      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.

        Various. Did one 3 month project where (looking back on it) I had a best of Lemonheads cd playing on repeat... Another project it was a Whipping Boys cd... Always have some techno (hard trance/house/whatever name you want to call it) that I use as well. At the moment its Sonic Animation (good stuff! get it! Support Australian music!) And some other instrumental ("new age"ish) stuff... Like Mike Oldfield. Have fun, Paul Westcott.

Bach) many more... You see, I am kinda Rock! Headbanger! Runaround Electric Guitarist! But I have my roots in classic! I got some recds on my web as samples! :) Cheers Masoud

                    Humm nice to see that some of you listens to good music :) On my part it's mainly punk, ska and techno. Some King Diamonds (The Eye) and alternative music. I have to say that Rage Against The Machine is excellent to program to !!! But when I need a big concentration rush... it's no music at all !!! Cheers ! Luc Bergeron

                        I can't believe there aren't any good old fashioned Disco lovers in the people who've responded. I guess it's true what they've been saying for the past 20 years: Disco is dead. :-( Well, it may be dead, but I still love it! And actually, if you visit me here in Miami, I can take you to several nightclubs where Disco still lives (till 5 in the morning!). Heck there's even an FM radio station that plays Disco all day long (103.5). I write my best multiply-inherited template classes while jamming to Donna Summer, Chic, and the Bee Gees. :-) Cheers! Alvaro

                            *grin* at risk of incriminating myself I will answer *before* finding out if anyone else shares my tastes. I have all my CD's on MP3 ( 50 odd MP3 CD's ) and I listen to music like Accept, Kix, Motley Crue, Faster Pussycat, Def Leppard, U.D.O., Iron Maiden, Megadeth, etc. For variety, I've lately been downloading 12" remixes of 80's pop songs like Prince, U2, and one hit wonders like 'You spin me like a record' and 'I wanna be a cowboy'.

                                Yes, yes, yes !! I bought Puppets when it came out ( and lived in the T-shirt, but that is another sordid tale ), and consider it their finest moment, much as I love the Loads.

                                    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

                                          What do you guys listen to while programming? Just listening to Rage Against the Machine. Seems kinda apt these days :) cheers, Chris Maunder

                                          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
