whoRyou Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I am a BIG AUDIOPHILER, so I was wondering what others songs pump or help you chill to make your day or whether you are having a hard day cramming for a test or a late night/day at the hospital/clinic/office - which ones will you be adding to your pre-shift playlist? I also need my Cowon player to play all of my music. I like Loverboy "Working for the Weekend" - It's the ultimate top-down, hair-blowing-in-the-wind full blast anthem of all time. Now, if I just want to 'chill' I do like Pink Floyd, perhaps "Dark Side of the Moon" or Brian Eno "Ambient 1: Music for Airports" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted April 27, 2013 Administrator Share Posted April 27, 2013 I've been listening to Owl City lately. It's quite upbeat. I have zero tolerance for contemporary radio, but I get copies of anything my kids buy on iTunes, (my account is the "family" account) so I get to try what they like... But, since I've been accumulating CDs for ~22 years, I have over a month of music on my iTunes by now, so I have a quite eclectic mix of stuff if I want...

whoRyou Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Hi Rev I actually have heard of Own City and I do like them quite a bit. As I mentioned I have quite a bit of music ranging from LPs, EPs, Lossless (audio format uses an algorithm to compress audio data so the original sound source is exactly preserved) with a collection with FLACs (a musical file format that offers bit-perfect copies of CDs) and vinyl and of course CDs as well as SACDs (RedBook Layer) Audio Fidelty, etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted April 27, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 27, 2013 Just lately, as it changes constantly, listening to anything by imagine dragons to cheer me up. To get pumped I've been listening to Beast by Nico Vega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry519 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I love me some The Classic Crime and The Forecast, any time. For those who like Christian music, Leeland. As for chill music, The Vocal Few and Bob Marley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I wish I knew who some of those artists are! I guess this is a very generational thread! I got through PA school by studying to new age music and what you now can listen to on Pandora's Danny White or Time-Warner's Soundscapes channels. Anything else and I couldn't concentrate. And, believe me, I NEEDED to concentrate! To get fired up, it's old school for me: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2 Walk of Life by Dire Straits Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac Here I am by Patty Lovelace The House that Built Me by Miranda Lambert Long May You Run by Stills and Young Wasted on the Way by Crosby, Stills & Nash Remember When by Alan Jackson Almost any swamp rock tune from John Fogerty and/or Creedence Clearwater Revival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdenning Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Songs to pump you up is simple - AC/DC. Songs to chill you - almost anything released in the past 10 years..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelseff Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I listen to "lost coast" or island music when all the patients are gone and I'm charting in my office. Jboog, akoostikz, marley, Oshen, Pati, etc. Or when its an especially hard day, Earth Wind & Fire, my all time favorite band.

Moderator True Anomaly Posted April 27, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 27, 2013 I've thrown this out before, but as far as "chill" goes, I've been a huge fan of an online radio station called "Radio Paradise" for the past 8 years. It's a mom-and-pop run station out of Paradise, CA that focuses on indie stuff as well as deep cuts from major artists. They're basically elder hippies, so you can guess where they skew musically :) For "pumped", I think my avatar says it all- METAL- hard, fast and loud.

greenmood Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I made a playlist for clinical year, to be played at maximum volume. I call it my "****ty Day Mix." Songs that make me suck it up and keep swimming. As you'll see, it has something for everyone. The inspiration came from the Florence song. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana Basket Case - Green Day A Little Respect - Erasure Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen Shake It Out - Florence + the Machine Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters Manic Monday - Bangles Free Fallin' - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers We Will Rock You - Queen We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister It's My Life - Bon Jovi More Than a Feeling - Boston Little Bird - Annie Lennox Bad Day - Daniel Powter Man In the Mirror - Michael Jackson Edit: I started listening to it after I posted this. Have you ever had a song so deeply associated with a moment in your life that every time you hear it you feel like you're back there? I have just learned that this playlist brings me back to last summer, and long drives to and from my first clinical rotation. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb1988 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I love The Lumineers for nice, chilling music lately. As for getting pumped up? "Good Day" by Nappy Roots. So good. I swear if you put that at the top of your playlist before you run/workout, it WILL be a good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will352ns Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 My tastes vary depending on my mood. Sometimes I will listen to old school rock to pump me up (think Led Zep'ish) and sometimes I will revert to my youth and listen to old hardcore/punk. My MP3 player has quite the eclectic mix of about 1000 songs. From Elvis to the Misfits. I was doing my morning run the other day and "Beat Me Senseless" from the Circle Jerks came on....haha. Mile 5 flew by. To chill....Led Zep (again, acoustic stuff), Floyd, modern mellow stuff...again, varies. If you want to get me angry, make me listen to Adel.:=Z: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medic25 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 You can never go wrong with The Pogues to get you fired up. "If I should fall from grace with God" and "The Body of an American" are a couple of favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
