Default Favorite Music While Playing

I usually listen to music while I play online. Strangely, some music that I otherwise like annoys me while I'm playing. The Police is a good example. Maybe their sound is a little too complicated or something.

Anyway, how about posting some of your favorite online poker music? I'm partial to Johnny Cash, Weezer, John Denver, and The Who.

Bone Thugs, Jack Johnson, Postal Service, Leonard Cohen, Gondwana, Nirvana.

Leonard Cohen is a must, and Gondwana is good for when you want to stay relaxed but alert. Bone Thugs will help you lag it up a little. JJ and PS will put you slightly on the passive side, but your decisions are usually easier.

I enjoy jazz from the 40's-60's while I am playing. Currently in the rotation are several Miles Davis CD's, Art Blakey, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Thelonius Monk, Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker and Max Roach.

For reasons unbeknownst to me I am able to focus and relax more listening to jazz as opposed to other styles of music that I find enjoyable. The one exception is that my favorite Art Tatum CD's "20th Century Piano Genius" is far too distracting to listen to while playing poker. The guy performs some inhuman things on the piano that demand the listeners full attention.

All chill stuff. Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Death Cab, Sigur Ros, etc.

If I'm feeling tired then maybe Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, New Pornographers, Bloc Party, or Spoon.

I find that listening to classical, nature sounds, or other such harmonic tunes helps me to relax and play better
