When I am painting, I like to settle down to the rousing melodies of bands like Bad Religion, Social Distortion, The Street Dogs, The Real McKenzies, or The Dropkick Murphies. What kind of music do you paint your miniatures to? Classical, Rock and Roll, Big Band and Melodies of the 1940's? Come on, confess – you secretly love the Go-Gos or the Bangles! What is the soundtrack of your miniatures life?
Enquiring minds want to know! |

Normally XM Radio's Home Plate channel. However you can also find me from time to time listening to a 70's list or my  list from my computer. It keeps the wife away when I need the solitude… |

Isnt Wagner traditional? Or is this the wrong period fro that I guess |
Frederick  | 09 Dec 2009 12:18 p.m. PST |
While I like Lili Marleen (the one by Marlene Dietrich, not the original by Lale Anderson and definately not the one by Vera Lynn) my choice would be Handel Wrong period I know, but it keeps me to task |

I like the soundtrack CDs from Ken Burns' THE WAR. It's basically a bunch of classic swing hits from the late 30's-early 40's that were played on the radio both at home and for soldiers on the from during the war. It creates a nice period feel. <sigh> My painting still sux, but at least I get the music right. |
 Der Alte Fritz  | 09 Dec 2009 12:25 p.m. PST |
Big Band music and Swing music should get you in the mood. |
| Waterloo | 09 Dec 2009 12:42 p.m. PST |
Either classical or hockey/baseball games. |
| Jovian1 | 09 Dec 2009 12:43 p.m. PST |
I'm painting – does it matter which music I listen to when painting figures? I listen to anything and everything, from movies, soundtracks, and music (preferring rock, metal, classical, and other selected works thrown into the mix). |

I turn on the TV for background noise, and Bill O'Reilly certainly qualifies as background noise.  |
| PKay Inc | 09 Dec 2009 12:48 p.m. PST |
Puddle of Mudd, Seether, 3 Days Grace, Shinedown. Not period music but it keeps the brush flying! |
| Brother Tiberius | 09 Dec 2009 12:51 p.m. PST |
The Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. Actually, it's reliable in just about all situations. |
| snodipous | 09 Dec 2009 12:59 p.m. PST |
Audiobooks. Lots of audiobooks. |
| Bayonet | 09 Dec 2009 1:06 p.m. PST |

Christmas time I work to christmas oldies
Sad I know. After that just any old pop that comes to mind. |
| Feet up now | 09 Dec 2009 2:42 p.m. PST |
symphonic metal is good for a load of mini painting with classical good for historicals.Watching movies relating to the paint topic can be inspirational too.
although I find tiptoe through the tulips good for High elves :) |
| DeanMoto | 09 Dec 2009 3:13 p.m. PST |
For painting Germans – the "Battle of the Bulge" Panzerlied clip is appropriate; for painting Americans – George C. Scott at the opening of "Patton" should set the mood. |
| Tankrider | 09 Dec 2009 3:29 p.m. PST |
SSSKKKKYYYYYNNNNNYYYYRRRRDDDDDD!! |
| Jakse375 | 09 Dec 2009 3:55 p.m. PST |

| Lentulus | 09 Dec 2009 5:37 p.m. PST |
Period marching songs – for WWII mostly Russian, even though I mostly command Germans. I have other play-lists for other periods. |
| Cosmic Reset | 09 Dec 2009 5:42 p.m. PST |
While scratch-building rather than painting lately, a weird mix; Niyaz, Loreena Mckennitt, Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and Franky Laine. |

| Mortis57 | 10 Dec 2009 4:22 a.m. PST |
Well yesterday it was mostly Anti Nowhere League, Conflict, Uk Subs, Stiff Little Fingers, GBH, and the Subhumans. Basically it was Media Monkey on shuffle. |
| Cerdic | 10 Dec 2009 6:18 a.m. PST |
Ride of the Valkyries is surely the ONLY choice! |
| TodCreasey | 10 Dec 2009 8:11 a.m. PST |
Red Army Chorus is great in general for painting. But normally I am watching the soccer or rugby while painting. |
| dmebust | 10 Dec 2009 8:12 a.m. PST |
No music, put in the VHS tape of Combat episodes and have at it. |

Sabatons CD "The ARt of War" is great; track 2 "Ghost Division" is about 7 Pz! |
| Flat Beer and Cold Pizza | 12 Dec 2009 6:09 p.m. PST |
I have my own little playlist:
Soundtrack from Patton
Themes from:
The Guns of Navarone
Force 10 from Navarone
Empire of the Sun
Tora! Tora! Tora!
A bridge too far
Bridge over the River Quai
The Great Escape (Elmer Bernstein was a genius!)
Opening theme from "The World at War"
"The Red army is the strongest" by the Red Army Choir
The Blue Max (I'll second that one!) Or, when I paint the Hun, there's a "Deutsche Armee Potpourri" (or something like that) on Youtube of original Wehrmacht marching tunes, done in 1943 I think. |
