When I'm working on something, I like to listen to a steady and repetitive beat, it somehow helps me focus. This has been my go-to for a while, I just put it on loop in the background:

Yes! What I love even more about this is that QOTSA contributed heavily to the Desert Rock scene, and out comes Slomosa, a Norwegian band, with "Tundra Rock" - a genre inspired by Desert Rock, which itself has elements of metal! Slomosa are amazing, check them out:

Can't go wrong with Queens! I was on a big QotSA kick a couple years ago. Saw them live when they came through Raleigh and they freaking rock!

Hello 👋 How are you? Good to see you posting! 🙂

🌌EVE Online is a free MMORPG sci-fi strategy game where you can embark on your own unique space adventure and I love listening to this EVE Online fan music video (mix/parody of "How to Save a Life" by The Fray):

I can't get these 2 songs out of my head:
Keane - Somewhere only we know and The Kinks - Rosie won't you please come home + today's only theme The Beach Boys - Surfin' USA

Good tunes, Martin!

I especially like the one by The Kinks. I have a big soft spot for 60's music!

I've been waiting for Lady Gaga's songs for a long time. She's back with a style like Judas. Of course Judas is still my favorite but Abracadabra is also very good.

I can't focus well while listening music cause I always get trapped into the beat, but whenever I listen music at work I try instrumental and loop sounds like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhZaHf8RP6g&ab_channel=DaftPunk

Hey, loving the energy in this thread! 🎧 If you're looking to explore or just vibe out to endless tracks, Spotify is always my go-to. Whether it's lo-fi beats to code to or some upbeat indie rock, the playlists are 🔥. If you haven’t tried Spotify Lite APK, it's a lightweight version that still lets you dive into your favorite music on the go. Worth checking out!

I like the open-ended idea behind this Music Monday discussion because it gives everyone a chance to share something outside their usual playlists. Discovering different artists and genres is one of the best parts of music communities. For anyone who enjoys exploring music on a computer, desktop music listening can also be a convenient way to discover new tracks and revisit old favorites.

Listening to a steady, repetitive beat while working is a well-recognized method for enhancing focus and productivity bit.ly/44KHwM8 .This approach leverages the brain's preference for predictable patterns, which can minimize distractions and foster a state of deep concentration
