Yah, I always wondered about that "Classic Rock" misnomer myself. Does that mean Mozart, Haydn or Beethoven with a Stratocaster, LOL?

Harder stuff like Underoath, Chasing Victory, Inhale/Exhale, etc. to Country, like Brooks and Dunn, Dirks Bently, Kenny Chesney, etc. I'm also a sucker for 80's hits from artists like The Cure, Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel, etc.

I have a California Basement (garage) layout, so I'm usually listening to birds chirping, dogs barking or the neighbors having one of their usual drunken fights. Sometimes I get really ticked and bring out the old boom-box and play Wagner at full bore. At least it drowns out the neighbors for a while, LOL.
I listen to that little man inside my head...my own thoughts.
I usually have my scanner on and listen to the real railroad radio chatter at Buckeye Yard and around the Columbus, Ohio area.

Yeah...forgot Big Bad Voodoo Daddy too...:)
I don't always listen to R & B or Jazz..Pink Floyd or Zep are rock favorites of mine when I'm toolin' out in the garage as well...interesting answers from all...

Actually nothing except the phone ringing if my wife is out.

I'm with selector, but sometimes I run diesels, too. Unless I'm blocking the track or working very close to it, I actually have them running in a loop. Having to take a break when a train comes by is kind of realistic, too, right?
When I hear rap coming from a teenage noise box, though, that's when I power up the Hudson.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Actually, I have two 400 disc CD players lashed togther and can play my entire rock/pop music collection on shuffle. I think it takes a few weeks to get through the whole catalogue.
I can also select genres, so sometimes it's The Clash, Pistols, Gen X, Gang of Four, Pretenders et al.
Sometimes it's the Stones, Cream, Tom Petty. Other times AC/DC, Aerosmith, Zeppelin.
There's a third CD player devoted to jazz and classical so sometimes it's Chet Baker, Stan Getz, John Coltrane and Miles Davis.
On Saturday afternoon, though, it's The Discovery Channel and Mythbusters all day. Haven't seen every episode, but I've heard 'em all!

My favorite listening is Blue grass Doc Watson etc.........
Makes me creative, me thinks.
Somehow it reminds me of trains.

Amen to that! I pop in a DVD of the latest Model railroad release liked the DCC from start to finish... just got my new one last night....
I used to listen to tunes, but with this wall mounted flip screen I can see Redford TV's Trains and locomotives on 'Air' and work on the railroad at the same time!
Phish, Grateful Dead, Sublime, Led Zepplin. I love lead guitar!!

Have fun with your trains
Well, I had some time today to work on flats out in the garage and I kicked the 'ol stereo on and fired up some Royal Crown Review and Billie Holiday.
I got to thinking, what does everyone else listen to (if anything) while they're working on their empires?
