Oink Floyd, "Wish you were here" (the album) works extremely well!

I feel the album sounds rather grunty.

List to the album Animals if you think that one is grunty.

No music. I don't need the distraction. --edit I also don't see how music helps to stay in the zone, unless you are already in a place where the music would drown out more annoying sounds. When taking exams or tests, you don't hear music booming through the class-speakers. Silence works best, because the brain can easily ignore the ear.

When you are at the keyboard as much as I am, silence can become an oppressive, scary thing. It starts pressing in on me. And I really don't find music distracting, at least not in a bad way. I'm so apt to just go Rain Mode when programming that it's probably good for me to throw down some bread crumbs along the way.

Mostly jazz (Boney James, Gerald Beasley, Bob Mamet, Candy Dulfer), some chill, some New Age, and Gregorian chant if I've got a migraine coming on.

I'm continously behind it, every day. If you are busy, you don't notice silence.

Most schools will still not allow it, regardless of the amount of kids claiming it helps to study.

Hence why I grew up and stopped letting other people tell me what's good for me I guess. And I doubt you are behind it nearly as much as me. Not many people are.

I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, and the music I used to make back when I was able to have a wee studio was very Floydian in nature. But it's just not something I'd listen to while working for whatever reason.

It is something music does to me, it does not let me think about anything else other than what is going on in the song. I presume this is what happens to you too since you're a musician (I just sing). I avoid listening to music before going to bed as it stimulates my brain so much that I lose sleep for the next 2-3 hours. Onboard with you on Pink Floyd.
