Music to work to

Whats on your player while you build? Mine runs the gambit of genres but 90% is heavy metal of somesort like Living Sacrifice, Famine, Advent, Demon Hunter, Becoming the Archetype and the other 10% is a bunch of everything from Johnny Cash to Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix.

I canā€™t work with music on,I prefer silence or sports talk radio,or a ball game

Jazz, jazz, and jazz of all types. We have a full-time jazz radio station here in Denver and that is usually what I have on. Some of it is quiet and restful, others are likely to get me jumping around the room!

I occasionally like to listen to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

Okay, Iā€™m an old timer and my tastes show it. I just listen to radio so I will not have to keep recharging my music player (I do have one, but only use it in places where I donā€™t have a radio).

We are fortunate in this area to have a good public radio station that plays virtually all classical. They used to have a three hour morning program that played folk and ethnic music, but that show ended a decades long run awhile ago, so my modeling music now is all classical. But, then, I like to model old subjects, too- sailing ships, biplanes, antique cars :slight_smile:

Ditto on the Classical Music. We have a good PBS station too that plays Classical 6AM to 6PM and Jazz 6 PM to 6AM. At 6PM my Classical CDā€™s come out. Also listen to 40ā€™s Big Bands too.

Rushā€¦The band. Not the blowhard.

Cardinals baseball, or Tennessee Volunteer football. Other than that; rockabilly, big band, 80ā€™s rock, bluegrass.

Glenn

Tab Benoit ā€œShelter Meā€ the theme from ā€œSons of Gunsā€. Mood Blues, Pink Floyd, other stuff from the 60ā€™s & 70ā€™s

I usually have a TV on the Military channel and listen to the shows. Iā€™m a bass player in a rock cover band so modeling is my break from musicā€¦itā€™s tv or silenceā€¦lol.

I usually have the TV on in the background. Itā€™s amazing how different a movie can be when you are actually watching it. There have been several movies that I have listened to while modeling that surprised me when I actually saw the movie. Valkyrie will probably be one of those, as I watched it a couple of weeks ago while working on my P-40. Some day, I will be able to sit down and watch that movie.

When in the basement shop, silence is deafening for me but my mind wanders when talk - TV or radio - is on. My daughter bought me an XM radio for Christmas several years ago and I rigged an antenna by a south facing window and I have either (1 Classical, (2 Escape, (3 Watercolors or (4 Spa playing. Itā€™s pleasant background ā€˜noiseā€™ for me ā€“ I can hear but donā€™t have to listen (if that makes sense).

Baseball games for me lately. It seems like evenings is when I get to the bench, right during EST baseball hours. Iā€™m a Reds fan, naturally. (Iā€™m in a band also, Len. I know what you mean ā€¦)

Hey Ordie, those Reds need to lose a few games so my Cards can catch up[;)]! Your guys are playing some great baseball.

Glenn

Classic rock and blues. I either stream it from iHeart, or listen to the music on my phone. The only reason I bought an iPhone was for the music (and Ihad an upgrade due so it didnt cost a kidney). I have maybe 4 apps and 500 or so songs. Lol

I need silence. Funny because I like music, but when Iā€™m at work or at the bench, nuttin.

I can only work on a model at night after everyone has gone to bed so I listen to Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM radio. I like listening to wierd and wacky subjects when Iā€™m huddled over my desk.

Classic Rock, Police Scanner, Shortwave Broadcasts, Podcasts, and Old Time Radio Shows.

LOL! Usually all we can see this time of year are Cardinal tail feathers! It could be our turn this year, though. Not much offense, but oh my, the pitching has been off-the-chart this season - the top of the chart, that is [:D].

Crank up CCR, Led Zeppelin, Badfinger and some mellow Byrds.

Same here.
