      Sometimes the silence is the best music, but at this moment, I'm pleasing my ears with the Live CD, Mental Jewerly. It starts with 'Pain lies on the Riverside'. Do CPians have any good sugestions to listen while working ? Is anyone listening online radios ? Which ? Crivo Automated Credit Assessment

      I think if I listened to online radio the web monkey would gut me and put my head over the door as an example to all bandwidth wasters. Currently I'm partial to Twisted Sister and Whitesnake. I have about 40 gig of mp3's to choose from, mostly 80's hard rock. Every week or so I work through Metallica from the 'No Life 'til Leather' demo through to ...And Justice For All ( or maybe the black album, but while I liked the Loads, I've not listened to them for ages ). I also especially love the past few Megadeth albums. When I feel like a change I have a CDR full of 12" remixes of 80's songs like 'Dancing in the dark', and 'You think you're a man'. Or I turn to the Cherry Poppin' Daddies or Brian Setzer, or maybe Stevie Ray Vaughan.

        Lately, Tool's "Lateralis" CD. I wasn't too wild about it when I first bought it but now I can't stop listening to it. Another frequent play is Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here". Very calming and dreamy :cool:

            Let's see... in my playlist right now:

            • Robert Johnson: The Complete Recordings
            • Rush: Counterparts
            • Rush: Hold Your Fire
            • Muddy Waters: Hard Again
            • Primus: Pork Soda
            • Enya: Watermark
            • Enya: Shepherd Moons

            But that's just for downtime. I generally subscribe to the Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance philosophy of no music while doing something that requires brainpower. I was in denial for many years, but I've come to the conclusion that anything that takes cycles to process, even subconsciously, reduces the mental horsepower available for the task at hand.

                MP3's and Sonique, baby! It's nice, because whenever I start getting mental burnout, I can just look over at the player, which stays on top transparently, and watch the cool visual plugins for a minute or two. I especially like the 'miffo' plugin. Jamie Nordmeyer Portland, Oregon, USA

                  If I’m working on Code I listen to the Electronic stuff (yeah, same sound over and over) or some heavy rock (Metallica, Sepultura, that kind of stuff), it helps with the speed plus it puts your subconscious to work (while the conscience is listening to the music), plus is the only kind of music that goes with loads of coffee. If I’m working on the GUI, either Pink Floyd (The wall, dark side of the moon, whish you were here and animals it that order, plus some select tunes from the other disks). You know for the artistic mind, and there should never be a rush or distraction while you are making the GUI. If I’m making databases, or working on them. Nothing's better than a good opera (Verdi specially, or good marches). Nobody else seems to like it here, so they leave me alone while its playing, plus I like it. Rodrigo

                      Simon Shaheen - Arabic/Jazz fusion, amazing Oud player. (created some good GUIs on Blue Flame) Floyd - Early stuff (espec. Meddle) late at night. The rest (post DSOTM) (except Animals-never did like that) during the day. Mozart. I like "Eine Kliene Nacht Muzik" early in the morning. :confused: Clapton. ("Unplugged" for writing device drivers) ELP. "Brain Salad Surgery" for long debugging sessions :-) Steve T. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

                                Right now I am listening to Tracy Chapman - Collection. Beautiful stuff. But most of the time I listen to dance/electronica music while coding. It keeps me up beat and full of energy.
