What do you listen to?

Hmm..what do programmers listen to really?

I aint a programmer, just wondering if you guys enjoy the same stuff that would someday make me deaf :D

Been listening to this since I was in high school.

Anyway, here's my list:

Prototype
Sentenced
In Flames
Helloween
Hammerfall
Overkill (esp. their old stuff)
Metallica (upto "Metallica"- their other newer CDs bore me to death)
Sonata Artica
Nevermore
Nightwish (a bit slow tho)
Steel Prophet

etc etc

Also
Blackmore's Night (very good easy listening)
Acher Tasmin (hmm...how did I end up listening to her??)

i usually listen to alot of metal, but that requires some concentration to listen to..but ill list everything anyway.

metallica (fav band)
ozzy (solo)
sabbath
black label society
killswitch engage
queensryche
iron maiden
pantera
slayer
bob marley

and a bunch fo others too lazy to list

I don't like In Flames. I have a couple friends who do, but I hate their stuff. The older Metallica stuff is good (I couldn't stand to finish listening to the new CD... got through 2 1/2 tracks). Sonata Artica is quite decent...here's my list:

i liked whoracle better, but jester race is also excellent.

i liked the new met album. as an album by itself, it was pretty good. as a met album, it was decent. i think it was just a 'breaking in' album, next album should be much better

Wow, you all listen to some pretty crappy bands, with the exception of RaTM and Beastie Boys. Linkin Park is ok. The rest are just horrible.

Yes. I like Neon Knights, too.

I don't think they're still around... I think they finally broke up for good a 6 or 7 years ago.

Jeez, why does everybody like Punk? It's soo freaking annoying.

Ethic people like punk music, well real punk music v. fake punk crap (eg. Blink 182, Simple Plan) because its good and its something different then the crap that gets shoved down peoples throat by the music industry. I don't understand all the metal bands on peoples list but oh well.

Brief Playlist (ok it turned out not so brief) :
Alkaline Trio (fav.) , AFI (old stuff, new cd sucks) , Ataris , BNL , Catch 22 , Counting Crows , Carbon Leaf , Everclear (only the first 2 cds, the rest not as good) , Fenix Tx , Foo Fighters (best concert I've ever been to) , Fuel Goldfinger , Incubus , Less Than Jake Linkin Park , Nofx , Rage (however Audioslave SUCKS) , Reel Big Fish , Rufio Saves the day , Save Ferris , Smashing Pumpkins , Taking Back Sunday , The Juliana Theory , Movieline , Thursday , Virginia Coaltion

Rammstein

If you like them, try "In Extremo", "Subway to Sally" or "E Nomine" once in a while. Pretty good. Make sure your parents don't understand german, it's a bit on the explicit side of lyrics in some songs *g*

ATM its:

Radiohead
The Cure
Interpol
The Smiths
Ladytron
The Faint
Royksopp
Depeche Mode

I listen to a large variety of music.

My favorites include:

Its Nobuo Uematsu to my knowledge. Spell it right!
hehe yeah he's cool, composer of Final Fantasy series game music. Cool stuff.

I mainly listen to underground stuff, trance n rave etc, and I forget the dj names. haha. But Trance Control sounds nice. Also into instrumental. Basically anything with singing ruins it for me. haha, weird.

>>> Hmm..what do programmers listen to really?

Usually the sound of my wife making "can't you leave that damn computer alone for five minutes and do something useful like cut the grass" noises.

queens of the stoneage
system of a down
radiohead
my dying bride
muse

Also:

Vanessa Mae
Bond
Joe Satriani
Marty Friedman
Jason Becker

Right now, Phish.

Lately, been listening to a lot of the new Radiohead, QotSA, Floyd, Incubus, and Bad Religion.

Mostly classical, particularly french Impressionism (faure, ravel, debussy, etc..) At the very moment though, i'm listening to Rachmanninov's 2nd Concerto, 1st movement

I like
Salsa, Bachata, Merengue(not a huge fan) Willy Chirino, Jose Jose, Juan Gabriel, grupo niche etc etc

Classical
Bach, Beethoven etc etc

Rock(80's stuff alot too)
ben l jordan, portishead etc etc, light stuff mainly, some metal like Rammstein

Rap(older stuff)
Nas, tribe called quest, the guru(gangstarr) etc

Techno
Paul Okenfield etc

I don't like
Country

I basically can listen to everything except Country, I'm not bound to one particular type of music though. I need to listen to everything or I'll go nuts, considering that I'm always on the computer and always listening to music heh.

I'm only gonna displaying ones with more than 3 songs each:

-----------------------------------
Blink 182
Creed
Foo Fighters
Gob
Good Charlotte
Hoobastank
Incubus
Jason Mraz
Jimmy Eat World
Linkin Park
Lorie
Matchbox 20
New Found Glory
Nickelback
Puddle of Mudd
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Simple Plan
Sum 41
Treble Charger
Vanessa Carlton
-----------------------------------

Most of my songs are punk/rock when I was around 13. Now since I play guitar I like more "clean" songs like Jason Marz and Matchbox 20 and Vanessa Carlton. But Linkin Park rules all the time!!! w00t! I also have random cool pop songs like "Lillix - Its About Time" and Christina Aguilera stuff and this great French pop artist: Lorie. Download a few of hers, they got nice beat and are better than Britney Spears .

Sometimes, I also listen to techno/dance trance internet radio stations from Europe. They're always new beats and songs there so I don't get bored when programming.:D

good call... people always overlook game soundtracks... there's some really kickass stuff in there...

Oh yeah right now im listening to track 7 of the Tribes 1 cd

50 cent is a freaking crackhead that doesn't deserve any of the
recognition he gets. Ooh, woopity dooh, he got shot 9 times, we
should all buy "his" music. I doubt that story is even true; yeah,
he got shot 9 times by the same person who stabbed Vanilla
Ice 5 times. I'm so frickin' sick and tired of seeing pictures of him
in a bullet-proof vest. I wouldn't be surprised if, like Vanilla Ice,
this whole shooting-story is revealed to be nothing more than a
marketing gimic. But who cares? Even if he was shot, it doesn't
change the fact that "his" music sucks.

He's such a dork.
