Ask HN: What music helps you GTD?

For some reason, Ryan Adams's "Gold" has helped me focus for years: http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Ryan-Adams/dp/B00005QY5Y I'm also experimenting with the "soothing" tag station on last.fm. Through that I discovered the "Violet Indiana" artist station as well.

  that's an awesome music, but how can you work listening that.

  I mean, working under post-rock doesn't sound like a good idea

  +1 for explosions, trying out the last.fm station right now

Weirdly, hard trance that I know well. I can work to rock or classic, but something like a good Astrix album really gets me working well. If I know the album well I don't think about it, I can focus on the work at hand.
