Hi m8s,

I was wondering, just for fun: what kind of music do you guys like to listen to while hacking/doing other comp stuff?

I myself often like something calm, like reggea (Bob -, Ziggy -, Damien Marley, Eek-a-Mouse), or stuff like Massive Attack and St. Germain.
Although I love other style's of music (electro, metal), I find it harder to focus with them on during all-night programming/comp fiddling, but that's offcourse a very person-specific view.

If you can name some groupnames with your hacking musicstyle's, please do! I might find some inspiration to expand that particular playlist

I am like-minded with you two, but I am a bit stranger I think:  AIR, Anthrax, Basement Jaxx, Daft Punk, Dam-Funk, Deee-Lite, DJ Shadow, Dr. Dre, Dreadzone, Empire of the Sun, Erykah Badu, Flying Lotus, Grateful Dead, GWAR, Hooverphonic, Jamiroquai, Jazzanova, KISS (Music From the Elder), Lawnmower Deth, Lemon Jelly, Massive Attack, Megadeth, Morcheeba, Mux Mool, The Orb, Portishead, Ronald Jenkees, Roy Ayers, Royksopp, Sorcerer, Stakka Bo, St. Germain, and Them Crooked Vultures are the top for me.  

Sorry for the rambling...I love music just a little while during pen testing.  

This will sound weird.
Ice Cube, Tupac, DMX, WC & Maad Circle, westside connection, immortal technique, and other old stuff.

I would have to say anything that gets you in the 'mood'! 
For myself, it's just background noise since I am concentrating and blocking out the sounds of little feet running around the house!

Can range from classical to 80's genre!

I am very open minded and that was just my short list.  

Spiderlabs (trustwave's hackers) has a radio mix off of itunes, really good stuff:

For pandora.com a proxy is needed if located outside the US, due to licensing constraints. Shouldn't be a problem though.

Awesome. Didn't know this one yet, but been using it all day at work, and loving it so far. Thanks!
