Ask HN: Which song kicks the most code out of you?

7 pointsmonsterix21 comments

For me it is the 'Highway to Hell' by AC/DC.

I'm afraid I may be outta place here, but for me its classical music. Anything Bach, but my big fave is Mozart's Requiem. It makes me sing while I code. Especially Tuba mirum http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-i5S4uXlNg

There are a few that stand out in that regard:

Last Train Home - Armored Saint

Forgot About Dre - Dr. Dre & Eminem

Wildside - Mötley Crüe

I'll Still Kill - 50 Cent

Thunder In Your Heart - John Farnham

Crazy On You - Heart

Leave A Light On For Me - Belinda Carlisle

Homage For Satan - Deicide

Holy Water - Mercyful Fate

Technologic - Daft Punk

Ridin' The Storm Out - REO Speedwagon

Asian Hooker - Steel Panther

Hardcore Gabber music make me code super fast, like this kind:

Holy shit! I have no idea how you can code to that music, but thank you for expanding my horizons. There are some great tunes there!

There may be an adjustment period... here's some more https://www.youtube.com/user/piteronio/videos

Yeah this kind ! But you know I also listen to video games music or series OST (Wow, Game of Thrones, etc..)

4'33" by John Cage

Around the World - Daft Punk

Any Daft Punk song for me. Great band.

Robot Rock was like an anthem in the early days of facebook, or so I've heard.

For anyone who is into electronic music, I put together a coding playlist on spotify that I've put a lot of thought into.

Mostly ambient, but enough variety to keep it interesting.

Hopefully you'll discover a few cool artists you haven't heard of before :)

Kickraux version of jay-z tom ford... You gotta hear it!

Any song off of the album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts by M83.

Never heard 'em. Added to my list of new music, thanks!

I code well listening to them because the music on this album has little to no lyrics. When I'm programming and I'm listening to a song that I like I'll just get out of focus because I'll start singing along.

If you like that album, listen to Before the Dawn Heals Us, their next album. Their last two albums, Saturdays = Youth and Hurry Up, We're Dreaming are also great but they have more lyrics to sing along to.

Oh I agree, instrumental music is far ahead in execution and it does appeal well to some hackers who are on the bleeding edge. I some time listen to 'Cluster one', Pink Floyd to calm myself.

Added all suggestions on this list to my list. Thanks!

I'm very sorry to admit that (happy) hardcore does it for me. The music sucks but I get awfully productive by listening to it on full volume on my headphones...

'Secret Missile' by Pentagram

Definitely WindowLicker by Aphex Twin

Frisky Radio

Apocalypshit by Molotov
