What music do you listen to at work?

[Benni88]

I'm lucky that I can listen to music whilst I sit at my desk during work, and a lot of people have music playing while working even if they don't get to choose what it is.

What are you currently listening to?

Me: A bit of Hip-Hop spliced into IDM and Modest Mouse.

 

[BOOM headshot65]

Whatever they play on the intercom. Its against the rules to listen to music at work. And considering this is a grocery store, its all family friendly, 20 year old songs. Afew good ones though.

 

[Fappy]

Sometimes I listen to Dimmu at work just so I can tell my friends I listened to Dimmu at work.

 

[Guffe]

Rock N' Roll and Metal, from youtube now playing Halford - Cyberworld (live version)
There are songs that are good that don't belong to this genre but mainly I listen to these two.
Not DeathMetal (Growling) and not a big fan of too slow Rock either but otherwise pretty much anything in that genre.

 

[Phasmal]

Not working at the moment but when I did I worked in nurseries so the music I had to listen to was mostly nursery rhymes or one of those kid-friendly dance routines CDs.
It's kind of overly cheery but it's still good fun.

 

[MrBenSampson]

Mostly industrial and metal bands. Since I'm working nights in a grocery store, I'm allowed to use my ipod while I work. I don't think I would have survived the christmas season without it. One time I managed to play my ipod over the PA system, and had Aesthetic Perfection blasting throughout the store.

at college I listen to a mix of metal and Jrock. I occasionally have the urge to listen to some classic rock too

 

[Girl With One Eye]

I listen to nothing -_- have to answer the phone and deal with clients coming to my desk.

 

[Spinozaad]

It varies. From hiphop to the likes of Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell, to That Handsome Devil to Massive Attack.

 

[King of Asgaard]

Well, I'm a student, and I wouldn't dare to be caught listening to music during lectures, but while doing homework I listen to a wide variety, ranging from J-Pop to heavy metal to classical to old rock. But nothing hip-hop/rap related, and dubstep is a no-no.

 

[Bestival]

Sadly it's not up to me what we listen to. The radio is always on one of two stations, and they both suck. One only plays the current top 10 over and over and over, the other plays the same 3 hits from the 80s over and over and over.... God damn I fucking hate radio.

I wish I could be in charge of the music for one day... I'd put Wumpscut's Ich Will Dich on loop and make everyone too uncomfortable to package the sausages ever again.

 

[Deathmageddon]

I work from home so I my soundtrack is made up of the South Park, American Dad, and Big Bang Theory reruns on my DVR.

 

[Queen Michael]

I listen to that station that my boss always has on, that plays the same easy-listening music all the time. It's like thirty songs looped. I hate it.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Lately I have being playing alot of The Clash and other punk bands in work, dunno why just feeling in the mood for some punk music.

Usually I just play a new album I've bought or just leave my ipod on shuffle in work.

 

[DJ_DEnM]

Not really work, but rather school for me. I usually listen to anything that doesn't distract me too much while working (i.e. something like Gangnam Style [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0]). Mostly that will leave me listening to something that I don't need to pay much attention to...like Dubstep.

 

[TheLizardKing]

On my Ipod i have a playlist of
The Doors
The Animals
The Rolling Stones
Cage the Elephant
The Who
Frank Sinatra
Dean Martin
Glenn Miller
AC/DC
Chet Baker
Artie Shaw
John Coltrane
Muddy Waters

Louis Armstrong

Benny Goodman
Fats Domino
Johnny Cash
Rush
Fleetwood Mac
Howlin' Wolf
The Beatles
Queen
Led Zeppelin

Never get sick of it.

 

[Esotera]

Mostly a lot of metal and songs that I would definitely not be comfortable playing out loud to my coworkers. I'm 90% sure that at least some of them are metalheads as well, but I'm not sure whether they consider anything beyond Iron Maiden to be exotic...

Arch Enemy
Amon Amarth
Cobalt
Cloudkicker
Children of Bodom
Mindless Self Indulgence
Periphery
The Algorithm

And various others...

I think I'd be more inclined to help with the shopping if that was the norm.

As for me. A lot of jazz, metal, industrial and goth bands. Whatever comes up when my ipod's on shuffle really.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Absolutely nothing at all...

A very phone-centric job, mine so listening to music in the background is very 'unprofessional'. However, sometimes I'll just listen to whatever's on my iPod.

 

[an annoyed writer]

I work nights at a store, so I put on what's on my Ipod. Mostly game and film soundtracks (I even have expanded scores!). It really helps me get through the day, especially when the bosses put on those annoying pop CDs with atrocities such as "Paradise" by Coldplay. Max Payne 3's music kicks all of their asses.
