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).

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.

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

[TheBoulderite]

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.

When it's an official meeting I don't listen to anything because as a mentor we have to be available to the kids in case something comes up but if I'm working at doing something after hours (especially making pins) I listen to Garbage, Foo Fighters, Knife Party, Pendulum, Fall Out Boy and Paramore mostly.

With 4901, it's usually whoever plugs into the boombox in the shop (with a crowd veto, and then a mentor veto if we had to).

Personally, I'm all over the map. Everything from Above & Beyond to Wu-Tang to classic jazz to Beatles to the music from Serial that's been stuck in my head lately.

95% of the time, I prefer to work in silence. However, if what I'm doing is somewhat menial or I need to stay awake, I may crank something up.

While at work, what I listen to usually falls into three categories:

1) Metal (most often): Disturbed, Mastodon, Iron Maiden, and Anthrax are the usuals

2) Light and/or folky-type stuff (2nd most often): Indigo Girls and Sarah McLachlan are the usuals

3) Prog: The Mars Volta, Rush, and Yes are the usuals

Oh yeah, if I'm angry I'll throw on Richard Cheese. It's impossible not to be in a good mood after listening to Richard Cheese.
