Do you listen to music when you code?  Which

I’m listening to music most of the time when I code (server side or gaming). And I love listening to my Iriver flash player. That’s so cool with OGG support and FM radio. Anyway, here is the music I listen to:

  • Rush (my favorite)
  • Genesis
  • Yes
  • Bjork
  • U2
  • Depeche Mode
  • The Black Eyed Peas
  • Led Zeplin
  • Peter Gabriel
  • The Prodigy

one of my favorites, too…
…your nick is taken from the signals album ;D

You’re right! :smiley:

It’s Canadian band! Are you from Canada? Me yes.

When I was looking for a nick name, I wasn’t inspired at all and then I tought about this rush song and just found that this name sounds good for the kind of games I like to develop.

Do you like Genesis too?

Ho! and I forgot to mention Jane’s Addiction. Their last album is excellent! Try it. This group has been inspired a lot by rush.

I’ve only heard one Rush song… was pretty good song too. I can’t remember the title… I think it was “One Little Victory.” Either way I heard it off a Need for Speed game

Some good recommendations in this thread! :slight_smile:

My code music is mostly techno/electronica like Crystal Method, Prodigy, Adam F, Shpongle (weird and beautiful stuff!), Sven Väth (his old stuff), Hallucinogen, Covenant (vocals), Jarre, Jan Hammer (remember Miami Vice?), mixed trance (Lange, Sasha, Corsten etc.)

There are some decent rock/pop as well like K’s Choice (some of their albums are excellent), Kent (Sweden’s best band), Coldplay, Abba, Erasure, Def Leppard, Lighthouse family, The Knife (Sweden’s second best band), Depeche, Lene Marlin

K.I.L.E.R, my girlfriend does the same on occasion, very amusing :slight_smile:

My tastes seem to mirror ChrisM’s! Almost all of that is what I listen to :slight_smile: The rest I’ll have to try :slight_smile:

*not sure I should admit this, oh well ;D

Dan.

Well, you already admitted you really like Bon Jovi ;D

Just a note, i used to be on here alot, then went to other interests, then came back because i just got back into java and stuff, so i would like to say hi to everyone who knows me, and hi to those who dont :slight_smile:

and i do indeed listen to music,

bands like

led zeppelin
black sabbath/ozzy
van halen
acdc
joe satriani
steve vai

and other stuff that is like that.

interesting to see that 'cause I’ve been listening to a lot of Steve Vai/Joe Satriani/Frank Zappa recently…

Molvania is grate!!!

I didn’t even notice the reply to my post so long ago.

Eh, I’m not all that old - only 25 yrs. I was probably 10 years old when a lot of thos bands were at their height. I just like the old stuff.

'Course I do listen to newer things, I just tend to be more skeptical of things which haven’t been subject to the test of time, you might say.

Newer stuff…
Nelly Furtado
Goldfrapp
Modest Mouse has piqued my interest

And yes, I did follow Bruce Dickinson’s solo career. You might say Maiden is my favorite band, I suppose. I have followed the careers of many of the band member’s other work, e.g.:
Blaze Bailey has a band now called “Blaze” - really good stuff

Adrian Smith used to have a band called “Psycho Motel” - I’ve got their stuff
Bruce used to be in a band called “Samson” I’ve got most of their stuff. I’ve also got this great version of the song “Elected” with Bruce Dickinson and Mr. Bean. Quite funny.

(here comes a shameless plug)
In addition to their summer Europe tour, Maiden are playing several of the shows of the US Ozzfest tour this summer - so I’m looking forward to seeing Maiden, Ozzy and Black Sabbath all in the same concert.

I’m considering going to the San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix shows myself - so if there are any Maiden fans here in those cities that are planning on going to any of those concerts, send me an IM, and we’ll hookup.

kul_th_las: Audioslave forever!!
