When working wood or automobiles cold drink & hot music set at 11 are mandatory, but a distraction when modeling. Good music pulls my mind to other times & places.
Music while building
- Thread starter Peej
- Start date
Some classical, some folk, C&W and easy listening such as Enya or Clanaad - a real mixture generally!

MAINLY 60 AN 70 stuff for me on tape cassett
Pretty much the same answers I gave earlier in this thread…..currently Lucy Ward and Kate Bush, along with some Delius, in heavy rotation.
I'm guessing everyone is waiting for me to say the "Wurzels"... ?!!
... But no, sorry to disappoint... Generally it's anything hard rock/punk stuff!!

Well, today I've listened to Leonard Cohen, a blues guitar compilation, and Lonnie Donegan's Greatest Hits. Now for some Vivaldi...

I’ve always got the radio on in my modelling room, now usually tuned to a Dutch alternative-music radio station.
Wot, no Scrumpy and Western……what a let down :sad:I'm guessing everyone is waiting for me to say the "Wurzels"... ?!!

i used to listen to Radio 2 but its changed so much recently
only thing thats worth listening to is Ken Bruce......and thats for the quiz!
they rejigged evenings and the folk and blues shows are now on much later
final straw was getting rid of steve wright in favour of the awful scott mills
but ive just discovered a station called Greatest Hits which seems to be populated by lots of ex Radio 2 djs so all is good....cept for the adverts lol.....i want to listen to music not adverts

Wow. I just saw this revived thread and think it's great!!! I used to listen to music at the table while building. I'm kinda old and classic rock from the 60's on up are my favorites. The problem was, I like to sing along and that didn't go too well. Dogs started barking, Neighbors complaining, but when the Polizei showed up at the door, thinking someone was being murdered, I had to stop.......
Sometimes, I have the telly on when I work. You don't have to watch the drivel as it's just background noise. If I am doing basic building, I may play a whole album or two. For detail work, I don't, as the urge to sing again is too overwhelming...The gamut runs from April Wine to Frank Zappa. Favs are Jethro Tull, The Who, ELP, Traffic, Led Zep, The James Gang and so on.
A true story.......In a military school, back in the 80's, another soldier asked me what I was listening to on my Walkman. I said, Def Leppard and he looked at me with a very strange face and asked, why would you listen to a cat that can't hear? I had to leave the room immediately...........

Ah,the PROPER Def Leppard,(80's era

Ah,the PROPER Def Leppard,(80's era
The original "High 'n Dry" album, not the re-release a bit later where they had remixed it and took the edge off!!! "Pyromania" is also a killer album...
Yep,the original one mate
