Hi Guys ,

Being a bit of a dinosaur;) for me when I am on my own its got to be the 80's stuff ...Foreigner , Simple Minds , Gary Moore etc .......loud !!!!..together with ......

soundtracks of Gladiator , Musicals like Les Miserable's, Phantom , Love Never dies and .......

if madam is with me then its classical compilations together with Bonnie Rait .

Sometimes also listen to talking books (Sharpe etc) oh and of course the birds outside when I realise I should have gone to bed 5 hours ago and the dawn has broken !!!!!

I have a pretty ecclectic taste in music, but in the bottom of my heart, which is deep, deep, deep inside.... I am a Metalhead!!!!
For the most part my daily soundtrack is oldschool hardcore metal and punk but certain moods call for something else. When I'm at the bench I just set the Ipod on "scatter" (My word for shuffle) and get a background chaos of anything from Metal- Slayer, Motorhead, Metallica, Anthrax, Venom, Celtic Frost, Voi Vod, Kreator, Desstruction... to Punk- The Accused, DRI, GBH, Black Flag, Agnostic Front... to Hard Rock- Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest... to Blues- John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf.... to Rockabilly- Reverend Horton Heat, Stray Cats, Social Distortion and of course the Man in Black... Johnny Cash!
This all sorta falls in line with the way I approach most things... A little chaotic and unpredictable, but I never get bored!!!!!

It's not over 'til the music stops!:p

I listen to a great variaty of music, not only when painting ;)
Mostly listening to some rockmusic like Rammstein, Disturbed, Seether and 3 Doors Down.
Often switching to Movie-soundtracks though. Got a huge collection of scores.
Sometimes changing to milder work like Snow Patrol, Jonathan Jeremiah, Adele, Phil Collins/Genesis, Alan Parsons Project, Pink Floyd, Sting/The Police and CCR.
Metallica and Maiden were on the list couple of years back, the older work is still good, but I'm a bit done with those guys.
 
All sorts, have about 3500 cd titles to chosse from.

Maily when painting its Progresive rock, Tool IsIs, Neurosis, Aroegramme
Pink Floyd, Led Zeplin, Laura Marling

Hardcore Metal, Lamb Of God, Vortice, Type O Negative

Lots of Dirty Dub Step, Nosia, Noisia FX, Niveau Zero, Brokenote

Also movie sound track depending on my mood and what i am painting

Cheers

I listen to internet radio - www.RadioParadise.com (or once in a while other internet stations). It's commercial free, ususally a good mix, and it's actually kinda' nice to hear something new and/or different once in a while.

Thanx for the link Steve, I too listen to internet radio. I have about 20 stations on my play list and I have just added Radio Paradise to the mix. I've been listening to music longer than I have been painting. My whole media set up is geared for Listening to music. My tastes are very eclectic and broad ranged. No Rap Crap. Progressive Rock and Country, to Classical and Jazz with just about everything in between.

The glam from the 70´s Bowie, Roxy, T Rex, Clash and Pistols, Misfits, Chameleons, Bauhaus, Killing Joke, Bolshoi etc. Progressive, hard rock, pop, some classic and jazz rock, fusion etc.

You'll have to let me know what you think a bout RP. I will warn you though, there are times it'll lull you to sleep.
I couldn't agree more about being set up to listen (not just hearing) but actually listening, to music. They say it calms the beast. ;-)

*Fegh! * You probably listened to Tears for Fears, too. Just busting your chops, Gordy! To each, his own, of course.

No, we listened to the A's, Robert Hazard and the Heroes, Bow Wow Wow, the Flirts, X-Ray Spex, The Specials, Madness. And rockabilly groups.

When I first heard the sound, at the end of the Seventies, I felt like a prisoner liberated from the dark, dank dungeon of disco, which did indeed suck. No string sections, no high-picthed voices singing about staying alive, no polyester, no coke. Just stripped-down sounds of three or four chords on a couple of guitars, crew cuts, Converse fish-head bobos and skinny ties and jackets from the Salvation Army store.

Of course, the path led me back to classic rock by the late 80s, then to metal and grunge, till I got tired of the rank hedonism, pessimism and nihilism of rock, and started listening to country and polkas. Though I still roll the windows down and crank the radio in my truck when Dio or Ritchie Blackmore come on. Or Cheap Trick.

Prost!

Well, I like a bit of everything, but I tend to focus on the Moody Blues, Loreena McKennitt, Enya, Emmylou Harris, Chieftains, Glenn Miller, some classical and my road tapes (the aforementioned little bit of everything - mostly 60s, 70s, 80s, and early 90s, rock, pop, and country. The 1910 Fruitgum Company rocks!
