Then, after a meeting or two, it felt like a Led Zeppelin to me so I listened to Led Zep for a couple hours. Finished off the day listening to Poe.

If I'm upstairs in the office, it's iTunes on "shuffle", providing about 50% of my CD collection -- Public Enemy, Slayer, Depeche Mode, tons of local/underground bands, Front 242, Gary Numan, David Bowie, Far, Deftones, The Cure, Beastie Boys, and on and on... When working downstairs, I've got Tivo'd epsides of 120 Minutes and Headbangers Ball VH1 Classic that work pretty well. ...tho there is the rare day when I need absolute silence while I track down a random crash bug or obscure memory leak. Sometimes it's easier to talk to myself while I work on those, and I can't hear myself if I have music going at the same time. :) I'll post a "Friday Playlist" on my blog when I have time, or when I need a quick sanity break from coding. :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5603','Nolan Erck'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('5603','Nolan Erck','I\'m a bit of a music junkie (extreme understatement) and almost ALWAYS have music going in the background while I work. \r\n\r\nIf I\'m upstairs in the office, it\'s iTunes on \"shuffle\", providing about 50% of my CD collection -- Public Enemy, Slayer, Depeche Mode, tons of local\/underground bands, Front 242, Gary Numan, David Bowie, Far, Deftones, The Cure, Beastie Boys, and on and on...\r\n\r\nWhen working downstairs, I\'ve got Tivo\'d epsides of 120 Minutes and Headbangers Ball VH1 Classic that work pretty well.\r\n\r\n...tho there is the rare day when I need absolute silence while I track down a random crash bug or obscure memory leak.

I just picked up Korn's Greatest Hits album at lunch today. Playing RIGHT NOW on my QuickMix in Pandora is Three Days Grace's "Animal I Have Become". In general an odd mix of '80s, top 40, and I guess what is called "Nu Metal". I'm very thankful that I didn't read this 5 minutes ago or something from my "Sexyback" station would have been playing on my QuickMix! LOL! :) Did I just admit that?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5599','Jeff Price'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('5599','Jeff Price','Funny you should mention that.

Generally: Anything with big vocals, guitar and drums! Biffy Clyro has been my main choice of late. The Vertigo Of Bliss is their best album IMHO.
