What's your 'Get Shit Done' tune?

rooster · Oct 2011

A bit different to the 'what are you listening to' thread, I'd like to know what one or two main tunes do you throw on with the volume up when you're up against it and really need to Get Shit Done?

please recommend me some hi-octane 'kick up the arse' deadline-smashing tunes! (any genre)

To kick off, I'll begin with what I tend to come back to again and again:

The Planets

I also used to listen to hours of Pink Floyd during modeling

When it's about programming though, I find this song great

frell, I'm liking the flash of the blade suggestion but it'll be Iron Maiden playing if I'm listening

MainManiac · Oct 2011

I just like avenged sevenfolds version of the chorus :P

crazyfool · Oct 2011

Yea I work in silence when stuff needs to get done. Just helps me concentrate and not lose track of time. If Im stressing out I usually put on my huge mix of tracks or listen to the ricky gervais podcasts haha.

these are goodens for me though

The epic music I listen to to get shit done, is this thread.

I AM PUUUUUUUUMPED!!!

leilei · Oct 2011

Unfortunately before I get to do shit I sometimes spend too much time trying to find the get shit done music rather than doing the shit I should do.

this calls for a 'GetShitDone FM' internats station or YT playlist somehow

Oh man I love this thread!

I've got a massive playlist of all the songs I like that I listen to most often and then I've got another one for my favorite up-beat songs that really help me concentrate and keep me motivated if I need to knuckle down. My tastes are pretty eclectic but I try to keep the beat happy or fast with positive or inspiring lyrics. I don't have access to youtube here at work, so have a few spotify links:

The Glitch Mob Warrior Concerto

Shakira featuring Freshlyground Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) (The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup (TM) Song)

Michael Franti & Spearhead Say Hey (I Love You)

Rosemary Clooney Mambo Italiano

I generally don't listen to this type of music (more towards electronic sounds: bitpop, dubstep, etc) but a friend mentioned it to me once and for some reason it just clicks. Can zone out for hours on this - and then suddenly it's 7AM...
