I prefer House, Dance and Trance heard from my mp3-player. Encapsulates me from everything around...

Mostly seventh wonder, after that it will be symphony x or dream theater. It should be progressive metal though.

Usually silence. Nothing but sweet silence. In a house with two kids, a wife, a dog, two TVs, and the countless beeps, rings, and noise of a full modern house, the utter silence of my man cave is blissful.

Or Choral music.

So yea, I'm weird I guess.

I realy don't listen to music, I always have a war movie on in the DVD player. I listen to it and on occassion I look up to see what is going on.
Tom

I do the same as Thomas.I have a portable DVD on my bench and watch any movie pertaining to what I'm building.If not,I listen to satellite radio.

XM Radio is hooked up in my work shop and it's tuned to '70's,'80's and classic rock stations.

For me, power metal or metal in general does the trick. For military interest that obviously means Sabaton, but Hammerfall, Powerwolf or Alestorm also work nicely. Desert and Myrath are a bit more obscure. Sometimes, good music scores from video games work too (assassins creed or TES Skyrim make for some epic noise). For Soviet builds I have some things from the Red Army choir

for me its either punk or metal. or a film though i find myself distracted more watching a film and building models tends to be a very slow process while the films on...

ive tried watching the rugby while building but im really competitive when watching like the other week i was watching warrington vs dragons started ranting at the screen and then jumped up when warrington scored of course the 1/72 centurion i was re building jumped out of my hands glue very fresh fell on the floor and split open so had to start again but then pick cat hairs off from the glue and scrape all away ha. learnt my lesson on that part

Usualy it's the local classic rock station, but latey they play the same stuff every day and it gets to be burnout time for that. Beatles/Stones/Springstein/Eagles/Simon and Garfunkul on the c.d. player and lately, my brother turned me on to, Mostly Autum, progressive rock from across the pond. Freaking outragous band and can't hear enough of them. Seems I'm on a one man mission to turn people on to them here in the U.S. Can't buy the c.d's here except on e-bay. Have 6 of the albums and want the rest. Very good music.

I kind of wouldn't like to go listing stuff, since I know I'll have a terribly hard time keeping it compact enough, but as it seems to be popular in this thread, I'll try. In no particular order:
Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, Metallica, Megadeth, Iced Earth, Death, Nile, Atheist, Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend (that guy's a genius!), John Williams, Jesper Kyd, Jimi Hendrix, Dio, Deathchain, Fatboy Slim, Kyuss, Reverend Bizarre, Mastodon, Michael Jackson, Nick Cave, Bob Marley, Rage Against The Machine, Rush, Testament, Exodus, Tool, Vangelis, Vektor (one of the best new thrash metal bands I've heard, insane stuff!), The White Stripes, Slayer, Voivod, Wolfmother, etc etc...

Thats alot of music choice.
I only really listen to these bands.
-Hollywood Undead
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui3gG_qN2GQ ) AWESOME!

-Linkin Park ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnarXCtrGvo )

-Fort Minor

-Lyube (an obscure Russian Rock band whose music videos are quite military based- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4MbzbrRVps&NR=1&feature=fvwp )

( yes i'm sad

)
Thanks

Normally, silence. Just the normal house sounds behind me. If I can get music turned on, it is classical. To paraphrase what should be a well known movie quote, "What, aint you never heard of Beethoven?"

It's a sometimes thing and never loud during building. The enduring stuff on my listening list is mostly the Baroque - Bach, Vivaldi, Rameau, the great Buxtehude, Handel, Scarlotti, etc. But I suffer moments of insanity... last week it was Australian bands, a bit back was an overdose of Queen leavened with the Stones and other stuff from the 70's...

What a cool question!

I've converted some vinyl and cd's to my computer and have a few playlists I regularly use - mostly a mix of punk/hardcore and then a mix of other stuff.....for the punk etc stuff: Minor Threat, Agnostic Front, Suicidal Tendencies, Dropkick Murphys, The Clash, Cocksparrer, The Jam, Bad Brains, Warzone, Madball, Darkthrone, Emperor, etc.

for the other stuff - The Pogues, Madness, Eddie and the Hot Rods, 80's music, motwon, rockabilly, mod.new wave, etc.

Like a few of you, I work in silence. But I'm an active part-time musician, so "listening" to music is almost never a passive activity for me, as I'm constantly picking the song apart listening to specific things and mentally playing the bass line.
