What music do you listen while playing chess?

Sort:
Dragoncasp8

I mostly listen to some sort of electronic or techno to get in a "trance-like" state and focus solely on the game.

Either very sad instrumental pieces (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuNhTLVgV2Y) or rock (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4VCpTZye10). I love older songs as well (60s and 70s), however I find I need either very fast paced or very slow paced music when playing chess.
 

creepingdeath1974

I mostly listen to death metal.

Actually, there is a very delicious theme made just for lovers of chess with medieval atmosphere, www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccXsLY0Qv08. There are also other tracks, I have the original CD, so I use my old CD player while playing OTB chess.

Classics like Mozart, Beethoven and Frans Liszt. Also Reggie is good.(Bob Marley and stuff)

I listen to Marshall Mather's rap.

@skakmadurinn: Do you also like William Joseph?  He is my mother's favorite pianist.

I listen to a lot of Grunge and 90's alternative like Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Oasis, Collective Soul, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, Soul Asylum, The Offspring, Jimmy Eat World, Radiohead, Counting Crows, Tool, and Nine Inch Nails.

Nothing at all (I enjoy music, but it's distracting during chess). But classical sounds appropriate.
