Ask HN: What is your favorite work music?
hey guys,
I'm going on a 72 hour coding binge tomorrow, and I'm just preparing some music for the kickass journey. Can you guys share some of your favorite work songs with me?
To be fair, I'll share this remix with you. I personally think it's kickass, and I'll give you my first born child if you think this song sucks =p [Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart Remix ] (http://fasho.me/music/49)

- cydonian_monk 15y ago72 hours? Sheesh… I miss being young(er). If I pulled that today my playlist would be mostly funeral music, but I wouldn't be the one listening! My favorite work music is anything that I've heard enough that my brain is resonating with it instead of listening for details. My musical staples tend to be Dead Can Dance, the later albums by Savatage, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Tom Petty, just about everything techno, and lots of Bob Marley. Here lately I've been spinning parts of Trent Reznor's "The Social Network" soundtrack a bit more than anything else. I can listen and work to just about anything, so sometimes I just let my entire collection go on random.
- pipedream 15y ago> My favorite work music is anything that I've heard enough that my brain is resonating with it instead of listening for details. Same for me. I have a Grooveshark "work" playlist that I've been adding songs to for the last 2 years or so. Here it is: http://grooveshark.com/#/playlist/Work/57992001 http://grooveshark.com/#/playlist/Work/57992001 I find music that has no lyrics and has a slower tempo to be the least distracting when working. This includes genres such as post-rock, trip-hop, launge, ambiental.

- sigil 15y agoTry Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians."
- atomicdog 15y ago>72 hour coding binge Just listen to some prog epics. Genesis, King Crimson, Rush... you'll get through three, maybe four songs in that timespan.
- poissonpie 15y agoUniko by Kronos Quartet, Kimmo Pohjonen & Samuli Kosminen
- benregn 15y agoI often listen to Sneaker Pimps, Four tet, Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, Röyksopp and Air... I like to mix it up as well (aka. shuffle)!
