Bell X1, the Thrills, U2, and the odd jab at Steven Curtis Chapman. On a US front, Creed and the Foo Fighters. Greenday's latest is almost obligatory. Unfortunately anything traditional does not go well with coding...

One armed space goat wrote:Seriously.. check these guys out. They are fantastic:

- Green Carnation (The CD I have is Light of Day, Day of Darkness - consists of one 60 minute masterpiece)
- Agalloch
- The Mars Volta (still kinda underground)
- Porcupine Tree
- Opeth
- Isis (panopticon - not the red sea)

The list could go on and on and on.

Edit:

These aren't underground, but I can't make a post about good music and not include these bands:

Tool
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
The Mars Volta is alright, I've listened to them. Porcupine Tree is awesome. ;) Tool is alright, and Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are awesome. ^_^

I suppose it depends what I'm coding and how well I'm doing at the task, for example...

If I'm doing a long stink or the creative juices are really flowing then Rammestien is usually at the top of my list with Pearl jam, Nirvana, Faith No More and Metallica following behind. Powerful and upbeat.

If I'm debugging boken ode, then calmer music is on the play list, normally just the radio as I can allow my self to get distracted by the talk, which usually helps me to spot the problem.

If however, I get stuck on a problem or am seeking insperation, then Pearl Jam, Spunge, Less than Jake, The Wonder Stuff.


Of course I do occaisionally just point my windose box at my music folder, launch winamp, switch shuffle on and hit play as well.

One thing I have noticed over the many years of coding, I can't code to slow and relaxing music, it slows me down as I seem to get into a rhythm with typing along with the music, so the slow the music the hard it becomes to type :D

Good choices. I listen to Boards of Canada alot too. Their new album 'The Campfire Headphase' has a few good tracks. Anyone who digs ambient electronica should check it out. http://www.boardsofcanada.com
