Favourite music while programming

[Lost User]

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 :)

[Lost User]

Here is my list ("my best of")...:-) 1. Everything concerning hard & heavy from 80's and early 90's (Motorhead, AC/DC, Ozzy,... + another 1000 bands) 2. Instrumental music (Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen,...) 3. The Cars I usually listen to online hard radio (www.hardradio.com), they have a pretty good setlist every day...:-) Wrrrrrom, RichardR

Well, there's nothing like sitting by the window working Multivariable Calculus problems while listening to Crystal Gayle... :)

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!

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

Since was I in the USMC, I can't stand listening to that stuff anymore...flashbacks! :-) Brigham W. Thorp Software Engineer Timex Corporation

[Brigg Thorp]

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.

Hey People, I have to say I'm quite suprising by the sheer force in numbers of you MFC programmers who like rock music. Any hip-hoppers in the lounge today? Our offices favorites: Wu-Tang, Dr.Dre, Snoop, Eminem, Hitman etc.... Regards, Paul Barrass

[Lost User]

Yeh, Eminem rocks. "Stan" is number 1 in the UK at the moment. Top tune.

[Paul Barrass]

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....

Queen Metallica (Kill'em All, Ride the Lightning) Plasmatics Queensrych Kiss Black Sabbath Ozzy Osbourne Led Zeppelin Warlord Joe Satriani

[Lost User]

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.

[Eddie Velasquez]

Ah, almost forgot: Accept Motley Crue Def Leppard Iron Maiden Scorpions Judas Priest AC/DC Dokken Ratt

[Franky Braem]

Who the fuck is Colin Hay you think ? Well he's the leadsinger of Men At Work. Remember them ? 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

[Daniel Ferguson]

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.

[Dustin Norman]

I listen to the same music while programming that I do normally and that varies immensely. Here is a small sample of my current playlist: - Rage Against The Machine: Renegades (This is probably their best work to date. To bad it is their last.) - Paul Oakenfold: Tranceport - Paul van Dyk: Out There And Back - Linkin Park: Hybrid Theory - Dracula 2000 Soundtrack Later, Dustin

[Jim Wuerch]

JPop, and lots of it. Looking through my playlist, I see.. - Hamasaki Ayumi (and all the remixes... gotta love the euro-remixes) - globe (keiko! keiko!) - Every Little Thing - Two Mix (just becuase it tends to be upbeat) - Utada Hikaru - Maeda Ai - Dreams Come True - Kouda Mariko (her pop cd's) - Matsu Takako (I'm addicted to the yume no shizuku vid) - Imai Miki (more mellow stuff) ... lots others ^_^ Jim Wuerch www.miwasoft.com Quote from my readme files: "This is BETA software, and as such may completely destroy your computer, change the alignment of the planets and invert the structure of the universe."

[Crercio O Silva]

Hendrix, Ozzy, Nirvana and Quake Sound Track, are usually choice. But when I got mad programming (believe me it happens) my first choice are Metallica and Venom.
