Songs

[Kevin Selavko]

So with the 2013 season coming, what songs will be on the playlist while working on the robot?

[ENeyman]

Last year, our team alternated between a dub-step playlist (the kids' favorite) and a smooth jazz playlist (the teachers' favorite). I don't see that changing much.

For us, it was a combination of classic rock, and electronic (TyDi, Avicii, Tiesto, deadmau5, etc.) Although music can sometimes be a distraction, and there are times when I personally prefer it not be played.

I'm a smooth jazz fan. I wonder what would happen if I tried to play some...

Probably a lot of Gangnam Style!

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.

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

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.

We're sharing a site with two other teams that could total 150 people in one build area. It's not very likely there will be ANY music playing at all. If I do listen to music it will be with my own headphones with a heavy does of Pendulum, Freestylers, Knife Party, Deadmous5, She, Paramore, Garbage and Foo Fighters.

To edit what my team mate Emmett had said, on the weekends we had smooth jazz saturday and saturday, but we also allowed people to have their playlists added and played. Music is something that makes pop riveting go a little bit faster

For us its mostly Coldplay, Muse, and/or Hans Zimmer at meetings.

Last year we usually listened to Skrillex, or Klaypex (which we put in a few of our season videos) a fare bit, or some other Dubstep, but when the mentor's are in the room we would commonly switch it to some kind of Rock.
