There isn't a miscellaneous forum so I posted this here (sorry Don couldn't find an alternative). Since many of us cross forums, industries, paths in life, emails and so forth (some of you I have known and corresponded with for years), just curious to know outside of tech... What does everyone listen to. When I work I tend to throw on headphones to listen to music. In fact, when I read, I also listen to music. Personally, I listen to everything under the sun including foreign music (German, Swedish, Russian, Asian, etc)

I noticed that when listening to music I get a lot of "aha" moments when doing security work. Most tracks I listen to tend to be fast paced and very "lyrical." Lyrical in the sense that most songs I listen are craftily worded. ... So what's everyone else listening to? Today I'm on a hip hop frame of mind. I don't mean rap music you will hear on the radio. Current playlist: Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, Slaine, Block McCloud

Funny thing is I can switch it up an hour later and listen to Hall and Oates, Styxx, Ratt, Kenny Rogers, industrial music .... I'm just curious to know who else out there has as much ADD/ADHD as I do

I listen to a lot of different music, but here's some I listen to currently:

Some of the music I've recently listened to:

http://youtu.be/30TLwNpL5X0
http://youtu.be/taUIis-SHNI (Danish rap, unlike most rap it's just about they like living in Denmark and why of course.)
http://youtu.be/0SLgTq4uUfY (More Danish rap, this is pretty much what's in the radio at the moment.)

Here's a playlist I made for fun: (It's rarely I listen to them track by track, and yes it's aimed at being random.)

I know it's probably not what everyone likes, but sometimes I listen to other styles too, it pretty much depends on what I feel like listening to  


Edit: After a while I remembered that I've worked a lot while listening to Carbon Based Lifeforms, e.g., this track: http://youtu.be/Z_8G0zHMuwg (Often their entire albums which is like one long mix.)

When I am working with security stuff, I do not listen anything plus I try to find a very quite office to avoid distraction.

I prefer Slipknot / Bieber collaborations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kspPE9E1yGM

I have a Rhapsody subscription, which is great for trying out other artists. It streams flawlessly to mobile devices, even while driving.

My recent history shows:

• Pendulum
• Daft Punk
• Deftones
• Five Finger Death Punch
• Within Temptation
• Plumb
• Paul Oakenfold
• Tool
• Rise Against
• KMFDM
• Avenged Sevenfold
• Stone Sour

I have a collection of soundtracks and opening/closing themes from various anime that I mix in as well. I also love the ambient experience of the Mass Effect 3 soundtrack, which I've been looping non-stop lately.

Maxe +1 at the Snowflake remix. As far as the rap is concerned, reminded me of when I lived in Sweden and would listen to Petter

K since dynamik named names here is a brief list of whats on my laptop:

Assembage 23
VNV Nation
KMFDM
Vinny Paz

Dismantled
Sevendust
Godsmack
Mindless Self Indulgence

Then there are a couple of tracks I made: http://www.tormenting.net/dr8/

hard rock/metal, certainly more fast pace stuff when I am working in the lab.  If I am working on a course or reading, I tend to listen to more instrumental, electronic stuff.  Daft Punk seems to work and lately their Tron Legacy soundtrack really puts me in the zone.  I need something in the background to drown out other noises in the house or office.

Man... I use Gunther Tra-la-la

Ahh the good old ding dong song   On the same theme:
