As you may or may not be able to tell from the # of posts I've had today, I'M FLIPPIN' BOARD... erm, BORED!

My resto has really slowed to a crawl as the tendonitis in my shoulder has limited my ability to do pretty much anything. I've basically taken care of all the light duty work I can, everything else is down to muscle and until my shoulder is healed that's not a very "healthy" option.

So I'm curious- what kinda music do you like to listen to in the garage? I'll vote when I get it posted, but I prefer rock. Mostly modern, but classic is one of my favorites too. Occassionally I'll tune into country.

So let's have it- who listens to what?

CLASSIC ROCK !!

Dark Side Of The Moon...

Guitar music
Rock & Roll
Blues
Frank Zappa (sui generis)
Grateful Dead (also sui generis)
Abba (to confuse the neighbors)

I also brew to music. I brewed a Belgian Saison to the musical stylings of Rush.

Mostly Tom Petty for me.
AC/DC when I really want to get something done.

I change it up with ALL different kinds of music. Yesterday I had a nice bit of Rammstein playing

'80's hair bands Had some good Whitesnake and Cinderella yesterday.

tool

!

Sunday mornings in my garage, wrenching and listening to Breakfast with The Beatles, makes my happy.

don't know why but when i am working in the garage, country seems appropriate....

"i'm a workin' man
my dog just died
my truck (porsche) is broke
and my wife, she lied!"

or something......

then i drink beer. or strong, black coffee.

I listen to TV on the radio.
Cosby show is fine without the pictures.

Last night I had the CDs on shuffle while attacking the rust in my driver floor pan. A mix of Green Day, Metallica, Bif Naked, and Dave Matthews. Gotta spread the love. Though I will sometimes listen to country while tinkering in the garage also.

Dope smokin' acid rock, Linda Ronstadt, Garth Brooks, Brooks & Dunn, Hall & Oates, BEATLES, Gordon Lightfoot, Fleetwood Mac, Bee Gees, Crosby/Stills/Nash .... and a buncha other stuff

rock. From blues stuff (like cream, hendrix, etc) to more classic rock stuff (elo, fleetwood mac, ac/dc, vanhalen, aerosmith) to newer stuff (like tool, mars volta, older AFI, rancid, Phantom planet, ima robot, thursday)

I guess anything somewhat fast paced

cant forget the singing i make when i work too (god dammit, sh*t, why doesnt this fit, who designed this, when did this happen, ouch, etc)

Pig Radio, what else? www.kpig.com, but we get it over the air .............

The Cap'n

LOL, Cap'n

We used to listen to the pig in '02-'03 at work. My buddy dropped one of the jocks a line and dude sent us a bunch of long sleeves and stickers! (I'd look for the sticker now, but I'd never get this post done).

I guarantee I was wearing that shirt when I ripped the engine out of my teener the first time.

Gotta be 60's and early 70's music while working on a '74.

Silence, so that my father-in-law can hear me screaming....

you gotta have a video to go with.
this one is good.

Black Sabbath at 78 speed....

did you see god?

Depends on my mood but I ALWAYS have on hand :

Social Distortion / Mike Ness solo, Tool, Johhny Cash, Pantera, Rammstein, Megaherz, Hendrix BBS sessions, Fu Manchu, Hatebreed, Dvorak, Hepcat, Mushroomhead, Radiohead and Black Label Society, Horton Heat, Conga Kings, Ozomatli.

Yeah I have a stack of cd's in the garage, and a much bigger stack in the house

Varies. A LOT.

Often, I'll listen to an audio book.

Or just put my iPod on "random" by song and see what comes up.

When I was painting, I found myself listening to a lot of Amy Mann. Or English punk from the 70's and 80's.

For demolition work it tends to be metal. Megadeth, Pantera, pre-sellout Metallica.

The other day I was grooving to Primus (drEvil got subjected to that one). Day before that, I was on a John Cash kick.

Often I'll find myself listening to hardcore club music, or some good mashups I found. Benni Benassi, KMFDN are often in the mix.

About the only thing that I won't listen to in the garage is jazz. I use that inside. Too refined for the garage.

Zach

Classic Allman Brothers w/Duane

The Starting Line
ZZ Top
Rush
Van Halen

I could party with any of you folks!

I'm partial to blues and jazz.

Depends on my mood and the work I'm doing. Lots of Miles Davis, Coltrane, Velvet Undergrond, Tom Waits, '70's and 80's punk (Buzzcocks, The Jam, The Clash, Elvis Costello)
bands from Athens,Ga ie; The Dasboard Saviors, Jack Logan, Vic Chesnutt, REM.

Couldn't get through the day without killer tunes!

You can tell whether I have been working in the garage by the size of the stack of CD's I have there. I use a 5 disc changer (OLD SCHOOL) and put it on random.

One of these days I'm gonna rip all my CD's. I also have some rare vinyl that would be awesome to listen to again.

I loves me some Chet Atkins in the garage. Dick Dale too.

I like the fact that the 914-6 makes 2 appearances in that video in under 4 minutes...........

IIRC - it doesn't show up much more during the entire movie.

I listen to Jazz most of the time - I have surround, cable and Internet in the Garage Mahal.....

Early Saturday morning on the Seattle AM station are two car talk shows. Then I change to FM and hear Click & Clack. Just seams right to me to listen to car talk while I'm working on the car.

Top Tracks (classic rock) or Bluesville (blues and rockin' blues) on XM sat radio...

Sweet Rammstein. thats one of the best i can listen to for motivation.

They make disc changers now? Well I feel cheated- I've been changing individual CD's like a jackass! So if having a 5 changer makes you old school, I must be living in the stone age. j/k I've got a 3 disc changer at home, and the stereo in the garage has a single CD player in it tho I don't use it. Whatever's on the radio works for me, since I basically just consider it background noise to keep me focused on what I'm doing. Unless it's a really awesome song and/or band, then I crank it up. Some of my favorites are Shine Down, Buckcherry, Finger 11, AC/DC, Black Sabbath/Ozzy, Rob Zombie...

Mostly Classic rock and Southern rock.

I prefer prog rock and alternative, but lately I've been listening to my 4" angle grinder.

Oh yeah. That or air tools. No use for putting music on if I think I am going to be pulling out the air tools (and putting on hearing protection).

Old School Coutry for me, 60's - 70's mite have to do with that i am old school

myself! George,Waylan,Willie & the Boys. Dave

PS, throw in a little COW BELL please

Preferably baseball games, but ESPN Radio will do in a pinch. Otherwise it is classic rock or '80s New Wave for me.

My wife REALLY hates sports, so "man-cave" (aka garage) time that includes working on my car or racing karts, listening to baseball and enjoying a couple homebrews from the kegerator always rates highly in my book!

Geoff

I love baseball on the radio. It's always easier when I can't see the Braves stinking up the home teams field.

Baseball on the radio is sort of like improv jazz. Slow tempo followed by exciting moments.

Poco,Fleetwod Mac,early Beatles,early British rock,Pure Prarie league, Jefferson Airplane and there is always a Heart disc on the changer(5 disc).Boy am I getting old.

when i paint it has gotta be Mark Knoppler
which has not happened much these days...to damn busy

Thats easy F1, Indy, Touring Car, Cup Racing. Moto GP, AMA and Fast Cars Exposed, High Rev motors are music to me, With a little Judge Judy from time to time.











Judy is my Hot little girlfirend.

ZZ TOP Manic Mechanic

If it came from the 80's

How could you work on your car while listening to Briteny spears??? Sorry don't mean to sound rude, but that is just terrible......rather have no music at all....actually that is pretty good for me, no music at all so I can concentrate....if there is going to be music I want some 80's music and late 70's punk and rock and roll....call me old if you like

Cheers
