Humm nice to see that some of you listens to good music :) On my part it's mainly punk, ska and techno. Some King Diamonds (The Eye) and alternative music. I have to say that Rage Against The Machine is excellent to program to !!! But when I need a big concentration rush... it's no music at all !!! Cheers ! Luc Bergeron

"But when I need a big concentration rush... it's no music at all !!!" ...you must have a quiet office...for me the big concentration rush is to put the headphones in and crank it up loud! Have fun, Paul Westcott.

I can't believe there aren't any good old fashioned Disco lovers in the people who've responded. I guess it's true what they've been saying for the past 20 years: Disco is dead. :-( Well, it may be dead, but I still love it! And actually, if you visit me here in Miami, I can take you to several nightclubs where Disco still lives (till 5 in the morning!). Heck there's even an FM radio station that plays Disco all day long (103.5). I write my best multiply-inherited template classes while jamming to Donna Summer, Chic, and the Bee Gees. :-) Cheers!

*grin* at risk of incriminating myself I will answer *before* finding out if anyone else shares my tastes. I have all my CD's on MP3 ( 50 odd MP3 CD's ) and I listen to music like Accept, Kix, Motley Crue, Faster Pussycat, Def Leppard, U.D.O., Iron Maiden, Megadeth, etc. For variety, I've lately been downloading 12" remixes of 80's pop songs like Prince, U2, and one hit wonders like 'You spin me like a record' and 'I wanna be a cowboy'. Hey, I'm 32 years old in a few months, give me a break !!:) Christian The content of this post is not necessarily the opinion of my yadda yadda yadda.

Christian Graus

Yes, yes, yes !! I bought Puppets when it came out ( and lived in the T-shirt, but that is another sordid tale ), and consider it their finest moment, much as I love the Loads.

Some of mine have been mentioned, but how about 'Cadences of the USMC'. Gotta love it. Semper Fi, Ritch

I only listen to music on my machine when I am waiting for a compile to finesh, or sometimes when I'm using the Internet (like now). At the moment (like at this very moment) I am listenting to Billy Gilman's 'One Voice' album, and although i'm not a big (or even small) country music fan, I think he's pretty damned good for a twelve year old. If it's not him then i'll be listening to either online radio (Virgin London) or Britney's 'Stronger' (only 'cause I know the words). When actually programming though I never listen to anything, mucic or otherwise. I find it distracts me too much, kind of like writing code at 2:30 AM - you read it back afterwards and it is complete cr*p :). So, as you can tell. I am not a big music listener (nor do I have taste). Oh well, off to bed for me... David Wulff dwulff@battleaxe-software.co.uk

rock on bru (or trance on bru depending) anything that keeps the heart (and brain) ticking at enough of a rate to carry on coding especially on those long burn-up sessions rennaisance is going down well right now :)

Radiohead, Radiohead, Readiohead. Some Beatles, some old Bowie (live from the BBC), PJ Harvey's new one and the new U2 one. I also have an acoustic sat right next to my desk, as sometimes I just gotta strum along!
