What music do you listen to when you're trading?

[waveslider]

I'm listening to Tortoise, and a band called the Bad Plus. Instrumental post-jazz stuff - both are coming to Vancouver for the jazzzz fest - I'm there..!
Instrumental and complex, real instruments, not drum machines.. if anyone has suggestions I would love to hear them.

over 2900 songs for my iPod/iTunes.

Sometimes I put it on party shuffle and let it play what ever.

There is not set routine for me, sometimes I have music on while trading, sometimes its' off during a trade. It's on when I'm not trading and off sometimes when I'm not trading as well.

To name a few bands/artists:

Linkin Park
Toby Keith
Green Day
Finger Eleven
Dolores O'riordan
Coldplay
Weezer
Three Days Grace
Sarah McLachlan

Pretty much anything with a drum beat and guitars. But I love my music, could not get through a single day without hearing something.

Classical..mostly piano and guitar. I'm teaching myself piano and will start guitar.

trance...although i don't know where to get the good stuff anymore

Ocean's 12 soundtrack relaxes me
Yea, I'm a weirdo.

run dmc .."im in the house yall! im in the house yall!"

Some tracks from mob movies but mostly from the Godfather. It brings some memories. btw, I'm not affiliated with mobsters.

Obscure 70s/80s Can-Con stuff like April Wine, Trooper, Chilliwack, Saga, Streetheart, and Triumph.

JS Bach is the man (and baroque music is proven to have beneficial impact on mind and nerves). It has a rythm and a flow that is exactly to my liking. Also jazz, especially great trumpet players; Davis and Stanko. By the way, there are traders who not only listen to music at work but also watch movies - J.Carter (of Mastering the Trade fame) mentions Gladiator as his usual visual support.

ps. I do watch RATM gigs and other hard hitting bands on weekends, for full balance, not without a few cans of lager.
