Music for Working Creatively – I need your help!


I need your recommendations for music to listen to while I work, but first some context...

I run an marketing/ ad agency and like to listen all day to a variety of tunes through my mid-fi tube amp setup w Klipsch Heresy speakers.

The music can't be too hard or piercing (no AC/DC) but I do like music with a beat and rhythm.

Some favourites include: Classic Rock (Fleetwood Mac, The Cars, Dire Straits, etc), "Good" Country (Chris Stapleton, Merle, Willie, etc), HipHop/Electronic (Post Malone, Daft Punk)

Thanks in advance for your great suggestions:)

lots of research suggests Baroque music pace and meter coincides with brain waves, and is great for creative process...moves us forward without drawing attention to itself...Vivaldi has worked particularly good for me...

Yo Yo Ma, Bach Cello Suites. Try it, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks everyone.

I do sometimes listen to classical, however more when I paint.

Any hidden gem rock / alternative albums out there?

More in the prog alt rock mold, not too hard, elaborate and upbeat:

- Puscifer / Condition of my parole

- Beck / Midnight

- OSI / Blood

- Pineapple Thief / Dissolution

- Lunatic Soul / Fractured

On the electronic front and not to miss:

- Anything by Yello, start with Point / Motion Picture or Zebra

- Air / 10,000 Hz legend or Pocket Symphony

That ought keep you busy for awhile. Enjoy!
