Oh man I love dream theatre... I saw them in concert in '94 and it was so loud I was deaf for the next two days. :cool:
oh so do i, but its a taste you have to develop... most people cant stand that kind of music... being a guitarist myself i look up to john petrucci :) wish i could see them live, but AFAIK they haven't been to South Africa YET

What kind of music, if any, do you guys/gals listen to while coding. I prefer a couple: Anthrax Opeth Supertramp Steeley Dan Dire Straits CSNY "Weird Al" Based on my mood and the project I find it helps me stay focused and makes the day go by faster.
Mostly ambient, techno, minimal and music without words. Fax Label, Kompakt Label, Border Community Label, Archipel Label ...

Right now? Black Tide, "Light From Above". Absolutely brilliant bunch of young metallers who stay close enough to hard rock to keep me interested. I really like their very obvious early Metallica influence. Generally, anything with either psycho guitars and a massive rock beat if I need to wake up, or spaced-out stuff with an ambient feel if I need to relax. Nothing with good lyrics, otherwise I start to listen to it a bit too much. The lads in my workplace always break out the stereo if we're pushing to hit a deadline, it helps to build the sense of urgency and makes the hours go by a little easier. They generally play hour-long heavy dance mixes, at about 140-150 BPM, and loads of dirty grooves, at obscene volume levels. I have to say it's refreshing although I hate that kind of music under the normal run of things. Speeds up your heartrate and thinkbrain subconsciously, I find.

I only listen to music when coding something boring and repetitive. If I'm working on something tricky or new I have to have absolute silence. When I listen to music I listen to anything and everything with the exception of country music which is fit only for tone deaf weasels. :)

I have a very diverse selection of music to listen to while working. Some highlights: * Fleetwood Mac * The Moody Blues * Supertramp * Queen * Electric Light Orchestra * Billy Idol * Billy Joel * Alphaville * The Beatles * Bon Jovi * Pink Floyd * The Who * Metallica * Apples in Stereo * Toad the Wet Sprocket And a ton more. :) Flynn

Too many different typws to list. Today I had 8 hours of Steve Reich [^], tomorrow might be some obscure Japanese[^] rock/metal[^], jazz or country - every day's a new adventure in MP3-land :-)

Trivuim
Saw them live not so long ago - not overly impressed - Machine Head[^] were *much* better. Seeing Electric Eel Shock[^] soon - really looking forward to that :-)
