What's everyone listening to while they turn or spend time in the shop/studio?

I'm really excited .... Dave Alvin and the Guilty Men are going to be in town (well at least within 30 miles of town :biggrin:) and I just picked up a pair of tickets! :smile:

I have about 20-25 favorites that would be in my top 5... :biggrin:
(hey, if atheletes can give 110% then I can have 25 bands in my top 5)

Lately I have also really enjoyed listening to John Prine, Little Charlie and The Nightcats, Jimmy Reed, and I can never get enough of Mark Knopfler!

So what are your "not to be missed" favorites?

I have a special playlist of the theme songs from Disney's Epcot amusement park including the theme songs from the innoventions area and the ride soarin'. Most powerful and inspirational music you will ever listen to.
 
Metallica, Sepultura, Pantera, Slipknot, Ac/Dc, Rammstein .......... I could keep going on but you know where I'm going:RockOn::RockOn::RockOn:
 
Guy Clark, Townes van Zandt, & Steve Earle - Together at the Bluebird Cafe

Lyle Lovett, Gaelic Storm, Great Big Sea, Steve Martin, Allison Krauss, Cowboy Junkies, The Jam, The Housemartins, etc.

On Pandora, I have an Irish channel, a Guy Clark channel, a New Wave channel, a few others, and I just put it on shuffle.
 
Call me weird, but I listen to daily podcasts of the Dave Ramsey show while in the shop, at least when the drill press and/or lathe isn't running.

It's a great way to keep me focused with financial goals, while working on doing something I love. Also repeatedly reminds me not to overspend on tools that would be cool, but can wait until I sell more.

From Nina Simone to Metallica. Life is too short to limit your music.

Idem.

Over 9000 mp3's in an old laptop witn media center set at "random". I take what goes out . Love everything from Mozart to Garth Brooks, from CCR to Metallica, from Allan Jackson to ZZtop and everything in bettween.
 
I have Thousands of songs 5k +. But most of what I listen to right now is Switchfoot's new album. They just added a tour date in Charleston 3.5 hrs away but I have to work the next morning :(

YES!!! I also add the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, the Clash, Iggy Pop, Circle Jerks.....I could name more...

Word of Caution; don't play the Pogues while running the lathe or you will end up with a toothpick instead of a pen.
 
I like The Clash as well!

How about these from the past ... TonioK - "Life in the Foodchain"

Or The Steve Gibbons Band - "Down In The Bunker" .... great stuff :biggrin:

Toto, Heart, Dan Seals, Chicago, Boston, Bon Jovi, A little Ozzy, all the stuff from when music had real soul.

I hate to break it to you....but I don't think Ozzy qualifies in that category :tongue:

I'm riding with yall next roadtrip! I'll add a few: Audioslave, Apocalyptica, Disturbed, Hurt, Jimi Hendrix, Lacuna Coil, Korn, Mushroomhead, Papa Roach, Rage Against the Machine, Sublime, Shinedown, The Showdown, Static X, Stone Sour, Tenacious D, & Three Days Grace

Someone that yall have to look up is Richard Cheese. He's awesome.
 
I don't have an MP3 player, I do have an old cassette player/AM/FM radio in my shop... somewhere, forget where I put it... I never listen to anything in the shop... the noise(I love Music but not in the shop) distracts me...
 
Good grief! I guess I'm showing my age but I still like songs where you can understand the words! Artists like Conway Twitty, George Jones, Faron Young, Marty Robbins, Statler Brothers or some of the classic oldies like Wonderland by night or Baby elephant walk!

My friend Loren, the town Dentist, still listens to an old 8 track in his shop! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
His playlist would begin and end with Sinatra (although there would be some Tony Bennett in there as well).:smile:

Watch Hatari w/ John Wayne.
 
I have 1 Marty Robbins song and 2 Johnny Horton songs on my Ipod as well. Also just added Betty Davis eyes, Bridge over troubled waters, Dream Weaver, and The night they drove ole Dixie down. And yes, saying Ozzy and real soul in the same sentence is a bit of a stretch. :biggrin:
 
I listen to top 40 country radio because I only have a crappy little radio in the garage. My nicer stereo system sits on the floor unplugged. I really need to take time away from turning to wire up the speakers...
 
Ray Stevens; Dave Gardner; Cowboy Poetry (and music) such as Red Stegall, Baxter Black, Badger Clark, Curley Fletcher, Ken Cook; Zac Brown Band and two guys from my home town that were in school with me: Tommy Alverson and Sam Baker. Most all southern gospel music but not all of it. C&W both old and new. Oldies from the 60's; Pandora Rocks!
Do a good turn daily!

Ha!! I was just thinking about this after a few days off from the shop...Chris Tomlin, Pavarotti, Gaga, Chicago, Garth Brooks, Copeland, so many different things!!!
 
All of the above and then some.

Anything blues, jazz, pantera most stuff from Texas, and anything else you can think of. I have a 160 gig and an 80 gig iPod which are both full.
 
Too funny. I have an old Ryobi Radio and it stays on one of 3 stations (2 Country 1 Rock) and I never touch it after that unless I happen to walk by it. No MP3 though. I bought one and just dont use it.
 
Black Oak Arkansas , Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, Moe Bandy, George Jones, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Doug Kershaw..........pretty much in that order.

Pick up a pair of powered computer speakers and play your mp3 player through them. I refuse to wear earbuds .... they hurt my ears! I Hooked up my Mp3 player to my reciever at work and listen through some cordless headphones. At home I have a couple different pairs of old computer speakers I plug into.... both sound pretty good ... especially the Bose pair.

Beethoven, Cole Porter, Foo Fighters, Fear Factory. Anything that sounds good at any particular moment.
