I thank my parents for saving me from this thing called modern music. You couldn't pay me to listen to a modern song...

Wow, that's pretty narrow minded. I bet you like multi-piece body Revell kits too because they came from the "Golden Age" of modeling the classics!

Being 53 yrs. old I'll bet you think I'm going to lobby for the Stones, Floyd, and Tull. Nope, never happen. Much like today, radio feeds you what THEY want you to hear. Not to single out anyone (sorry for the above quote....) but to me all those "Classic" rock acts are nothing more than that generations top 40 that was pumped out of the record company machine. If you close your mind to new things, your bound to be a historian, not a participant of today. Modern music is bad? Yup.... only the ###### you hear on the radio. Nickleback stinks, but Stone Sour is great. The new Metallica with Lou Reed is HORRIBLE.... but Metallica's last album was good. You just have to LISTEN. I don't own a Beatles, Zeppelin, Stones, or Grateful Dead album (MP3 files...) But I DID go see Death Angel, Testament, and Anthrax in New Jersey Saturday night.... I guess I'm the exception to the "Classic Rock" regurgitation demographic, huh? Listen to the words to Rush's Spirit of the Radio. This will give some insight to what I'm saying....

BTW: When I build I prefer some vintage Jazz to keep the mood smooth and easy. If I'm doing demo work in the yard or I'm using loud, noisy power tools, Slipknot or Tool is a good fit. To me classic rock is early Rage Against the Machine...headbang.gif

For me, I have a Jazz station that broadcast's out of New Jersey (WBGO) They play all the genuine vintage stuff. Just Piano, Bass, Drums, Horns, and usually very poorly recorded. For me it's the perfect fit for a mellow mood for building. It's not all I listen to, but for model building it's old school Jazz.

Megadeth- Symphony of Destruction.

For me it pretty much depends on what I'm building. I use music to get me in the mood of the subject.

So if I -let's say- build a Mercedes 540K, I listen to Max Raabe und das Palast Orchester, Marlene Dietrich, etc.

If I build an old Heller, I listen to Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Yves Montand, etc.

If I build a classic American, I listen to Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, etc.

If I build a Fifties car, I listen to Dion & The Belmonts, Flash Cadillac, etc.

If I build a Pick Up or Truck, I listen to Alan Jackson, The Dillards, etc.

and so on...

Looking forward to building the London Bus, because I'll listen to Ashton Gardner & Dyke, some ancient Fleetwood Mac and the Honky Tinkers.

I like to listen to anything from Pink Floyd, but every time I do, the missus yells out "turn that bloody drug music off".... So conciquently I have to wait for her to leave the house before I can get my PF hit...Sheesh... some people got no taste

For me it's gotta be oldies. 50's and 60's doo wop, beach boys and such. It just takes me back to what I listened to when I built models as a kid and it brings back those old feelings and enjoyment. Sure i'll occasionially throw in some other newer genre, but the oldies is where the heart is for me. :P

The radio or whatever CD happens to be at hand. Sometimes I'll plug in the MP3 player and play a selection of the 425 songs currently on it!

I have an ecclectic taste in music from 50s to current...Bill Haley to Nine Inch Nails to Pink Floyd to Rise Against and EVERYTHING in between!!

Rest assured...the Metallica/Lou Reed thing is by no means to be considered the new Metallica release. I along with the rest of their fans were freaking when they announced that one..but it's just a side project, a collaboration. Why they did it, we don't know..the reason they did S&M was because they could. They got to the point in their career where they could do anything they wanted.(not bad for a band that my friends told me sucked when i first played Ride The Lightning for them back in the 80's...look at'em now) I hated S&M when it first came out, but over the years it's grown on me..Lulu..will never see the inside of my CD player though.

Wow..Death Angel is still around?? That brings me back!! *warm nostalgia feelings for the 80's*
