Ask HN: What music helps you GTD?

[kadavy]

For some reason, Ryan Adams's "Gold" has helped me focus for years: http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Ryan-Adams/dp/B00005QY5Y

I'm also experimenting with the "soothing" tag station on last.fm. Through that I discovered the "Violet Indiana" artist station as well.

three personal (primarily instrumental) favorites:

explosions in the sky: http://gorankem.com/artists/64517-Explosions-in-the-Sky

sigur ros: http://gorankem.com/artists/11546-Sigur-R-s

mogwai: http://gorankem.com/artists/3544-Mogwai

I mean, working under post-rock doesn't sound like a good idea

+1 for explosions, trying out the last.fm station right now

[yankov → thewordpainter]

that's an awesome music, but how can you work listening that.

Weirdly, hard trance that I know well. I can work to rock or classic, but something like a good Astrix album really gets me working well. If I know the album well I don't think about it, I can focus on the work at hand.
