What music do you listen to while working? I know there have been threads on music but I want to know what what you listen to while working.

I like music with nice rhythmic beats. It keeps me moving at a consistant pace.

I go in trends with my music, sometimes rock/jam bands/never pop or country. Pink Floyd is always a stand by for me when I dont know what to listen to

I catch up on NPR podcasts mostly, but I have a mishmash of a playlist I listen to when I run out of them that's got everything from Bob Marley to Tori Amos, to Jimmy Hendrix to Coldplay and Sting.

I am a satellite radio junkie. Sometimes it is folk music, sometime reggae, sometimes NPR, it just depends on what kind of mood I am in and what kind of day I am having. Nothing like finding any kind of music or news that you like...without commercials.

Haven't used them in a while, but I recall enjoying Jango (http://www.jango.com/) and Last FM (http://www.last.fm/) when I got tired of Pandora.

Right now I've been listening to all of the shows from this years Phish tour pretty much non-stop (and they are awesome by the way, looking forward to the Chicago show), but when I get in the mood for something else I've been listening to Fugazi and government issue. I've been meaning to put together an old computer for the garage so I can tap into my MP3 collection, but I only have one circuit in my garage at the moment, and don't want to give some of that power to a CRT and PC, no matter how low powered it is. Plus, another computer just means more hassles and troubleshooting when I would rather be blowing glass.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium (both disks), By The Way, Californication, Freakey Styley, Blood Sugar Sex Magik are all good

Led Zeppelin - anything

107.7 FM The End - commercials suck, but the music variety is great

Turkish Groove & North African Groove, both from Putomayo Records - middle eastern dance music - very cool, good beat, new melodies, excellent and well worth a listen

Nothing but audiobooks for me... regular fiction, sci-fi, crime/thriller. I can't remember the last time I listened to music. I often finish up the work that I needed to do for the day, but keep working a bit longer to find out what happens next. :)

I listen to Radio National Australia most of the time, Arts, Politics, Current Affairs, Science etc ...
Usually for music it's anything that catches my fancy, from lounge jazz to heavy metal to classical to trance etc.
atm I'm listening to Gurrumul Yunupingu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bawDFY8G-o4), he sings in Yolngu, the language of the far north of Australia.
