I should try it. I think this would be a nice one to play chess to:
Do you listen to music while playing online?
Sort:
@imsighked2 - Kitaro is good stuff. Always good to pull some out and listen.

lol, also, I forgot to point out, there's a difference between "classical" and "romantic" music! I prefer the latter to the former in general.
Well, Beethoven is considered to be one of the first Romantic era composers. And Stephen Foster, he of Oh! Susanna fame, is also considered one so ...
Do you listen to Brahms and Strauss (any of them)?

That is some garbage right there, oh, apparently you call that music, well let it be.
@Rsava
That's actually awesome, thank you for posting this, I will definetely listen to this some more, the Macalpine album I mean. The man handles guitar and piano astonishingly well- impressive.

Yes, he is, although his songs don't have that kind of magic to me. And no, but I think my second favorite would be Schubert, whose compositions are also very smooth and pleasant.

Listen? I watch and listen to Hot Kpop videos while waiting for my opponents move in daily chess.

Yeah, this is what I mean -
Chopin in great, like it. Also Beethoven and Schubert I like. But I like Jimmi Hendriks as well.
Hardly but when I do I usually listen to pop music. Rock is too strong for me to concentrate
Anything that's from Zack Hemsey.

I listen to uplifting songs like Stephen Bishop:- I'm So Miserable Without You It's Almost Like Having You Here.
Deutschrock or old school metal.

All the time when I'm playing online. it helps me concentrate. Mainly Punk, metal or techno. I wish I was allowed to listen when playing OTB tournaments, but what with cheating I wouldn't be allowed the device to listen on.
usually listen to music by The Secession
No, I don't listen to any music while playing chess (online or otherwise). I find it far too distracting.
Peace and quiet all the way for me. 
@chesspunk04 - can recommend some great German punk and punk-metal crossover if you're interested
Wow, thank you for this post. I always thought listening to music would distract you or make you impulsive in your moves, but I was dead wrong. Speaking as someone with ADHD, this was the best post anyone could ever put up. Just played my first game with music, and it was awesome. Never played so aggressively or semi-accurately in my life, and I barely felt my ADHD. Thanks.
I listen to this playlist:
