Best music for wrenching on the Subaru

Featured Replies

For me it depends on the weather. Hot weather bearing packing, or other greasy messes just beg for old ZZ Top or Motorhead. For cleaner cool weather nighttime work I like some of this new Psy-trance coming out of Europe. For warm weather nighttime work the metal channel on Sirius sattelite is pretty inspiring.

 

Whadda ya'll like to listen to.

I can't hear it over the air compressor, drill, hammer'n, whoop'n'holler'n anyway so I just put it on NPR.

Classical - helps keep me calm when things don't go quite right.

well untill I deleted everything on the second HD in my comp in the garage (runnin dos 5.1 and a MP3 player that is for dos) it was a interesting mix of techno, heavy metal, hard rock, wierd al, and classic rock sometime later when we get another comp one of the ones in the comp room will be relocated out into the garage and have a wireless card so I can tune into something off the web through winamp and channel it through a receaver that I have somewhere just need speakers for :)

Zeppelin and Floyd are my general purpose wrenching bands. If I'm having trouble with something, I go right to Rage Against the Machine, System of a Down, etc. Also like the ZZTop and (sometimes) Bob Segar.

any off the xtremeradio stations work for me... music (noise) such as:

 

rage

soc d

bad religion (just saw them in concert, ROCK ON)

decendents

metallica

3 days grace

bush

shinedown

apt. 27

audioslave

as long as no one says country i guess ill be alright...

Motorhead and Ramones gets the jobs done faster.Any good punk from AOD to X and all the "The" bands. :lol:

 

Sunday nights are dedicated to the New Age shows.Ambient stuff.

Jimmy Buffett, Frank Zappa (Joe's Garage, of course :headbang: ), practically any old rock, Floyd, ZZ Top, and Beatles :banana: .

 

George Carlin works too, Shawn ;)

I tend to keep it to the classic rock or smooth reggae. Something that keeps me nice, calm, cool and collected. But yea it has to be loud to cover up the air compressor and the really, really bad singing that's coming from under the car.... :grin:

Pistols, Ramones, Pixies, Wyclef Jean, anything with engery, but Frank Sinatra is good too!

Johny Cash, Hank Williams, BR549, Incubus, Foo fighters, Jimmy Eat World, Heart, ELO, and The Big Wu just to name a few. But for my money, my Favorite is The Dark Side of the Moon.

Motorhead

Slayer

Shadows Fall

Lamb of God

Monster Truck Driver

In Flames

Mastodon

Fear

 

That sort of stuff does me quite well down in the garage.

How 'bout:

 

Barry Manilow

Celine Dion

Michael W. Smith

Manheim Steamroller

and a little 101 Strings

:brow:

country , 60-70-80s rock, NO RAP MUSIC , NO BOOM BOOM BOOM music .

I gotta agree with SAMO

 

When me and my bro are toolin on the fleet, we listen to Metal, Metalcore:

Lamb of God

Beyond All Reason

Shadows Fall

Skinless

Blood Has Been Shed

Section 8

Killswitch Engage

Six Feet Under

Throwdown

Pantera, slayer, fear factory - anything heavy. keeps the motivation up!
