Anyone else have "go to" songs when working in the reloading room? For me, it's Luke Bryan "Drink'n Beer and Wast'n Bullets" or ZZ Ward "Put the gun down"...Love my Country and Blues :bigsmyl2:

[smilie=s: My choice is a bit different.I like the "Big band" and western swing type music and the classic country sound from the 40`s and 50`s.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

I have a playlist built for when I'm reloading or woodworking. Helps keep me calm and not in a hurry (that's when I make mistakes, lol). Mostly country and blues. Recently listening to a lot of Chris Stapleton and Joe Bonamassa.

The local CLASSICAL FM stereo station......with good stereo system. Relaxing and very enjoyable. Anything else rattles my nerves. Right now it is the FM station that plays Christmas music 24/7!

Merry Christmas.

we get 2 radio stations.
1 is AM and 1 is FM.
they are the same station.
they both play county music [which I continuously complain to the owner about]
I pay for satellite radio which I rigged into the shop.

Listen to a variety of Blues, old school honky tonk, modern country, classic rock; but my all time favorite is Bob Seger.

Someone also mentioned Joe Bonamassa. I was bummed out that I couldn't go see hi when he came to ATL earlier this year. Maybe next go around.

The music I like is the sounds of my loading. The pop of the primer, the sure motion of the press handle, the slight muffled squeak of the bullet seating and the best of all is the newly made round sliding out of the shell holder and into the gauge checker; "plunk", then into the storage box for final inspection.

Roy Orbison hardly ever comes out of the CD player...round-n-round, over-n-over...never gets old.

If I'm in the mood to listen to a female in the shop...it's ole Etta James.

When nostalgia sets in it's Willie Nelson and a couple 6 packs.

I have a set of 10 CD's from the 50-60's, awesome music you can actually understand the words and sing along...if all the selections were on just one CD, well...ole Roy Orbison could take a break.

I am in front of a computer at work all day, and I have internet, so I bring up IHeart radio and choose what I want to listen to genre of my choice. Most of the time it is 'Old Time Rock & Roll', but other times it's KLOV, etc.

At home I choose the same because my reloading room is a multi-tasking space.

I listen podcasts while in the shop reloading. Typically it's one of the shows from the Firearms Radio Network.

I rarely listen to music unless it's the classical station from Purdue with no commercials.

My reloading music varies from time to time My "shop CDs" include '50s-60s Doo Wop, to some Soul of the '60s, to some old New Orleans jazz (not Dixieland) or Chicago jazz, Real Country music from Ray Price, George Jones, etc. up to more "modern stuff like Rhapsody in Blue. Yesterday I was listening to MIke OLdfield's Tubular Bells... None loud enough for me to lose concentration though, no, absolutely no head banging "music" allowed anywhere near my shop...

I changed up the words a little to the anthem song of theirs! “ Loading easy, loading free, season tickets on a one way ride!, Asking nothing, leave me be, ain’t nothing I’d rather do,loadin’ up, going broke,I’m on the highway to lead! “

They also broadcast the local collage football and basketball games, It gets changed to their sister station to listen to a mix of country from the '50's through todays hits., or ISU sports.

I don't like music when I'm reloading but prepping brass, bullet sizing, applying gas checks, sorting head stamps, swaging primer pockets... all go better with some internet album music. I mostly do classic rock, but also country, or "oldies" I search for an artist that strikes my fancy, and then listen to an album or two of one group, then find something else. Recent picks were Dylan, The Guess Who, Bob Seeger, and Pink Floyd. I would certainly switch to Oak Ridge Boys, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, or Garth Brooks if the mood took me there. Oh and the Who, hard not to enjoy trimming brass to The Who. I would also listen to Roy Orbison but I can't really do him in large doses.

Shania Twain, Reba, Wynonna, Faith Hill, Tanya Tucker. Then throw in the Janice Joplin, Fleetwood Mac, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, Cindy Lauper, Pat Benatar

AND MEATLOAF! Some Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper and... so many great albums! I LOVE THE INTERNET! At least on my phone or tablet playing at the bench while I putter.

I like the time to listen to the entire album, it is often produced as a single piece of work and a lot of effort went into making the sum of the songs something greater than the individual parts.

I love playing music while I reload, however I can't do it any more.
My reloading room is downstairs. When I play music, my wife can't hear me moving around or working on things. She starts to think I'm up to something and come to check on me which always disturbs what I'm doing.
SO, to keep her upstairs and out of my hair, I don't play music while I reload.
She has issues from a former husband who didn't treat her well and cheated on her. I guess she thinks all men do that.

Call me boring, but I have a mind that is easily distracted. So I don't turn anything on. I like to keep my full attention to the task at hand. But when I'm not reloading, I like Rush, Tool, good classic rock, 90s alternative, metal, classical, and country (as long as it's not some of the new bubble gum ****).

If things get technical I shut the tunes off. On lighter days just casting, sizing, case prep, etc. I'll do gun related podcasts or Trop (tropical) Rock (beach/Buffett style music). My last boat was named Island Music and I've been a Trop Rock fan since 1980 or so.

Mainly podcasts .i.e. Adam Carolla, Gun Talk, The Infinite Monkey Cage, etc. Also audio books. Musically, like classic rock, most rock, classical music, blues, and trying to discover country songs I might like. I try to be open to different genres but I find I don't care much for jazz, rap, hip hop, punk, death metal, or pop music.

The problem was that I kept finding myself so engrossed in listening to the book that I wasn't doing anything in the shop...just sitting there waiting for the next shoe to drop.

My Dillon 550 is a different story, got some Uniqutek lights for it and it is lit up like the surface of the Sun. Love to listen to audiobooks about drug cartels. I like newer rock, like the White Strips and Blackkeys. Lots of classic rock or early electric blues. Not much country or pop. I’m too old and too white to be cool. Do like some Gangsta Rap.

Going back a few years I'd listen to Phillies on AM radio in the summer time...but lately it's been too painful :cry:
I am from Texas and the Rangers are my team. But a good friend of my wife's has a son pitching on the Phillies, Jake Thompson, so I watch and root for the Phillies whenever he pitches. Which has not been a whole lot yet but hopefully that is going to change. Then the Phillies went and hired one of my favorite Rangers ever, Gabe Kapler, as their manager. Gabe was only a Ranger for 2 years about 15 years ago but he could still have a talk show here if he wanted. So now I gotta root for the Phillies whenever they aren't playing the Rangers. So listen to the Phillies whenever you are reloading. I know I will be whenever I can get it on the Radio.
