ironrosefarms Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Primarily contemporary Christian, but that is because of what is available on our local radio... however I love bluegrass and old country a good bit of 50's and early 60's rock and roll, I listen occasionally to classic orchestra's including Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and the like and modern orchestra's like that from movies such as Lord of the Rings. If you was to look into my CD collection or in my MP3 you would also find Christian Hip Hop, Christian Country, Christian heavy metal... So long as it isn't vulgar I very well might have it or enjoy it. My music taste used to be very narrow until I started running sound at our church about 10 years ago. I never knew what kind of music might come either from Southern Gospel for the older folks or the next day some Heavy metal scream band for the youth. I came to open wide up to learn what each style of music should sound like and found that there is not much I really can't stand to hear. I have found that forging to the sound track of any of the three Lord of the Rings movies is quite inspiring, especially for bigger projects. I have to be careful of what music might be on if I am doing delicate work though as it really does effect my mood and my results.

divermike Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Classic rock and easy listening, need a better sound system though, all the banging and blower noise kinda wipes the cheap speakers out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDJ Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 If I am listening to anything I usually listen to Air 1, available nation wide in the US, has a good mix of contemporary christian such as skillet. Once in a while if my mood is just right I will switch on some OLD southern gospel, but that usually doesn't last very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironman1 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 For me there is only one kind of music for forging, METAL! Angra Kamelot Nightwish Disturbed Dragonforce Dream Theater Edguy Epica Firewind Nocturnal Rites Rammstein Rhapsody Sonata Arctica and of course the namesake of our chosen media Iron Maiden. Life is short, Love what you do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Clapton, the 'Zep and a little Steppenwolf for good measure and a smidge of the Doors doesn't hurt either.

daniel j. Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 well,that is somehow a good question.because i work alone(i think a lot of guys do the same)so music is a big factor or influence of how i feel.my favourite band is tool,especially the 10 000 days album,wich helps my mind goe on a journey without the lacking of concentration.so i am grown up with guitars and thats the reason i like a lot of rockmusic like nickelback but its importand the songs have good melodies that make me sing.but not only rock music every music is fine as long i like the melody. i prefer listening music while i do finishing jobs or other work without my running machines because they are to loud which means my stereo is outmuscled. for me music is an importand aspect of my art.

Canska Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I've got a big music collection, and often load the mp3 player up with a random assortment, resulting in everything from the 60's to present, mambo and latin music, folk, etc. Its often funny when something like CCR is followed up by Rammstein or techno. But I'll confess, my favorite smithing music is the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. Maybe I'm a dork (ok, I am), but that's my favorite soundtrack of all, and its great background while working. The Rambo II soundtrack is also suprisingly good. Yep, I grew up in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
