist

[That 281 Guy]

My team always plays Taylor Swift, because half the team loves her, and half the team hates her so much its funny! I suspect Gangnam Style will be popular as well. Rumor has it that Will.i.am might be releasing an album in February, which could be popular in the FIRST community. While I don't care much for most of his music, I really enjoyed "This is Love" so I may check it out.

For me personally, my man Sho Baraka is releasing his new album "The Talented 10th" five days before kickoff, so I'll definitely be listening to that.

[Toa Circuit]

Well last year, we tried some music (Daft Punk, Skrillex, Deadmau5 and whatever people wanted to play) but it didn't help, so we kinda banned music. Though near the end of build we could be found working till midnight with the aid of Led Zeppelin.

Personally, if I'm working alone, whether it be welding, soldering, or coding, JusTice or other instrumental house helps me.

I can't detail much of the other groups of my team, but I know in Manufacturing at least we are kept to a pretty much classic rock only genre

My team seems to be really into Mulan too. Specifically "Make a Man out of You." Our playlist had Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire, Still Alive, Want you Gone, some classic rock, some dubstep and some hiphop.

[Sean Raia]

Classic rock, techno, and 80's jams. Each have their place and time in the build season. Accept no substitutes.

Please no... I've heard too much of that already!!!
I'm a personal fan of Metallica, Disturbed, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, KoRn, Skrillex, and Godsmack. I hope they get played in the electrical area this year.

[Twest3259]

Our team stays with just about every AC/DC song ever. Due to the overwhelming approval and head mentors enjoyment of.
