Sports radio.
Usually either AM 570 or 710 ESPN Radio (my Los Angeles stations). If a Ducks or Angels game is on I'll listen to AM 830. AM 1150 for the Kings.

ATLANTIC CENTRAL Never have understood the those who "need" noise all the time. I love music, but I hate the "background noise" for every activity that some people seem to require. Sheldon

For me it relaxes me and clears my head so I can concentrate on the job at hand.

I agree. Working on trains and breathing is my idea of multi-tasking.

Whenever I'm working on a model or airbrush painting, I listen to smooth jazz which puts me in a calm, "feel good" mood. Joyce Cooling, Paul Brown, Chuck Loeb, and Larry Carlton are my favorites.
"I like my Pullman Standards & Budds in Stainless Steel flavors, thank you!"
Pretty quiet down there except for the times I've screwed something up and end up talking to myself.

Buddy Rich radio streaming throughn Pandora. For some reason I get a lot more accomplished that way
Older rock. Like Aerosmith, Queen, Guns 'n Roses old, so about 70's, 80's, some 90's. Sometimes older.

Streamlined steam, oh, what a dream!!
My taste in music is similar to Soilwork's, substituting classic rock for metal. But, here in Hooterville, radio reception in my basement is horrible, so if I am listening to music it is via a CD or streaming in on the computer.
What I listen to depends on my mood. Often I work in silence. About as often I have a hockey game, college basketball game, NFL game, or some other sporting event of interest on the tube (pretty much tells everyone what time of year the majority of my railroad work gets done).
For whatever reason, I like working to Louis Armstrong, BB King, Muddy Waters, and Howlin Wolf. I love Diana Krall's early CDs (pre-2006), but they make me want to sit in a dark room with a drink or glass of wine, not work. Miles Davis has that same effect on me.

So true, but then most times I'm talking to myself- just haven't got any answers yet!
Most times at work itself, I have just too many calcs and numbers in my head while running back and forth to make cuts, any distraction will screw me up. That's when "I'll cut it 3 times and it's still too short"

Soilwork...In Flames wow! I'm with you on those for sure! You might like Ravenface too
I also like listening in to railroad radio on the web. Crank up the old iTunes and tune into a scanner somewhere there's a lot of chatter.

"All of the world's problems are the result of the difference between how we think and how the world works."
If there's a ball game on, I'll roll the TV around to have that in the doorway. Like many of the others, 30's-early 60's (not much British Invasion or there after) and country. Local station has good news coverage and a wide variety of music, so they hold the radio slot. Silence also has its place.
Have fun,
Richard
sometimes silence, sometimes metal.

Depends..Some times old country from the 30-60s,golden oldies from the 50/60s or the big bands..I also listen to dixieland,CCR and The Eagles..I use Rhapsody..
Other times it nothing but,golden silence.
Oldies. Real oldies, like 50s and 60s. I like that late Transition Era music. It's what I grew up with. I need some Big Band for when I'm doing Steam Era, but the cable music channels don't have that.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
