So, what are your favorite things to listen to while developing? I find that bands like underoath, as cities burn, inhale exhale, haste the day and a few others really help me concentrate on what I'm doing. Go figure since a lot of people cant stand the screaming... but it helps me  so do you like listening to music while coding? what? ------------------ |

so what programming language do you code in when listening to screaming? i wonder if people prefer different genre's for different languages? ------------------ |

quote: This question has been raised before, but my musical tastes and coding styles have changed since then. I currently listen to a lot of Industrial Rock, non-screaming non-same-3-chords-and-lines-over-and-over-again rock, classical, trance (mainly just Infected Mushroom), and classical Iranian/Persian music. I also play movies minimized and listen to just the audio, as well as listen to podcasts. ------------------ "Oh, bother," said the Borg. "We've assimilated Pooh."

Do I really need to answer this question... Joe Satriani, instrumental Vai, and the baseball game if it is on. Oh yeah, and some other guy named Ken W |

If your REALY consentrating on coding, you don't seem to hear music anyway. ------------------ |

Ohhh… Jars of Clay, Bjorn Lynn, Mozart, sometimes I’ll just turn on XM and listen to the Audio Visions or Watercolors. Other than that I just listen to talk radio (AM) as I work. |

I listen to a variety of music while coding. Randomly between the following: The Heavier groups include: The semi-heavy groups include: The softer groups include: ------------------ |

DEAD SILENCE... except my computer's fan i guess. I get too distracted with music. I start listening too much to it and I loose focus. ------------------ |

Many years ago (90's) I used to program to Marillion's "Misplaced Childhood" on a daily basis. Now I listen to all sorts of stuff. I am now a Pandora fan and mostly stick with these stations I have created: Electronic Music: Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, etc. Some Christian ones too, but they are limited and you keep hearing the same things over and over. Right now I'm listening to a band called Liquid Tension Experiment on my Jam Rock station. Song is called Chewbacca and it just totally rocks if you like guitar jamming. Never heard of them before Pandora. |

Wooow someone listens to Tangerine dream as development motivational music good stuff, just love them groovy textures. As for my responses, I wouldn't really entirely relate them to coding time, often more during modelling, animating, texturing, writing etc... mostly cowpunk for everything else  [This message has been edited by Faith_Warrior (edited June 07, 2007).] |

Punk/Ska: Capdown, RX Bandits, Link 80, Anti-Flag, Millencolin, Zero Down, Frenzal Rhomb and others. Experimental: Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Regina Spektor Others: Thin Lizzy, Alanis Morrisette, Sublime... all depends on mood really. But this is what I listen to right now when coding. ------------------ |

SSquared Member Posts: 654 From: Pacific Northwest Registered: 03-22-2005 |
Faith_Warrior, yep! Tangerine Dream used to be one of my faves. I have over 70 CDs and LPs from them. Their "Poland" and "Livemiles" albums are more of my favorites for coding. BTW, I looked up that Liquid Tension Experiment and found out it is composed of several individual musicians I know from other bands, so although I had never heard of the band, I knew some of the individual members. Although I sometimes code to space music (planeterium, ethereal), I tend to like more upbeat stuff. Helps energize and fire me up! I really enjoy software development and upbeat just goes with the whole excitement I get. |

I used to listen to chirstianrock.net alllll the time! Lately i've just been listening to my own cd's though... Another good station i like, with more variety, radiou.com ------------------ |

This is definitely dependent on how long I've been coding. At work, I usually have to work in silence. When I'm not on the job, though, I'll often listen to Underoath and Demon Hunter while coding. I usually just need something that takes up as much of my excess attention as possible so I don't get distracted. ------------------ |

Something I've noticed is a lot of us like hardcore music. ------------------ |

That's probably a sign that a lot of us are just hardcore. ------------------ |

Metal. Probably the manliest music in the world. Now there is a music that will put some hair on your back. Pure testosterone in audible form. except the 80's shirtless, leather pants, makeup wearing, huge curly hair swinging metal heads. that's just gay. oh, and I do enjoy classical. just got this piece by Smetana. Die Moldau. beautiful. ------------------ |

Die Moldau or "The River" is by far my most favorite piece in Ma Vlast. oh I believe the "80's shirtless" metal you are referring to is called "glam metal" ------------------ [This message has been edited by insanepoet (edited June 10, 2007).] |

I'm kind of weird like that. If the coding is going well, though, I tend to prefer something a little more punk in nature. ------------------ |

Music distracts me when coding... that MacGyver theme is good tho'. Writing, on the other hand... probably distracts me too but I always put some on. |

ArchAngel Member Posts: 3450 From: SV, CA, USA Registered: 01-29-2002 |
the music I listen depends more on my mood then what I'm doing (with exception of working out). the music I listen to is vast. vast indeed. when driving in the car with me, you'll be exposed to classical, blues, oldies, rock, metal, norwegian gypsy rock... ...instrumental, goth, soundtrack, not emo, hip hop, alternative... but I'll more likely listen to instrumental, classical and more background music when coding. gotta keep the concentration. ------------------ |

You leave the leather and hair spray out of this! If the music is good, it doesn't matter how they dress! |

Newsboys, jars of clay, third day, dallas holm and praise, etc. But, have you guys ever noticed that listening to music is easier, when you are doing graphics? I have trouble listening when I'm coding. Does that mean that making graphics is easier on your brain? I wonder. lol ------------------ |
