I have been putting together a bunch of songs that i play while I'm in the shop making knives. I'm a rock man and love Metallica, ac/dc and the like. just wondering what some of your favorate songs are for shop tunes. here are some of my Forging songs.

Metallica
Blackened
Turn The Page (one of my most favorat songs ever)
Whiskey in The Jar
Motorbreath
Ain't My Bitch (This is my air drum song :D)
Master of Puppets
Fuel
Creeping Death

There are a bunch more but thats what i have off the top of my head. so lets hear them, what do you listen to.
 
Well, I don't really go in the shop enough to qualify, but when I do I set my crappy clock radio to CBC. At school they play the country station, it is not so bad, but the songs repeat day after day...
 
I listen to a lot of stuff, but my favorite is Bluegrass. Ralph Stanly sure does have that high lonesome sound.
 
Haven't gotten around to making a shop sound track but I do tune it to 95.7 for some great classic rock.
 
Th artists I listen to are-Alice in chains, Pantera, Lightning Hopkins, Del Mccoury Band, Godsmack, I have a huge variety, If I can feel the song "I like it"
 
Classic Rock-

Neil Young
Bob Dylan
John Prine
Mark Knopfler
Charlie McCoy on harp
Larry Delawder on harp
I also enjoy classic hymns.


Guess that dates me!

I'll be the first to admit that I'm weird with tunes. I can listen to anything as long as it's played on a good sound system. Otherwise I listen to talk radio. Cheap radios playing music hurt my ears.

I grew up with AC/DC and metallica so they are my all time faves but I also like the Slim Shady genre.
 
50-60's honky-tonk country.
Lefty Frizzell
Ray Price
Patsy Cline
Erenst Tubb

Gee I'm old

Sometimes Johnny Cash, sometimes Ministry, sometimes Bach... it depends on the knife and the operation.... An aggressive knife seems to require aggressive music (Iron Maiden, Motorhead), a rustic knife requires more rustic music (old blues or Johnny). Bach seems to help in the fine finishing stage, and with precision work...
 
Mastodon, Mudvayne, Tool , Older ZZ TOP, Hank Williams( Jr. and Sr.) Johnny Cash and for a good laugh The Jerky Boys.
 
Dang most all I can hear is the Roar of my forge or the Ringing of my anvil, cant hear crap when the grinder is on. I cant have music when I'm on the Mill because I like to hear the work to see if it starts to chatter. Nah no music for me until I'm done
