Ive got 120 gig of music on my desktop. Mostly rock from 60s on all Floyd and Zeppelin stuff along with some modern rock to fill a much needed void. I have a radio hidden under the desk that stays on the local classic rock station. My tv is my new monitor and I could care less about cable even though all i need to do is hook it up and i would have tv. Dad listens to country while he builds on the kitchen table but yet his current project is on my keyboard right now.

Did someone say Golden earring?

The best song for driving, EVER.

Moontan is a great album, but the two real gems are Candy's Going Bad and Vanila Queen (a fantastic piece of 70's prog rock).

In the years 1956-58, I spent a lot of 50-cent pieces on 45rpm records (you know, those 7" vinyls with that one inch holes, that required either a snap-in disc in the middle, or a fat spindle overlay (which my Webster-Chicago High Fidelity portable record player came with as an accessory!).

I wasn't into rock & roll yet--in those years it was country or folk music--Johnny Horton was big with me, as was the Kingston Trio.

So, it was records like "Sink the Bismarck" or "The Battle of New Orleans" (that was a hit right at the time that Queen Elizabeth II made her first State Visit to the US, caused a ton of controversy, that song right then!), and a year or so later, the likes of "Charlie and the MTA", Tom Dooley and such by the Kingston Trio. In late 1957, a grad student at Purdue, a customer on my Indianapolis Star paper route, told me he was getting his PhD in January, and moving, and would I be interested in buying his stereo? Yeah sure, I said, and then on the way home it was like "gulp!"--what would my parents say when I told them I had agreed to spend $100 of my hard-earned money on that?

Mom and Dad were more than sympathetic, they encouraged me to go right ahead--so that week, I took 5 crisp $20 bills to Philip's apartment, with Dad in tow, and I bought the outfit--and we packed it in Dad's Hudson and back home we went (4 blocks) with Philip in tow to help me get it set up in my new basement digs (a 15x30 foot room that was ALL MY OWN--it was to be part of a basement apartment my parents planned for when I left the nest). I built all of my model cars in HS to music from that stereo, and I had an eclectic taste, partially pushed on me by Dad (who really loved classical music). But it was those country and folk records that I used to get the creative juices flowing. Customs, rods, even factory stock model cars got those tunes imprinted into their bodywork, their paint jobs.

I still like country, but it has to be classic country--and every now and then, I dig out some CD's of old folk songs, Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul and Mary; Simon and Garfunkel. Where once it was my favorite music that drove my model car building, now it's whatever tickles me that I listen to.

Speaking of Pearl Jam, I love Eddie Vedder's solo stuff. Makes ya think.

I like Social Distortion a bunch too, mainly because Mike Ness and I have SO MUCH in common... well... except for the prison and drugs.

Lately I have been listening to a lot of Chris Isaak, and spinning Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Johnny Winter and The Box Tops on my grandparent's circa 1960 cabinet-style record player. B)

My brother, who plays around town, and I were talking the other day and thought it would be hysterical to be up on stage and say, "Does anyone here like country music?" Of course, you'd get a positive response. Then, start playing Armenian folk music. To the bewildered audience you could say, "Yeah, but we didn't tell you which country." :P:):)

Generally I watch a movie or TV shows on DVD while building. It sort of gives me something to listen to while working, and something to do when waiting for glue/paint to dry, or just to give myself a break from working.

Very clever.

Alot of my tastes seem to be tuned into what I'm building example the Mongoose duster fc I'm building at the moment seems to be 70's type music CCR, Charlie Daniels band etc. When I'm building promods is when I seem to break out the Heavy as in black,death or thrash metal . The mustang I've not long finished was David Allen Coe and Hank Williams lll. I probably woulnt have noticed but a mate came over the other day and made the observation. I must be getting mellower in my older than I used to be age, 10 years ago I wouldnt listen to anything that wasnt heavy metal. By the way whats wrong with Britney Spears ? As long as she keeps her mouth shut and is kept away from small children, theres nothing wrong with her or her music if shes not singing it ,just listen to Children of Bodoms, Britney cover.........Brilliant stuffrolleyes.gif

Parev. Ench Besess? (Hello. How are you?)

And yes, I do like country music, too.

Although not Armenian folk music, "Yerevan Stars," if you can find it, is a great album. Armenia has also produced some excellent jazz and contemporary musicians.

Until recently I spend almost all of my time in a tractor cab; ploughing, cultivating, drilling etc so I’d have the radio on a lot of time. During long days when my concentration wavered or the dreaded “heavy eyelid syndrome†struck I’d plug in my ipod, hit shuffle & enjoy the mix.

When I’m modelling however I do so in silence although I’ve usually got the window open so I listen to the music of the countryside.

If I’m feeling rowdy I’ll listen to some of my favourites; Chuck Berry, Little Feet, The Eagles, Nils Lofgren, Neil Young.

Just recently I’ve been listening to Sea Sick Steve, personally I think he’s amazing, can’t get enough of the guy.

Van Halen :blink:

not always aha, i listen to comedy radio channels almost all the time im using computers there free and hardly any adverts too.

if not Van Halen or comedy stations its usually 80's rock/metal, or some kind of techno/breakbeat station kinda soothing to listen when your concentrating i guess ?
