tbdannyCall it coincidence, but I've recently begun developing a taste for Frank Sinatra as well...
Now there, my friend, is a taste worth developing further. A Class Act all the way, IMO!

Tom View my layout photos! http://s299.photobucket.com/albums/mm310/TWhite-014/Rio%20Grande%20Yuba%20River%20Sub One can NEVER have too many Articulateds!
Oh, maybe one or two (like the aforementioned Sinatra), but not too many more. Love Buffet, the guy just knocks me out! White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean. What more would you want, LOL?
I stream jazz from www.kcck.org. Or I open up my channel in Pandora. Sometimes i put on a cd.
Love Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Miles Davis, Weather Report, David Sanborn, Spyro Gyra, Dave Douglas, Bill Frisell, Al Di Meola, etc.
I need some music on when i work on the rr. NO TV allowed!!!! Get enough of that already.
Good afternoon!
My wife is a graphic designer for Kirkwood Community College, home of KCCK, and has done a lot of projects for them over the years.
Mark in California, THANKS for the CNW tune!
I'll kick-in my half-a-cent's worth of opinion here. I tend to fire up my iTunes collection on the computer. While I don't have a layout yet, I'm steadily building locomotives and rolling stock towards it. Since I'm modeling the CNW and CCP in the '87-'93 time frame, my iTunes also reflects that. What I mean is, it is loaded up with what I was listening to back then: rock, "oldies" which meant 50s-60s then, some limited country bringing back memories of family in Kansas and time spent with them. Practically every song I have has some memory associated with it, it's more than just "I like it."
A shrink would have a field day with me if I ever had to write down/say just WHAT memory/memories go with each and every selection.
At the same time, it also reflects what I would be listening to on the radio...except I've got a larger "play list" at 700+ vs. the 100 or so the radio stations keep playing over and over. Like someone else said, it's 20 minutes of commercials and a song or two. I also can't stand any of the local DJ's... No commercials, no annoying DJs... bliss!
WHEN the layout is built, and the trains are running, the iTunes will make it sound like I'm trackside again, listening to my "tunes" while watchin' trains.
Timetravel, a neat aspect of our hobby!

I also prefer the rock classics. I get my modeling on with the smooth sounds from Sex Pistols, Plasmatics, Ramones, Cramps, and Dead Milkmen. Yes, I like the rock classics, Punk Rock classics that is. Oi! Oi! Oi!
The Dixie D Short Line "Lux Lucet In Tenebris Nihil Igitur Mors Est Ad Nos 2001"
Classical for me.
Usually Beethoven chamber music (piano trios, piano sonatas), but will also listen to the piano concertos and symphonies on occasion.
Also like Brahms and Dvorak. Rossini overtures are good to model by, too.
Nice choices!
I like to throw in Chopin and Rachmaninoff piano pieces as well when in the classical mood. Serene and inspiring.
No one listens to "I've been working on the railroad"?
Actually, I haven't really listened to any music when working on train related stuff.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
I don't listen to music while I'm working on my layout.
I listen to hard rock, metal and punk mostly.My favorite band is AFI (the old stuff is better, and they're hardcore punk is awesome)
When I was 12/13, the BIG song on Chicago AM radio was "Purple People Eater" by Sheb Wooley. It was played constantly over many stations, and yet I can't remember hearing it played since those times. Just goes to show you........................
"It was a one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater, on eyed, one horned flying purple people eater, one eyed, one horned flying purple people eater, sure looks good to meeeeee"

ENJOY !

Mobilman44, when I was 12-13, a local station had a "Saturday night oldies show" where they liked to play that song a lot. They also played "Witchdoctor" by the Alvin and the Chipmunks guy...David something. It's been stuck in my head ever since...and I'm 40.
"Ooh E ooh ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang."

Any 'oldies' radio station will have Purple People Eater. It's a classic novelty song from the 1960s. Back in the early 1990s I listened to an oldies station and they played it several times.
Deftones, System of a Down, old school Metallica, In Flames, Burst, Dir en Grey, and of course the most talented band in the history of the world RAMMSTIEN.

tbdannyI was wondering, do you listen to music
Hi tbdanny,
I betcha you never dreamed of what you were starting with such a simple question. You certainly hit a lot of nerve endings.
Now when I hear some weirdo music (music I don't like) I'll know that there are MR's enjoying it and more power to them.

mobilman44Hi! I prefer the "classic rock" for the most part, but now find what the radio calls "classic rock" is just not all that "classic" - and is more a mix of late '70s and '80s stuff. Classic rock - to this "war baby" - is mid '50s thru early '70s. I also like "classic country", but again the radio's definition doesn't quite match with mine. As an aside, there are tons of classic country & rock songs out there, but the stations here (Houston area) seem to have about 100 song playlist and everything else is verbotten! For what its worth...... Mobilman44

I listen to the Vinyl Cafe
It is a Canadian Roadshow of sorts that the host Stuart Mclean travels the Country and tells stories. The stories have a unique Canadian flare and I am betting even some of you americans would get a kick out of the weekly podcast available on their site. www.vinylcafe.com
