Re: What Kind Of Music, If Any, Do You Listen To While You Work.
I agree News Radio (Australia that is).
But seriously, usually nothing. With electric saw, hammer drills, nailing guns etc etc going off all the time, ask yourself can you really hear the radio?? So i don't bother. I do on the way to and from work. That's it! to abc news radio. (rolling news 103.9FM)

National Public Radio mostly. Or NFL Radio during football season. And I use a walkman so I don't disturb anyone else - I keep one earbud in so I can hear what people are saying with my other ear even though >90% of the time I'm alone anyhow.

Re: What Kind Of Music, If Any, Do You Listen To While You Work.
oldies mostly
but I keep the radio on low, so I can hear what's going on- also a safety issue..

Talk radio if anything. If I hear Freebird, Stairway to Heaven or Hotel California one more time somebody or something is going to be hurtin'.

Re: What Kind Of Music, If Any, Do You Listen To While You Work.
Mix 106.5 It plays hits from 80's, 90's and today. It is a safe station. Since I do some work when a homeowner may hear it, I try to play someting that will not offend anyone. (My radio does not play country)

Re: What Kind Of Music, If Any, Do You Listen To While You Work.
Classic rock. I know all the songs. Not talk radio because I can hardly do 10 things at once let alone pay attention to what they are saying when all the equipment is running. Years ago they guys would have Howard Stern on. They would always be stopping what they were doing to stand around the radio to hear what hes was talking about. Thats when I decided music only. KEEP BUSY

Re: What Kind Of Music, If Any, Do You Listen To While You Work.
Classic rock, Blues, Southern rock, REAL country like Waylon or Johnny Cash- And you can NEVER hear Stairway to Heaven too many times!
