What songs/artists really get you pumped up for programming? What genres are generally the best? Thanks!

Haha, it seems like a post like this comes up every two weeks, but I enjoy seeing the responses every time.

Here you go [http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=132026]. I agree, I enjoy the responses every time and I actually have the above mentioned link as one of my tabs on FF for a week or so now. I have been meaning to collect some names and head down to the public library and grab a few CDs...

In any case, hope the link helps.

Hah, yah I asked this Q last week and somebody told me it had been asked just a few days earlier...

Nevertheless, I was pointed towards Magnet whose album I have since purchased and now recommend to you.

I like the YC community because you don't get flamed for "noob-ish" activities, but you do get informed of them.

Fishbone and anything else similarly eclectic... Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs... stuff like that.

Do a google search though, this topic comes up very regularly.

I swear that if I see this question posted one more time, I'm going to add a library-request-via-hacker-news feature to Reble.

I just purchased "TRANCE" on itunes ... pretty good so far.

Devin the Dude, and/or a Pandora channel seeded similarly.

Survivor - Eye of the Tiger

Vultures (John Mayer)

Lose Yourself (Eminem)
