Music

I'm curious, how many of you are like me? I love listening to music while playing. I don't know if it helps or hurts, but I love it! Classically my favorites are Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin. But I love hard rock/metal as well. Favorites being Van Halen and Metallica. Regardless of your musical taste, I would like to know how many of you love to play chess and listen to music, and what you like to listen to.

meshuggah: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J4Ye7nRT0s

but i'd be really surprised if you didn't dig amon amarth. 

I just checked Amon Amarth out, they are awesome! Really cool!

Finally got around to hearing Gojira and Meshuggah, ( it's been a long week). I like both, but Gojira is really cool!

A nice bit of prog rock always goes down well

yeah gojira is super tight live. 

here's some shostakovich:

But I enjoy listening to In Flames, Caliban and Ensiferum etc aswell when playing chess.  

I usually listen to Asking Alexandria and Disturbed. 

Bob Marley, Ray Charles, Mozart, Bach

Axhed, Just heard the shostakovich, really nice. I don't think I've heard that piece before, I really like it! 

And NaturalProduct, I also love Bob Marley!

Check out Valentina Lisitsa playing Beethoven's 3rd movement of his Appasionata Sonata, truely awesome!!!
