What Kind Of Music Do You Listen To While You Build?

[OldTrucker]

Mostly 60's and early 70's rock.

Have been known to occasionally build to Yanni and Glenn Miller too!

Classical on vinyl. Sometimes Frank Sinatra, Buddy Holly or Gene Krupa, vinyl as well.

Like others have said, depends on a number of factors, but I'm all over the board. Classic rock, rockabilly, motown,  big band, jazz, blues western swing, The list goes on. I'd say Dylan, Petty & Steve Earle seem to be in the player most often.

My good friends were in a band on the same label as Steve Earle and they opened for him and the Dukes for over a year in Europe and North America around 2002 (I think it was). They still keep in touch with him today. That guy has some stories.

When I was a kid I can remember this song seemed like it was on the radio every time I turned it on. It got stuck in my head long ago. The Sultans of Swing was not far behind. I guess I just tuned out the discoey stuff.

I'm another of those all over the map people. Those who know me well and still admit it will tell you I have a wide range of musical interests. Lately, been listening to a lot of 20th century classical and neoclassical composers like Olafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm, and Hania Rani. Jazz Fusion is a perennial; Weather Report,  Return to Forever, and any of their component musicians makes for good build music in my hobby room. My wife is relieved that I've temporarily?) departed from my Charles Ives phase.

Paul Westerberg. Knockin' Em Back.         Great guitar tones in this one.

It's rare that I listen to music while building. 95% of the time I'll have something from RedLetterMedia playing in the background, usually Best of The Worst. 

When it is music, it's normally the same sludge and death metal I would be listening to any other time, or the occasional grunge, prog rock, or even Enya album depending on mood.
