"le plaisir delicieux et toujours nouveau d'une occupation inutile"
Although I have large CD and album collections, I tend to use Rhapsody while I am at the bench. I have numerous playlists that range from classical, country, big band, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, etc rock, new age and jazz. I'll listen to about any kind of music except hiphop or rap.... or any autotune stuff. Being a guitarist and having played in a number of bands, I lean towards guitar music the most.

I have a 120GB iPod Classic that has about 7700 songs on it, and the genres run the gamut from Hank, Sr., to Billy Joel, to Evinescence, to Mozart, to bluegrass, to bagpipes, to marches, and to everything else except hip-hop & rap. I put it on random play, so I never know what's coming up next.

Doc Watson, Ma Bell and the Carter Family, Lonesome Too, Seldom Scene, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Earl Scruggs. Oh yeah, and some Frank Zappa when I'm in that mood. Or some Frank Sinatra when I'm in that mood. Some have suggested medications for my moods. I just turn up the volume or put my headphones on.
In our world nothing is weird Tanker.....it's great too hear from all of you on the different types of music,audio books,sports radio and talk radio you listen to while at the workbench
falconmod No music for me. I just upgraded from a 21 inch tv to a 40 inch LED tv. So it's WWII movies Sci-Fi, or satellite. John

Like some have mentioned here I'm all over the map. I've got about 250 gigs of classic rock, some country and some of the more hard rock selections so it's whatever strikes me at this time I guess. I tend to build at around 3:30-6 a.m. though so I can't just crank it up. lol

I recently picked up a Checkflight P-51 CD for $1 from the local Goodwill.........
already have the A6M5 Zero and Bf-109G CDs.
Nothing like the sound of a 1,000 + HP engine rattling the windows in the workshop.
For me ...it's the mid 70s -- 80s hard rock and the sound of a hi comp long derasoin big block chevy ....u know. So hi that it doesn't want to start right away. ..now that music to my ears
Sports. I tend to tune it out to some extent but every once in while (when there is bunch of cheering for example) I tune back and get a score update. If there isn't any sports on, then XM radio tuned to Deep Tracks or Classic Rock.
patrick206 I just play my favorite CD, over and over. "Broderick Crawford sings hits from Peter Pan." Soothing. Patrick

GAF Depends on what I'm working on. Theme music for the model, I suppose. Say I'm working on a WWII Corsair or Hellcat, then it's the soundtrack from "Victory at Sea". ...... Gary

Troubled times indeed, but I just think back to the words Lale Andersen sang so long ago:
" auf jeden Dezember folgt wieder ein Mai "
and those sung more recently by Su Kramer in the German production of Hair:
" Wenn der Mond im 7. Hause steht
und Jupiter auf Mars zugeht
herrscht Frieden unter den Planeten
lenkt Liebe ihre Bahn
Genau ab dann regiert die Erde der Wassermann
regiert sie der Wassermann
der Wassermann, der Wassermann!"
Hi;
I usually do have music at work .I start with Good guitar music ( acoustic ) and then whatever .I like Metallica and KraftWerk , as well as anything Santana.
I play lots of new age sound discs, Ocean and that sort . Birds for planes and whatever .
I have an EnviroSphere that my first wife bought and I put "Salt Air " wax pellets in it and have ocean wave and rain sounds going a lot . It's very relaxing while I work
I know , Weird right ? That's okay -it really comes down to " Whatever Melts Your Butter , doesn't it ? Tanker - Builder
Oldies and classic rock.
sometimes talk radio late at night, but coast to coast am is not that great any longer, so I often search YouTube for interesting topics and download them to the iPad to listen to during late night workbench hours lol
Try the Heinlien's original story of Starship Troopers or his Sixth Column.
GAF, interested in a copy of Victory at Sea Part 2?
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

I've been collecting classical CDs ever since the CD was introduced (making my classical LP collection obsolescent), so that's the kind of thing I usually listen to when I'm working on a ship model.
I'm also a huge fan of audiobooks for that purpose. A year or so I discovered a remarkable website: www.naxosaudiobooks.com . That company offers an incredible range of titles in the form of CDs and digital downloads (cheaper and no wait for them to ship). Note that some of the books are abridged, and some aren't. (I draw the line at the unabridged War and Peace - or Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.)
One time I listened to Joseph Conrad's Typhoon while working on a model on a nice summer evening. I had to open the workshop window to assure myself that a typhoon wasn't blowing outside.
Highly recommended.
Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

Depends on what I'm working on. Theme music for the model, I suppose. Say I'm working on a WWII Corsair or Hellcat, then it's the soundtrack from "Victory at Sea". Or if I'm working on Star Trek's USS Enterprise, then it's the soundtrack from the TV or movies. I'm working on a WWII WACO glider right now, so it's the soundtrack from "Band of Brothers" and "Saving Private Ryan".
Ha! More like when I find a fingerprint in my finish I shout, shout, let it all out!
