      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!

                    Well, my tastes vary, depending on my mood and what i'm programming. Sometimes I like a hard core techno, sometimes something down and head thrasing like Metallica or Godsmack. Occasionally I like classical (mostly Bach), or even some swing/ska. I can honestly say i've never programmed to barry manilow.

                      At Uni I used to pick the loudest, nastiest music I could: Metallica, Ratt, Ministry - you name it. The harder the Differential Topology/General Relativity/Quantum Mechanics got, the nastier the music. It was like the only way I could really, really concentrate was if I numberd one side of my head so the other side could get on with twisting itself inside out to get a handle on that stuff. My brain has settled down nicely into a ball of mush so I have been able to tone down the music a little :) cheers, Chris Maunder

                        Anything that I can find on Napster will do for me. I listen to anything from A-Ha to ZZ-Top, and everything in between. It depends on what I'm doing. I've been doing a lot of Shockwave programming lately and because the environment sucks so bad, I've been listening to a lot of metal/alt/rock as of late...Metallica, Creed, Scorpions, Nirvana, etc. Brigham W.

                                Yeah, I'm in the UK too. Stan was a top tune - six months ago when the album came out. Haven't the UK radio stations heard of overplaying???? You can't go half an hour now without hearing it. Anyway, enough complaining, since Eminem is still the man. Surely there are plenty of people who visit CodeProject who _hate_ Eminem! (since most people do) Good chance to start an interesting debate I reckon....

                                    I prefer to fire up Spinner.Com and listen to some good old 80's. Brings back the days of staying up late hacking on a Vic 20.

They we're singing their greatest hit Down Under in the closing ceremony of the Olympics. Others I like when I program: Midnight Oil Tom Petty Eric Clapton John Hiatt

                                          Nice to see programmers have good taste in music! I like a wide variety of music, but my favorite style is Industrial. Front 242, Covenant, KMFDM, Front Line Assembly, Funker Vogt, Apoptygma Berzerk, Kraftwerk.
