What's the best music to listen to while working?

[Kevin Lancaster]

Your office is noisy and you need to focus - on come the headphones and the 4-hour Deadmau5 mix.

Or maybe Katy Perry on repeat is the remedy?

What music do you listen to when you work?

 

[Genisys]

Trance. Only trance. Nothing else.

None, a person is more productive without music

Trance. Only trance. Nothing else.

+1. Psytrance is the answer to all noise problems.

Deadmau5 (with minimal vocals), no-vocals EDM mixes, and certain chillstep mixes also work well.

Depends on the mood it's either orchestral trance, piano songs, chillout or folk. Perhaps even classical sometimes.

EDIT: love the fact that Google can detect I'm at work or at home and offer me playlists based on the fact. Great feature.

I prefer some uplifting mixed in there as well, but can't go wrong with Psytrance. Trap is also good from time to time.

Rock and metal, drowns out everything else.

Although lately listen to a lot of podcasts.

 

[konfab]

OSTs from Computer games and Movies.

Personal best is the 6 hour long playlist containing all the music from Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 3.
Then I have a 9 hour long Star wars playlist that has all the music from all the movies (Episode 1 to Rogue 1).

I also listen to rock and metal, and sometimes classical. You can also try ambient and different types of drone music.

Same here...

 

[TehStranger]

Rock, metal, classical, 80s pop, jazz, orchestral, maybe even some EDM or deep house.

Great soundtrack but not something that I find helps with focus. More suited to when you want to escape...

 

[Baxteen]

Melodic death metal.

In flames, Dark Tranquility, Soilwork is 55% of my playlist, wiht In Flames making up the bulk of that. 67% in fact

some breaking Benjamin and some The Butterfly effect. some chevelle songs, some the Narrow. that is about 20% of the playlist

Can you spot the boss here folks ^^^

Probably makes his employees fill time sheets and nails them for being 1 second late for work.

I just hit the shuffle and can get anything from Wu Tang Clan to Kelly Clarkson. Though lately I've taken a liking to synthwave like Dynatron and Com Truise.
