Hyper Threaded
By the looks of it, some of you must like that hardcore techno stuff. To me it's like sticking a rusty screwdriver in the side of my head! blink.gif

I just listen to whatever is playing on the radio, usually classic rock. music.gif
bishop245
i have all but quit listening to the radio because around here all the music stations think they are talk stations and if that isnt the case then the dj thinks he/she is funny and i would sooner shot myself in the foot rather than listen to their stupidity
LoArmistead
I don't do a whole lot of modding..and I don't listen to music while I'm doing it.
GuJuMaN89
i like my hip-hop
Some_Guy_
I listen to the whine of the Dremel when I'm modding.
MasterRex862
While modding.... Darude - Ecstasy. I listen to it looped over and over; and if I cant think of anything good for modding I must be punished by listening to Gary Neumen's Numa Numa Dance.

Other than that: Country, Black/Death metal, Techno, Some rap ( to play with my powerful subwoofer. )

Maybe if you listen to Cradle Of Filth while modding you can get a picture of satan ( instead of jesus ) on toast!!! Or a nice window mod of hell....
Fried_fry

No, hard techno is too minimal for me. I prefer Hardcore Rave. PLEASE GET YOUR GOD dangED GENRES RIGHT!

Anyway, I like a bit of Neophyte or Evil Activities blasting through my speakers if I'm modding biggrin.gif. Nothing like real hardcore, not this crap that 16 year old punks make in their garages (Rock != Hardcore. Hardcore == Genre of EDM that started in the 80's with New Beat).
robAP
well since im modding or messing with instllations or whatever i'm inside the "nerd zone"...or wonk-mode.
nothing goes better with this than "Devo's Greatest Hits"

but if i want a more modern electronica type ill hit up "TRS-80's shake hands with danger" or any of their earlier selections.
apostolics
talk radio is a must while building riggs. especially coast to coast am late at night. other than that i like u2 , supertones , and gospel
huddy23k
[B][COLOR=blue] I like a bit of Niche (sheffield) is speed garage other than that any thing with a beat try serchin for DJ Cammy celabrate the summer funny as hell tune biggrin.gif
Archerzz
Metallica, and Simon & Garfunkel all the way man
Raven65
Don't like music on I need to concentrate.
Skynet
I think it depends in what kind of a situation im in. If i am trying to fix this one really hard problem i will put on really hardcore music, however if i am doing someting notas hard and relaxing then i will listen to some softer music like coldplay, drum and bass techno, and other techno
Mr Black Cat
Ever hear of Adema? Them and Gorillaz. And possibly some techno.

TRallalallaa!:

bigdaddy25fb

CoolMaster
Funeral for a friend, Poison the Well, Hopesfall, any emo-hardcorish bands out there
Matbudden

Nice hardnrg, you should try downloading something from SKAZI we have the same taste in music, i've made my own remix of psychoboom. If you want to listen to it, just pm me but i hope you have good speakers lolll.
Archerzz
I think this has been said before but it all depends on what I am doing, if I really need to think about something I will put on classical (yes Classical like Bach, and Beethoven) and just lay on the couch and sleep and somehow the problem seems to resolve its self and it just helps me think more clearly.
imm0rt41
I find myself listening to Dropkick Murphys no matter what I am doing tongue.gif
Kamikaze_Badger
Back on topic:

Rammstein makes good modding music as well smile.gif.
bishop245
Ok this topic has been cleaned up somewhat. Now the original question was what kind of music do you listen to while modding, if you have a favorite music to listen to when doing that post a comment if not then dont.

As to all the poor misinformed people who dont know the differences is some genres of music if you want to explain the differences PM or IM them KEEP IT OUT OF THE FORUMS
Dr_Frankenstein
i listen to pretty much everything depends on the time of day/mood but mainly House Funky/sexy/bar grooves and dance.
E Fudd

Some good oldies

Mott The Hoople

/while pulling out your dremel. I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small, never thought about the problems of this planet at all. Global warming, radioactive sites, imperialistic wrongs, and animal rights, YEAh!

How about some real music guys? My faovorite song to listen to while modding is 'Jessica' by the allman brothers.
Verran
I find that techno is the best computing music. Not a lot of lyrics to get caught up in. Yes I know "techo" is actually a "flavor" of electronic music, but I'm just using it generically. Specifically I like drum & bass, jungle, and some occasional trancy stuff. Generally more the "evil beats" style electronic smile.gif But really I'll listen to just about anything... hip hop, metal, punk, grunge, lighter stuff.... just not country and classical. I'm tired of all this pop music calling itself country, and I don't like classical but I can appreciate it.
Skynet
i listen to underoath, thrice, hardcore techno

Underoath is such an awesome band, I forgot to mention them

Oh and Saosin and Circa Survive are some calming music to listen to
martymcfly
while modding, I go for some yes, the who, or paul mccartney. Or 99 luftballons i love that song!
