Well, where else do you find a group this diverse but on these forums?  So far Ive had answers ranging from Mozart to Hardcore Christian Rock, to Lynrd Skynrd to Marilyn Manson.  Is it posible to find two more opposite artist/composers than Marilyn Manson and Mozart?  I think not

I prefer a good movie from my collection or one of my many TV seasons on DVD.  Hogan's Heroes is usually at the top of the selection list.

Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Copland, Gershwin, Borodin, Hayden, Elgar, Dave Brubeck, Grieg, Sibelius, The Chieftans, various Celtic musicians, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Yolanda Kondonassis (harp), Hillary Hahn (violin), Izstak Pearlman (violin), Count Basie, Alison Balsam (trumpet), E. Power Biggs (baroque organ), Lynn Larsen (theatre organ), The Cambridge Singers/John Rutter (choral), etc.  Often I let the local NPR Classical station, KBAQ, program the music for me.

Rock may tend to make one hyper, which is at odds with keeping a steady hand.

I can listen to everything, normally its christen hard rock, which, can rock pretty hard, suprisingly enough! I normally just kick in a Simpsons DVD and listen to them, its hard to watch and model at the same time! I can't listen to anything real hard when modeling, otherwise I get all gittery and can't sit still!

www.DI.fm is a good internet radio station with many stations, it's mostly techno but at the bottom they have quite a few totally unrelated stations.

I listen to almost everything...  For building, I tend to like Miles Davis, Weather Report, Zappa, Primus, Sonic Youth, Focus, Uriah Heep, and Jam bands. (Widespread Panic, Grateful Dead, etc.)  Heavier stuff like Sabbath etc... doesn't do well for my ability to hold really tiny parts!

Usually my Dan Gibson CDs/ Classical CDs  (I'm trying to unwind for heaven's sake!).  But Lynrd Sknyrd (sp), AC/DC, Led Zepplin, Dire Straits and Bob Seger have been known to make appearances at times.

When I listen to music, it's either movie soundtracks (Pirates of the Caribbean 2, baby!) or country on the radio.  Now that you mention it, I've got one or two Big & Rich albums I haven't listened to in a while.  I'll need to dust those off....

I listen to the classic rock (70's and 80's) station on the radio.  It's relaxing because i gre up with that type of music.  Big Smile [:D]  Just showed my age huh?

Hmm, its good to see some other people like the classic rock and such.  My favorite is still more modern music, but theres nothing at all wrong with ACDC, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, you guys are right, the list just keeps going.

When I'm modeling, it's usually with my son for one of our quality time sessions. We try to keep things mellow and just talk about whatever pops up in his 12 year old head. But if Mom and Sis isn't in the ajoining living room, we might open the bay windows to hear the babbling brook, birds and any other wildlife outside (we live in the woods). If he is in the mood for music, the surround sound stays low and he has a choice of radio stations: Dad's that plays 60's & 70's hard rock or Mom's that plays the more modern but mellow stuff like "Behind Blue Eye's" by that lip guy (don't feel like figuring out how to spell it LOL).

Pfft.  Those should not be posted together in the same thread.  LMAO.

Anyway if I listen to music usually its punk, industrial or techno.   Ive also been listen to Marilyn Manson again actually alot lately.  Mechanical Animals is an amazing work of art.  I think Ill update my avatar in their honor.

Concrete Blonde, Ministry, UFO, X, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Lyle Lovette, 1940`s big band swing stuff, AC/DC w/ Bon Scott, old (pre-rehab)Aerosmith--Too many to list, my musical tastes go in several directions.

 

And I`m bored too, waiting for a kit to dry from a soap and water bath so I can begin airbrushing :)

Ok, dont worry, I already know this is random.  The idea for this thread was generated by the type of boredom only made posible while waiting large amounts of time for glues/resins/paints to dry on a diorama.  So, anyways I was just wondering whether or not anybody else listens to music while modeling/painting and if so what genre or what artist/band?  Personally I think it makes it much more interesting to have something to listen to while meticulously gluing together tiny pieces for hours.  I'll start.  Personally, I listen to hardcore/screamo or indie rock/punk.  Bands, hmm....Silverstein, Escape the Fate, Armor For Sleep, All Time Low, A Change of Pace, Atreyu...All the stuff you probably classified as crazy headbanger screaming music that sounds like dying pheasants.  Sorry you asked, eh?  Oh wait, you didn't ask, did you....My bad....Anyways just post any thought that relate to music and modeling.
