Poker Music

I'd like to know how many of you listen to music while playing online, and if you do, what do you listen to to get in a poker ass kicking mood? I normally listen to The Doors (as my name would suggest), but Led Zeppelin also does it for me while playing. I know this is retarded, but I'm just curious.

It depends on my mood.

Sometimes it's ska, both ska-punk and maybe some "classic" ska.

If I think I'm in the mood for a session several hours long, I might do some ambient techno.

If I just feel like doing a couple SNGs quick, I might put on The Ataris, Green Day, or something else kind of high-energy.

You have to have the some clarence creedwater revival playing. It seems to have a very old school poker feel to it.

Blues. Luther Allison, Michael Burks, Jimmy Thackery and many more.

basically whatever music i dig. right now it's the allman brothers, but the song before that was the plastic people of the universe, and before that was soundgarden, before that was pink floyd, etc. who knows what'll be next - i love the random setting on this stuff.

Wu Tang is great. Mos Def (obviously!). NYC rap. Hell yeah!

It's strange. I'm a big time old school hip hop listener, but I do not enjoy listening to hip hop while I'm playing. It's distracting, and not in a good way.

When I think I have to listen to music while playing (which isn't that often), I'll load up a playlist of all of Radiohead's albums and shuffle, or I'll do the same with Elliot Smith. Just recently got turned onto Robert Randolph, and that went pretty well too.

Sometimes I'll just play some hip hop mixes from the BBC on low and hope I enter the 'zone' or something. It seems I prefer the instrumentally inclined music.
