Whether it’s head-banging metal or smooth Jazz or a melodic and nasal singer-songwriter vibe, we all need a soundtrack of life. For me it depends on whether i am brainstorming or being focused; Rock for brainstorming, acoustic or singer-songwriter for focus.
I am a little old-school so some Led Zepplin, AC/DC or Aerosmith will start me up (oh yeah, the Rolling Stones too). But i am just as moved by Beck or Kid Rock when i want to get my body and mind in motion. For deep-thinking or focused attention i look for something with out the bumping bass or crashing drums. Something more fluid and without a voice that calls attention to itself (no Bob Dylan here…).
What are your favorite tunes for jump-starting your brain? For focusing?
