My team has been recently discussing music in the work place and we were just wondering what other teams often listen to when working.

It has a surprising amount of mama mia songs

We listen to a lot of classic rock and a lot of remixes/mashups
BBM by Two Friends (unabbreviated name would probably get flagged) are some my favorite ones to listen to while building and working oon the robot.

We listen to all kinds of music, but when itâs crunch time itâs always Gas Gas Gas on repeat. Great song for banging out parts in a hurry.
Not to mention, the programming team has a thing for the song Rockafeller Street, but it has the opposite effect on their productivity

When I was on a team, I made CERTAIN they received a healthy dose of RUSH and other amazing classic rock. Pink Floyd was played quite often as well.

ABBA goes hard though, so this isnât surprising.

Sometime back, it turned out that several of the design team leads were also in their high schoolsâ Jazz Ensembles, so now âJazz CADâ is now the `law of the landâ in the CAD/Assembly room.

âThe winner takes it all, the loser has to fallâ Bjornâs pretty brutal, considering Agnetha has to sing it.
edit: I suppose it is also fair to add some Fleetwood Mac Rumours into the shop rotation. âChain keeps us togetherâ for 2021 GDC.

The build crew on 4020 has been surprisingly into classic rock. Not sure how this is a thing, but Iâm not complaining. The students have even had an empathetic vibe, putting additional Rush in the mix if Iâm wearing a Rush t-shirt during a work session. They also know I like Greta Van Fleet, so weâll sometimes end up with a current rock/classic rock blend on a Greta Van Fleet channel.
We did have dark period a few years ago where the team leader had a thing for the Frozen soundtrack. There was some accommodation for a while, but that eventually faded away.

I think itâs this one but Iâm not sure. Our process for finding it is always just searching âscrumâ in spotify and looking for the one with the ice cream emoji (very scientific I swear)

In 2019, our build space was big enough to play music on one side and be quiet on another (important! not everyone wants to listen to music). In order to keep everyone onboard, I set out some rules to keep the music varied. I think the rules were something like 5 songs per artist max, and two songs per artist per person. This prevents people from adding whole albums (not good- you want multiple hours of varied music on shuffle for a build season if you arenât a psycho).
I donât think that playing one artist or a single genere is a good plan. I am not particularly fond of top 40 stuff, but I can deal with every one in 5 songs being top 40 and I suspect that many people feel the same way about rock or rap. Regardless of your own opinions, letting everyone add a bit of music is a great way to keep team members feeling included.
I am not sure if I would do it again. We had to keep the music pretty quiet to keep the overall noise level down, and the whole thing was kind of a hassle. I am also a lot more sensitive to noise/grumpy now, so the idea of making a long robotics meeting louder isnât as appealing even if it would be fun.
