I was working away (very rare thing) and threw in a old black sabbath CD and noticed my work speed picked up anyone work to music? any favorites you want to share.

* NO I'm not a metal head, I like alsorts of music (rap isnt music)
* Black Sabbath for you young ones is a heavy metal band, probably not so heavy by todays standards thou.

Oh yes, I do all the time. Some of my favs are Bob Segar, Bob Dylan, CCR, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Browne, Eagles, Otis Redding, Ben E. King and even though I don't listen to them much anymore, Lynard Skynard used to be the tops.

I listen to music while I work. Usually alternative, but I can stand anything but country and opera.

When I get stuck, I cut out a piece of code, then sing "Eeny Meeny Miny Mo", then paste it there. 8P j/k

At work I always listen to housemusic, funk, garage, trance, triphop and lounge or one of my home made garagehouse-mixes. Both Mp3 and CD.

I never listen to Mark Anthony Wink

yeah, while coding i really like to listen to music. bob dylan's one of my favourites too. but the best one (for me at least) is R.E.M. with their 'singles collected'. that one really speeds up my thinking...

A few others I listen to are more 80's bands like genisis, cat stevens, joan jett and Stevie Nicks etc

I have about 1 gig of mp3's and CD collection is at about 200

This is my favourite band at the moment (the site is great btw!). They come from Germany and make some kind of latin-groove-funk-lounge or so...

I think it's great workmusic!

I've been discovering some stuff lately that I never knew I liked before. I only recnetly found out that I really like Pink Floyd.

Jack - I really like that De-Phazz link. Cool stuff. Some of it sort of sounds like ska which is another one of my recent discoveries (the Specials!). I'd like to get more into jazz because I think it could be more inspiring as far as design work goes, but I don't really know where to start.

Most of the stuff I listen to is 80's, 60's folk, a little oldies type stuff... a little bit of punk...

Busy,

Your speed might have picked up while listening to Black Sabbath, but how was the quality of your code Wink

I find listening to music really helps me code better, otherwise it can get a little monotonous. My favorites to code to are Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, and Brian Eno.

I'm in the process of converting all my CDs to MP3s so I can listen to them while I'm at work, I'm over 5 gigs and I'm not even a quarter of the way done Sad

You can check out my radio station here which contains those MP3s that I've converted, played randomly (works best with WinAmp)

apart from the odd missing quote worked out pretty good, only problem is the table/graphic layout I was working on looks great in Netscape 4.7 but is messed up in IE 5
Its actually got me stumped

May have to find some smurf tunes to fix it lol Laughing out loud

Troy,

You must work in a small office, if someone near me starting whistling the Smurfs song; I would have to render them unconscious...

"La la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la **SMACK **

Much better...
