Turning music
It sounds like we have about the same music collection. When I go into a store to look for music, I go directly to the bargain bin to see wat treasures I can find. I always tell my wife "Look, so-and-so really screwed up and put this in the bargain bin! Let's get out of here before they realize what they've done!"
I'm not young enough to know it all!

My tastes are varied, from Bach thru Pink Floyd to Black Sabbath, but usually my selection has more to do with keeping others out of my shed than promoting inspiration.
I've even considered stooping to Val Doonican or Nana Mouskouri, but it rather defeats the purpose when it keeps me outta the shed too.

System of a down
The Offspring(the fav)
Green Day
Audioslave
Limpbizkit
Foo Fighters
MuDvAyNe
Slip Knot
Old Metalica, Iron Madien, Judas preist
Then I'll stretch too easy listening stuff like
Missy Higgins

Cake
The Cat Empire
John Butler Trio, Just to name a few!

Like Midge said,when turning I prefer to hear what the chisels doing with the wood on the lathe.
The slightest imperfection in the wood will be detected by the chisel and for that reason I dont have the radio on moreover when woodturning...I have had numerous close encounters and I believe your senses are more finely tuned if no outside distraction is current.
Knew a bloke....real good turner ,long since moved on had this one experience whilst having the radio on in his shed ...bowl he was turning flew apart and sconed him...he woke up on the floor by his lathe with the lathe still running and the bowl strewn over all parts of his shed let alone his skull which was covered in blood.
Popular likeable bloke around town, named a park after him when he passed on.
Take Care

Cricket when it's on. Footy when it's on. Radio most of the other times. Sometimes break out a CD and put on Silverchair, Chilli Peppers, Van Halen, Live. Fav album is propably 'Californication' by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Is there anything easier done than said?- Stacky. The bottom pub, Cobram.

AC/DC, Deep Purple, Dio, Rainbow, Blue Oyster Cult, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Golden Earring, Iron Maiden, Iron Butterfly, ZZ Top; Degulleo would be the best album followed by El Loco; Led Zepplin and Jimi Hendrix. These are all on the play list in my. Also have sandalwood incense burning while I turn.

Well said John.... Nothing to overshadow the sound of the tool and the timber. Definitely not an MP3 player or anything else that plugs into the ears and that includes earmuffs and earplugs.
The slightest little click comimg from the timber when turning could spell disaster. Many a skull has been saved by hearing an imperfection before feeling or seeing it.

PS of course my choice if I did listen would have to be good ol vintage rock n roll but will listen to almost anything, swing, clasical, motown, even John Farnham and Human Nature. Hate wailing (me dog died an me missus left me fer another shiela) country and loathe drug f#&ked music.
.56 Rock n Roll rebel....... Too old to die young and too young to be an old fart. Guess I'll just keep on rockin and refuse grow old gracefully.

I listen to alot of Prog/Death/Black/Doom metal myself. Bands like Queensryche, My Dying Bride, Anathema, Arcturus, Cradle of Filth, Morbid Angel...etc...
Of course I also listen to Jazz/Fusion and Dark Wave. Being a guitarist I can't leave out Steve Vai, Satriani, Eric Johnson, Scott Henderson/Tribal Tech... the list goes on...
