Just a thought, when I get to lock myself away in my workshop for a couple of hours I love to have some music on in the background.

This got me to thinking that most of the guys who are building/restoring SOHC Honda's are most likely of a certain age! and would be aroung the same age as me.

I like to have some Pink Floyd, Tears for Fears, Thin Lizzy,Christy Moore or Yes playing while I build.

What's your taste?

70's rock - Bad Company, Black Sabbath, etc.

Local radio. I like to comment back to the tossers who ring in. Hey, I live alone.

Taste really eclectic. Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Patsy Cline, Clapton, Drifters, Bizet's Carmen, John Lee Hooker, and every once in awhile I will grab one of the lp's from the late 60's or early 70's-kind of shows my age doesn't it? . I find the big band music to be the most relaxing yet inspirational...Larry

Hi Lister,

Local radio can be good but I prefer music.

Hey Momo.

I like big band stuff too, my Dad was a drummer in a big band back in the late 40's early 50's here in Ireland. He couldn't read sheet music but could play almost any tune by ear on our old electric organ. I can remember waking with those youthful hangovers to the sound of "In the mood" and "Standing on the corner watchin all the girls".

THanks for the memories!

Most often I play czech radio stations over the internet.

6000+ tunes from the ipod on random shuffle or internet radio, usually progressive rock, punk, or classic 60's &'70's.
Or NPR on the radio.

Heh, the Stampeders.

That's not obscure at all.

Nobody here has heard of Blackfoot, believe it or not.

LesterPiglet · « **Reply #15 on:** April 13, 2012, 12:19:08 PM »

I know Blackfoot....I think. (runs away to google)

Ah, I remember them doing Wishing Well.

Does not seem that many like Trance on this forum. It appears to mostly be classic rock and some heavy head bangin' stuff.

flybox1 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 13, 2012, 02:50:17 PM »

Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Mastodon....

I like DEADMAU5 Does that count? just don;t get around to listening too much of it so I don;t know all the "names" per say.. I have a lot od DJ friends who've got it, but my thing tends to be more mellow and the last thing I want is to Zone out when I'm working on power tools...the sound just tends to be too repetitive for me... Guess I'm an old Fart I just turned 40 April 5th.
