What do you listen to as you work?

[cadandcookies]

Back on 2220, CAD time was counted in musicals. On a long saturday, I might get through 7 Les Miserables of work. On a regular night I could get through one or two Wickeds.

The mechanical (manipulator) guys were very classic rock, the electronics guys loved their electronic music, drive train liked alt and indie rock, and media listened to either very funky indie/underground stuff or total bubblegum pop.

This is fantastic.

I tend to listen to music as a buffer from the outside world (at work, in a library at school, etc.). So, it's usually something minimally distracting: soft electronica (soma.fm is great), spanish and french pop, music I've heard thousands of times (which is pretty random stuff.. FIFA Soundtracks, Daft Punk, Train, more recently a few musical soundtracks).

Nice! Artic Monkeys is pretty good.. I love listening to some of their songs.

[David Brinza]

I listen to the voices in my head, if not the voices of others in meetings.

I have a random collection of songs, though a lot of rock and electronic. One thing that comes in really nice when trying to focus is Infinite Jukebox, simply because the volume and timbre usually stays consistent for a long period of time. It generally is best with non-vocal music, allowing you to listen to the same song for something on the order of hours rather than minutes. My favorite track is http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/in...XCK14EA3F29F4B

The louder and more chaotic/less coherent sounding it is, the better. Thus, death metal is the way to go for me. Deicide, Behemoth, Amon Amarth, Obituary, Morbid Angel, and Fleshgod Apocalypse, to name a few.

I listen to 50's music. It is very lame but it works for me. If not that than the front bottoms.

Our team forbids the playing of Europe's "The Final Countdown" on bag and tag day.

I have the best taste and nobody else does. The end.*

That said, 3883 really likes El Sonidito, or any synthpop.

*I have the worst taste. Number one worst taste. I will willingly listen to mid-80s central american boy bands.

50's music is the best. It's not lame at all! Front Bottoms are also awesome.

Thanks! But you just said you have the worst taste.

Oh. I didn't mean to insult your music taste! It's just the good that I listen to doesn't outweigh the bad. At all.

my team's shop has a sound system with a radio and an aux cord, so we've heard just about everything (a lot of classic and modern rock, though)

I will personally listen to just about anything, depending on mood, what I'm doing, etc. Favorites include The Red Hot Chili Peppers, B-52's, Benny Goodman, R.E.M, Franz Ferdinand, Earth Wind & Fire, The Clash, Dvorak, Mozart, and a CD of native Andean Music that I have

We have the speaker jack open while building, so anything goes as long as it isn't inappropriate for school. We usually end up listening to Daft Punk or some of the cleaner Fall Out Boy songs. We occasionally have someone play the Portal 2 soundtrack or some smooth jazz. We do, of course, have an informal majority veto or mentor veto to prevent the ever-present "Spooky Scary Skeletons" remix and excessive Rick Astley usage.
