Had a simi-heated debate with my father-in-law over the weekend about if you should listen to music while you work. He was 110% against having any music playing anywhere near the shop or anyone doing any work. I can understand this if it takes away from the quality of the workmanship or if it could be a safety hazard. But that said I listen to music while I'm working. Granted I work alone so I'm not bugging anyone but me and I've noticed when I'm really concentrating on something I don't even hear it. I also find if I don’t have some background noise I don’t work as well.
So here's my question, do you listen to music in the shop/while you work and if so what type? Me, I'm a blues man.
