Here's another thread where I hope everyone can join in!

What music do you like listening to while the soldering iron is smoking away on the bench?

Right now I'm going through a Country & Western phase, and am listening to Dwight Yoakam's "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere" at full blast through my Sennheisers (it's late at night at night here, and I don't want to upset the neighbours) but I listen to a lot of classical music too.

Agreed, another nice thread.

System of a Down, a few songs from different bands, and The Beatles. As weird as that may sound, they are a great band. A few bands i listen to less are Mindless Self Indulgence, 2 from Slipknot, and Linkin Park.

Arcs, I've got all the Beatles albums, and go through phases of listening to them a lot. My favourite albums are Revolver, Sgt Pepper, and Abbey Road - though any of them will do!

The Doors and The Grateful Dead and Lou Reed also make great middle-of-the night listening, or Frank Zappa ('Freak Out!' and 'Hot Rats!' ) and Country Joe and The Fish 'Electric Music For the Mind and Body' if the sparks n arcs are going great at 4 a.m.!

I am quite new to The Beatles. Only a few weeks! But that does not negate my opinion

depends on what I am working on: if I am preparing for some very high heat, fire, homemade rocket propellant, dangerous devices**: Finale 1812 Overture, Prelude to Carmen, The Hall of the Mountain King, etc

for just normal working on random things, I will listen to just about anything pertaining to rock.

**dangerous devices may include one or more of the following: fireworks controllers, High Voltage/High Energy devices, combustion materials such as Calcium Carbide, mechanical items of destruction, or anything else that can produce an intense dramatic moment

Eagles, Journey, U-2, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Don Henley (End of the Innocence) some Beatles (Elanor Rigby, Let It Be) some Stones (Sympathy for the Devil???) and Simon and Garfunkel. Don't care for much of the current stuff.

Classic rock (almost) all the way. The Beatles are always great to work to. Rubber Soul is probably my all-time favorite, though Abbey Road is right up there. I like to mix in some Doors, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and whatever else comes to mind -- maybe some CCR, Allman Brothers, Blue Oyster Cult (gotta have more cowbell), the Who, Dire Straits, the Rolling Stones, or Hendrix. In the last few months, my playlist has been heavy with bands I don't often listen to, such as America, the Eagles, Steve Miller Band, the Ink Spots, Warren Zevon, and Queen.

Lately, though, I've been listening to audiobooks instead. Carl Sagan's the Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark is simultaneously inspiring, uplifting, frightening, and saddening.
