What music does the programmer hear?

That makes as much sense as everything else you've said.

I'm sorry. I'm doing my best, but English is not easy. I was obviously referring to the album of the Scorpions. :sigh: You know the world goes down if he turns on that kind of music! Still it was worth a try even if this joke failed. :(( But that's why I'm here! To learn it. :-\

(Sorry for my bad English in advance!) Wow, we do love each other very much don't we? It's not the first time you step on my foot! Have you read the text at the very first line, here and at the first post? Yes, "Sorry for my bad English in advance!". To get things straight, my posting is just a humble intention to improve my English. Thank you and please don't tell me that I should go somewhere else. Because I don't think I have broken any rules!

If you want to learn English, do it at the expense of someone else. We're programmers, not English teachers. No, you haven't broke any rules, but you're annoying the hell outa me, and take me at my word - that's not a good thing.

If you like the Scorpions, you really should take a listen to Accept, UFO and MSG.

That would be a change for me. Not sure if the woman would like that. She makes me turn off opera especially if it is sung in a language that I don't know and I only know english and a little Spanish. Never heard any Spanish opera though...

It might be fun to broaden her horizons a bit, then. I can agree with her about opera, though - I enjoy the Phantom immensely, but can't tolerate the screeching that passes for music in Italian operas. I'd love to hear a Spanish opera, but I can't recall hearing of any. Do they do anything but mariachi music these days?

(Sorry for my bad English in advance.) I was wondering what music taste programmers have. Actually I'm feeling quite out of place with my two music genres, Heavy Metal and Blues-Rock. I mean a programmer is usually a well educated, smart and talented person, shouldn't he/she not listen to Heavy Metal? Wouldn't normal people think that that programmer who listens to Heavy Metal is a MORON? Personally I love the electric guitar very much, which reminds me on a newcomer called Anthony Gomes who plays on the e-guitar very well. The song War On War really rocks! Here is a link on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbbpYLU21zA[^] But keep in mind that Anthony Gomes is actually Blues-Rock and not Heavy Metal in the way of Metallica or Scorpions. Though, I liked Metallica until the point where I had enough of swearing so I moved to Scorpions. Here is my favorite song of the album Humanity Hour 1: The Game of Life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAyihmJkH0E[^] Or listen to the song Humanity, did you know that you are a drop in the rain, just the number not a name? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjb0mld4SpM[^] ... and Humanity goodbye!
I know programmers who like heavy metal, some who like blues, some who like Mozart, some who like Pink Floyd...and myself, who likes them all (also some big band music LOL)...Your talent is not determined by your musical tastes, but idiots with blinders are easily identified by asserting that determination.

Interesting question, I do not think you can draw any great conclusions here as I do not think most programmers listen to the same stuff but I will throw my 2cents in... To best describe what I listen to is to say what I do not listen to as I have been known to like a lot of different genres (rap, r&b, metal, classic rock, disco, country, alternative, blues ...) . I am not real big on polka though. Perhaps if I looked more into that I could find something I liked..

I personally prefer some chill-out and relaxing stuff ... especially Mike Oldfield and demoscene electronic music (http://www.demovibes.org) ;)

OMG, Michael Oldfield...heavenly music brought to us by a demonic movie...and the first (perhaps only) album to feature Piltdown Man as a musical instrument.

On the head Roger, the complexity is part of what attracts me to rock. With the large dynamic range there can be several layers present at once. :cool:

I remember my brother introducing me to Queen's first two albums...especially Queen II, with "Seven Seas of Rhye", in which I can hear Bach being chanelled by these classically-trained musicians. Gotta love it, gotta love it. Compared to Queen, Richie Blackmour, Ozzie, Ted Nugent, and JudasPriest, Metallica is now and ever will be a set of derivative posers.
