Anyone listen to music while creating covers?

[amarthar]

Sometimes I go with classical music (Ravel, Tchaikovsky), sometimes with some nice jazz (Miles Davis), sometimes with Power Metal (Blind Guardian, Rhapsody), sometimes video game soundtracks or remixes and sometimes with pure Grindcore. But mostly, like larryinc64, I just play some videos to have some background noise. Also when I'm drunk enough I put on some Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga

i do not make a lot of covers, i think the ones around here are better than mine, but when a make some covers or study or whatever i am doing i listen to alternative rock independent bands (i know kinda hipster) some metal and hardcore even videogame osts.

I've been listening to the new Cattle Decapitation album "Monolith of Inhumanity", and the same-old same-old. Death, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Megadeth, Pantera, Immortal, Emperor, Municipal Waste, (old) Sepultura, Tool, Obituary, Napalm Death, etc.

Lately I've been watching movies and TV while working.  I just went through the entire X-files series last week, and wrapped up the Sopranos the other day.  I went through the MAtrix movies today (though I wasn't at my desk most of the time), and I'm trying to figure out what to put on next.  Maybe Star Trek TNG...

  Maybe Star Trek TNG...

Ahhh....my childhood. Watching TV with my parents.

It's been a while since I made a cover, but I think I was listening to a mix of 3 different songs.

Skillex ft Damian Marley - Make It Burn Dem.
Combichrist - Never Surrender.
MGR-Revegeance Last Boss theme.

(notice that all three have been in a games soundtrack?   HERP DERP... LOL!)

I think I was listening to some Bjork, Devin Townsend, and Little Richard as well, but those three are the ones I can remember (as I just downloaded them).

I have a pretty varied taste in music, ranging from Blues, Reggae, Rock n Roll, Classic, Modern Classic, Classic Rock, Neo Metal, Metal, Heavy Metal, Extreme Metal, Southern Rock, Hard Rock, Bluegrass, Death Metal, Black Metal, Alternative, RnB, Rap, Trance, Dance, Hard Style, Dub Step, Agro Tech, Industrial, Traditional, and Folk... I'm a fan of music before I'm a fan of one certain genre and before that still, I'm a guitarist...

Ska music...Streetlight Manifesto to be specific

I tend to prefer listening to podcasts or spoken word when working, Radio Dead Air's What The F*&k Is Wrong With You and Cinema Shob's Midnight Screening, tend to be what I lessen to, and Tuesday Tech Talk used to be before it got canceled.

If not a pod cast I tend to lessen to Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Santana, The Clash, Nirvana, The Bonzo Dog Band, Metallica, or I pop on a record like Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, or Hearts or something, But If I am relay into my work I tend to ignore changing the side and end up lessening to a side of the LP over and over.
The Beatles tend to distract me.

I tend to listen to Dubstep or some 90s Rock that I've had since high school. Recently I've been getting into more Nerdcore stuff like Mega Ran, A_Rival and MC Frontalot. Over the last few days I've been listening to a ton of The Beatles even though I never really liked them before. Not sure what changed other than I'm older now and have an appreciation for it all of the sudden.
