What music do you listen to while modelbuilding?

[Bill Hime]

This is such a great post, even though it's been up for awhile.
I listen/watch ship building/history YouTubes when working on a build. I listen to Mozart, The Hu and The Doors, when I'm writing. I write historical fiction. I'm going to try listening to Audible Patrick O'Brien series today.

Hi Bill,
O Brien books are great, but have read or listened to Dudley Pope's Ramage series; great stories and not a soused hogs face in sight!

Cheers JJ..

I discovered that our digital public library has Patrick O’Brian’s Master and Commander series in audio book format. I’ve been listening to the escapades of Jack Aubrey and friends. The only problem is I get engrossed and forget what I’m doing…

I enjoy classic rock, 70's & 80's.

Well times have changed.... use to be Pink Floyd. Now I'm developing a taste for slow instrumental electric dirty delta swamp blues.
Slow pace of twisting, stretching and torturing guitar strings....
It's hard to line up planks when your face is scrunching up while a string begging for mercy......

 

[Wolle]

I like listening to Nickelback or Linda Perry

WOW! I couldn't imagine Pink Floyd would be used... Well...to my personal taste, Pink Floyd is forever, while I do enjoy others like Australian Pink Floyd, Brit Floyd, The Machine, and other covers.

Fully agree with Jim ..... and in the Netherlands we have The Pink Project ........

The Floyd music will always close to my heart boys….. it’s just….. well…… I guess its time for a little change…..
like the wife dying her hair….. ya know it will come back to what you know and cherish ( in case she reads this )

Yes, I saw all of their youtube clips, and I love it! Unfortunately, they don't do 'Gigs in the Sky' in North America. I would go to see them, for sure.

My eras also. I still listen to music on my reel-to-reel from way back. 80's are OK too but todays music lacks so much in my opinion.

 

[Wolle]

Hello Phil You have a nice old tape recorder there, I like it.

 

[cdnfurball]

Listen to Olde Zeppelin or Floyd and the music would bounce around between different speakers... with todays technology..... what's the problem here ?

When it gets past about 1990, to me (my opinion only) so much of the music just isn't fun anymore so in my truck I listen to the oldies on Sirius and at the house, You Tube. About a mile from where I live we have the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. So far this year we have had Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner tonight, coming up Guns and Roses. Brit Floyd tribute to Pink Floyd. Phish, ZZ Top. Then the 'high brow stuff' like ballet(not my thing!) and the Philadelphia Orcestra which we are going to tomorrow night for the 1812 Oerture complete with a lomg fireworks show

I am a big fan of old music gear, mainly the reel recorders. It seems the quality of those is still excellent, Oh...and the vinyl records, they are darn expensive, still.
