I have a playlist called Then Suddenly, it's a collection of epic music that starts off chill and suddenly gets epic. The epicness helps my brain refocus to "shits getting serious" mode for when I get distracted 🤠

I almost exclusively listen to prog rock (e.g. this and this) and prog metal (e.g. this and this). I cannot stand the endless repetition in most genres (e.g. 20 seconds of melody/harmony/rhythm repeated to make a 3 minute song); most prog music is substantially less repetitive than most genres.

I find new prog music through Wikipedia and ProgArchives. Usually the best prog albums (yes albums, not just individual songs) have the highest rating and listenership. Ordinary people do have a sense for good music, if only they were given the opportunity to hear it.

The jack hammer…. That’s not a band. It’s an actual jack hammer.

Anything that can mute my brain's scattered thoughts

My playlist contains

news usually on youtube

No music, podcasts.

I like jazz but I find that it distracts me too much. Classical music that I've not heard before at a low volume seems to work well for me.

peak time / driving techo

Rap/Hip Hop Indie/Rock

For working... LoFi

For wakeup alarm or driving... classic 70s and 80s rock

I don't really listen to much music besides the above scenarios

Jazz, no lyrics, mostly Pat Metheny...

Instrumental jazz ballads (Miles Davis, Bill Evans), lofi hip-hop mix channels on YT, Mozart, Strauss, Liszt, Mahler, instrumental prog

Stuff like Worakls. Especially the album Orchestra.

I prefer listening to music without any lyrics when working

I listen often to Selected Ambient works from Aphex Twin, if ADHD raves in my head -> Drum and bass and breakcore :)

I usually listen ICE CUBE - YOU KNOW HOW WE DO IT

I'm a retro / techno lover (Belgium).

If I need to focus, I prefer opera, otherwise a mash of rap/hip-hop, folk, disco, rock, blues, funk, metal, whatever fits the mood!

Have a good day too!

Lofi from Chillhop Music. Good stuff. https://youtube.com/@ChillhopMusic

<3 nogood. I listen to it over dinner. But for work, I let music.youtube.com randomise jazz tracks.

Used to listen to mostly metal on headphones when worked at fiat office job, now working for Bitcoin at home feels less need for a music and headphones all the time, it's more relaxing by default.
