looper567 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Metal mostly (Progressive and Thrash), and Southern Rock. Queensryche, DreamTheatre, Motorhead, Metallica, DragonForce... When I'm feeling mellow it's Skynyrd, Blackfoot, Marshall Tucker, Steve Earl's classic "Copperhead Road" album... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeplokd Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'm liking alot of you guys solely based on your musical choices. Some metal - Metallica, Motorhead... some "Classic Rock"/Southern Rock... the Irish "Punk" stuff ROCKS! Even the "Hair Metal" - music of my youth. I've got my stereo from college (sans 5-disc CD changer) mounted high in the corner of the shop. I grew up with ADHD and need something going in the background to drown out my INNER voices. Well, the music and my 2 shop dogs that wander in and out from time to time. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bipolarandy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 In the shop I dont have music, But hopefully that will change soon. I want to get one of these neat gizmos so I can stream Internet radio into my shop and right into head phones with out being connected to a audio cable or having to blast it thru speakers. Portable Internet Radio In the house I normally listen to Di.fm , its a free Internet Radio station that streams a full range of Electronic dance music. I normally listen to the Trance channel DI.fm : Trance playlist which features weekly show from some of the top artists around the world like Armin van Burren, Markus Shultz, And Testo . Its good stuff, if you've never heard trance, check it out. -Andrei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug C Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I have earplugs in so all I hear is the echo of my thoughts bouncing around that empty skull of mine. Plan on running power to the forge this fall. Then we'll have music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Leppo Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Yea, I wear earmuffs. Theres always music playing in my head from years of following Jam Bands and listening to bootlegs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awalker Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Wow, I didn't realize there were so many people here who listened to scots/gaelic style music. I play in a bagpipe band and have lisatened to that kind of music all my life. Some of the favorites in our house are The Wicked Tinkers and Bad Haggis, as well as the cheiftans and The Boys of the Lough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-hr Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I've been hooked by The Gourds for the last 6 months or so, reviewed as 'Redneck party music for the well read, yet unwashed'. Got tickets for a show tomorrow in Bend, OR, 150 miles up the road, can't wait.. I also listen to a lot of James McMurtry. 'Can't make it here anymore' is a real good tune about the de-industrialization of America. Worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Zietman Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I mostly sing to myself, anything from Collie Buddz to Gaelic Storm, mostly happy Celtic-irish-scottish stuff to keep away the bad vibes. When I'm happy at the forge, I work much much better. be merry, archie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FieryFurnace Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Well, I don't have much use for any new stuff. I like the old British folk tunes from people like the Waterson's and Barry Dransfield. I also enjoy the pipes, (if I'm in a fightin' mood:D) Bluegrass comes now and again, but confined mostly to the older "clawhammer" sound. I don't listen to any in the forge as I dont even have electricity there. In the forge I sing it meself. Inside and out places me, my little brother, and my sister do three part harmony.

philip in china Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 As I get old I get worse and worse tempered and I think music in the shop would just make me worse than ever. So I just don't have anything except the sound of the work and me muttering to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old South Creations Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I'm a professional musian so I enjoy listening to all types...from classical to pop and almost everything in between. My favorites for forging are the "O Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack and CD's from the band 'Seven Nations' (they are a celtic rock band...very cool!)
