shop music to build cars to

+1 to most all of the earlier lists. I'll add a few that slipped through the cracks:

Los Straitjackets - for the surf instrumental crowd

Deke Dickerson - for the rockabilly crowd

Psychodevilles - for the psychobilly crowd

Hotrod Hucksters - for any crowd.

Rare tour, no shit. I told Harley they need to come back to the East Coast more often. Scariest band in the world but cool guys to drink with. Psycho-Charger who opened up were pretty awesome too.

 

Captain Beefheart

 

The best hot rod building motivation music i think is a mix of oldies with some rockabilly for example: Deadbeat Daddies,The dynotones,Hillbilly hellcats,The ventures,The derailers,Aces & Eights,Junior Brown,Dale Watson,The stray cats,The hot rod trio, ill stop there but ive got many many more thats just all good hot rod music.

 

what the hell? i am sorry, i used to listen to that too, but i don't feel like giving my speakers herpies.

 

your not weird forlistening to so many things. it makes you open minded. i have just about every thing. people look at me funny when i listen to the murphys.

 

hell yeah! great selection! can I come to work for you? if you notice, my signature is a line from Have a Cigar on Floyd's Wish You Were Here album. all of it rocks! PS, if i do come to work for you, i do not have much sight left so life and driving with me will be a fun and pants-sh*tting moment.

 

I stream off Rockabillyradio.net at work and have it wired to play in office and shop people come in and ask what are you listening to they dont like oh well makes my day better and its all about me

Thats not shop music, its propaganda with a side of hate and ignorance......
With some crap baseball on top.

 

Depends what the job is. Bash and crash stuff has to be with a selection of Rockabilly, AC/DC, George Thorogood, Billy Thorpe, Cold Chisel etc. Precision stuff, toned down just slightly witha bit more old vintage Rock & Roll, Bit of country, like Alan Jackson, Dwight Yokoam. But sometimes, just a good AFL Footy game blaring from the radio, or the TV, if the Mighty Saints are playing. Washing down the dust with a few or more beers, seems to dull the music anyway.

 

Silence.......music's original alternative.

 

Social D
Johnny Cash
Stray Cats
Danzig
Misfits
Pennywise
Bad Religion
Slipknot
