Lately I've found that music by the band KISS is great for coding. The songs are energetic enough to keep me focused and awake, but not so deeply rich in composition or lyrical content that I'm going to get distracted.

- parenthesis 5y agoThere is a Kiss album called Hot in the Shade.
- yesenadam 5y agoThis short clip of Lisa Lampanelli roasting Gene Simmons talks about that, and ends with maybe my favourite gag of all time: https://youtu.be/5eG5llG9uoA?t=176 https://youtu.be/5eG5llG9uoA?t=176
- fibonachos 5y agoI have had a similar experience with the band Ministry. High energy, drowns out any background chatter, gets me into a flow state, somehow. I think it is partially because they are not a band I really listen to for pleasure so I don’t know any of the songs particularly well, and there is a high amount of distortion in the vocals so I don’t even feel the need to try and understand. Seems counterintuitive but it works for me.
- cableshaft 5y agoIf you like Ministry, I'm guessing you probably also like Gravity Kills, Prong, KMFDM, and Pitchshifter (amongst others). Kind of similar. Used to listen to them a bunch back in the day. Should probably try giving them another go.
- adamauckland 5y agoMinistry is awesome for coding.
- psyc 5y agoIt’s pleasantly surprising that Ministry is specifically mentioned here! I haven’t always listened to music while working, but when I did, it was almost all Ministry. Very rhythmically mechanical (even for industrial), and driving. I found it great for powering through something I didn’t want to do, or when I was tired. Worked better than caffeine.
- billfruit 5y agoI find that Grateful Dead works for me for this purpose, and they have enough material, one wont run out of it in a long long time.
