When I get to stop in one spot long enough to plug in a radio, it's blues, old '60 & '70's rock, classical, or Zappa, all on CD. Jobs often seem to be a form of "radio war", with the Metalmen vs the Mariachis. Also, station KROQ plays the same songs over and over every day ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/frown.gif) (and Colbane of Nirvana lied...he did have a gun) If DeWalt would grant me one wish, it would be a resistor ahead of the speakers on their radios. The hip-hop guys that leave their multi-zillion watt car stereos on all day carry jumper cables, as they can't go home without a jump.

What's fun, is to get there first, and tune in the local "christian rock" station,real loud, then watch the other's faces when they finally figure out what they have been listening to. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/biggrin.gif) The music ain't bad, and its better than rap. Any body ever see the SNL skit about the gangsta barbershop quartet? trainwire

I don't know what it is, but the older I get, the more I listen to the news, opinion shows and talk shows. I've taken to a small Walkman, AM/FM radio only, and one earphone (I have the luxury of a 24 hour NPR news/talk station). I can go all day with most noise/music environments as just a back drop for what interests me. When I need a break from the talk I'll steer the job site tunes (if possible) with CD's or tapes: Irish & French folk, Tibetan Monk chants, Polish wedding music, Zappa, Raggae, Hindu Ragas, American Indian drumming, Blues. . .

I failed to mention... the radio in the Van is tuned to the most recent traffic updates, and Rush (not the band).

I'll listen to anything but rap. I'll even listen to the Back Stink...I mean Back Street Boys, and Nstink...I mean Nsync. If the Astros are playing, we usually tune in. We don't have a problem with radios on job sites because anyone who causes trouble gets their radio "meggered" while they're at lunch, or the cord gets cut.....somehow.... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/rolleyes.gif) Would I really do something like that? I wouldn't, but I know guys who would. Radiological Regards, Doc

I've never been one to want the distraction of music when I was working. After riding around in an old work van without a radio I realized I did not need or really get anything out of the distraction while driving either. It's probably been 3 or more years since I have listened to music or news while driving. After the trip is over I have noticed more scenery, mused more about more important issues, and been much more alert to traffic without being stressed. Since last October I have made a 3000 mile trip, five 2300 mile trips and several shorter ones, all without the distraction of radio or babbling passenger.
I do like to listen to Willie and Waylon if I don't have anything to do or anything on my mind.
