Music! Whats Your Thing?

[sharkeyfinn]

hi everyone, just for grins i thought it would fun to see what everyone listens to (if anything) while your working on your projects?

just recently i have been listening to : shawn mullins (souls core) julie london (julie is her name) with a little janes addiction thrown in for good measure, however i do find the first two a bit more focusing, and sometimes i find just instrumental music very settling :-)

I am glad for this post and hope it receives several responses so I can get exposed to different artists. Personally I listen to country music especially John Denver (yes that dates me) but am always seeking other artists along that line. Soft and mellow is my way to go although I throw in some celtic when I want to liven things up a bit.

hi pounder, you should definately try some julie london and shawn mullins if you like soft and mellow, julie london sang cry me a river, one of my all time favourites ;-) im also a big bowie fan, but only some of his works are fit for purpose when im crafting lol ;-)

Hi to both of you. You can't beat a bit of Joe Bonamassa

I like to listening to wait for it TOM T HALL and Kenny Rogers

[raysouth]

Hey Pawpaw, we have something in common. Both great to listen to and very relaxing. I had the fortunate experience to meet, at a car show, a gent that was a Kenny Rogers double. He sounded like him and certainly looked like him. I have the pics in my shop and folks always believe that it is Kenny when they see them. He is also from Georgia and often wonder if he actually met his idol. Interesting and fun stuff.

Also love the rc semis I had the good fortune to see some years ago. Outstanding toys and functioned as the real thing. Very fine craftsmanship and the selection of the different models was fantastic.

I have been a plane nut for many years, and enjoy watching the different video clips on you tube now and then. Had private license when I was young and it was one of the best experiences in my life.

Rattling on.

God Bless.

Lately, Porcupine Tree. Shame I didn't discover them earlier.

Also Tool and Nine Inch Nails. Back when I used to make braided string lanyards a friend was astonished that I could plait listening to Pantera.

Cheers

lol pantera ! fantastic i will look out for joe bonamassa and tom t hall, i have always been a bit of a bowie fan, and the hero's album has seen the light of day lately, i would like to get into some classical ,but thats a hard one to find a starting point from. thanks for the replies so far, most interesting

I'd suggest Beethoven's 9th and 5th, and Mozart's Requiem. I'm particularly fond of the versions with von Karajan conducting the Viena or Berlin Philarmonic.

Sting's "The Last Ship" is in the CD player at the moment. At any given time, however, you might find Bach, Mozart, Saint Saens, Count Basie, Reel Big Fish, Steely Dan, Donald Fagan, Patsy Cline, Rush, Ozzy Osborne, Keane, Fun, MCR .... In other words ... I like most everything, and can work to most of it. Quite often, the TV is on in the background too.
