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:)

Riverside 20 - Volume 1, The Shorts.  The band is Riverside, but what I listed is the tital on Qobuz.

Carolin No - Carolin No. 

 

How do you listen?  Are you streaming?  Suggest setting up a playlist with all the favorites you mentioned.  That’s what I’ve done.  Start with all the Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler albums.  That’s several hours right there.  

Miles Davis - In a Silent Way

Grant Green - Idle Moments

Joe Henderson - Live at the Village Vanguard 1 & 2

I like Yo Yo Ma but got to the point where I feel I can hear him more than the music.

Try Brandenburg Concertos as well as anything related to ancient music.
