Music you listen to while working on your games

I just thought it would be interesting to see if anyone listens to music while making their game, if so what music do you play?

I personally like to listen to music that gives me the "I made it" feel. Like i'm going big time. for the past week I have almost been exclusively listening to this song

Video:


Yes, I'm into hip hop and I like this kid cause hes young and making a name for himself. Much like most of us here.

This song is about this kid taking off and hitting it big, which I like to imagine will be me someday.

    Those are some interesting choices ORBZ, I can see why you use them though. Just get absorbed into the beat and get on a roll.

    I think i might go a little bit insane, and not in a fun party kind of way, if I lived in your house. :)

    I've been listening to this for four years;
    "His code not functional or elegant, what do Code Monkey think?
    Code Monkey think maybe manager wanna write god damn login page himself."

    I loved it originally because not only was I learning to code at the time, with some very ugly results, but I was constantly getting hired by asshats, lol.

    No wonder sound takes a backseat in video games. HA HA!

    While making Annoyed Tomatoes I don't remember listen to music while making the game. That was because I want to hear how the game sounds. It's boring, but making the game sound better is more important.

    This is especially frustrating with the sound effects project... and the textbook... I haven't been playing music as much, but I just can't concentrate to both. If I'm writing book content, I need a clear head. If I'm listening to audio content for games, background noises have to be reduced.

    @orbs - Fully digging on your selections (love trance/ambient). Is Digweed still around/putting out material? (haven't seen the name featured anywhere in several years)

    I like to put on Streaming Soundtracks... it's a radio station where you can choose tracks from all sorts of movies and games...

    Stick on a Halo track, followed by Back to the Future, then a quick jaunt with Mario Galaxy...

    It helps keep me in the game mood...

    This evening..I'm rocking Spotify... and listening to a bit of Johnny Cash again.... just loving it... seems to make me my most productive... that and the knowledge that I'm winning a spiderman costume on ebay...
