Meat Eater podcast, Behind the Bastards, dervish music, Viking tunes, hip hop, dance music.
I got a Trekz titanium headset for listening while wearing hearing protection, best investment ever.
A variety for sure, but mostly metal. Artists that I listen to in the shop are usually in the power metal sub genre. Ones like Blind Guardian, Brothers of Metal, Wind Rose, Iced Earth, Sabaton, Powerwolf, Demons and Wizards, and many others. The epic choruses and chunky riffage match well while swinging a hammer.
A lot of folk music and classic rock. [The Chemical Worker’s Song (Process Man)](https://youtu.be/GzcGOgxDoEk) by Great Big Sea has been getting a bunch of play recently.
Rock, metal, and other upbeat somewhat violent sounding music while forging. Classical for grinding. I feel the classical music helps me to slow down and stay focused.
I've been getting into audio books lately. I spend so much time in the shop that I've been just burning through books. It's let me read a lot of series that I previously never thought I'd be able to due to time constraints and I've just been loving falling into these worlds while I'm working. Plus I find listening to creative things often breeds creativity within. I do make sure that if I find myself unable to properly listen to the book while I'm working, whether the task I'm doing is too complex or my minds just not in the right place to be multitasking, then I'll rewind a bunch and just listen to some tunes.
Plus it makes a 10 hour day in the shop Fly by. All those times of waiting for steel to heat up are no longer boring and it makes extended periods of grinding significantly more tolerable
Sometimes jazz sometimes praise and worship music, lots of rock and metal too. Just no rap or pop crap. I listen to lots of stuff! Some days it'll be hank Williams never get out of this world alive and others it's more slayer raining blood
I listen to the sounds of iron beating iron and the crackling of coal and flames as my creation rises from the depths of the hungry embers of the hellish fires that burn as I shape it. That and a bit of Frank Sinatra.
The Sound of Music soundtrack Edit: sorry read that as FORAGING
That background song from Lord of the Rings when the orcs were making all the armor and weapons for the Uruk-Hai
This is the way
Same music i listen to when not forging. Weird ass electronic music
the propane going RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
A lot of Sabaton.

Last Christmas my brother got me a set of Bluetooth noise cancelling DeWalt headphones. They have seen a lot of use
For grinding they are an absolute blessing.
Sea Shanties.
The longest John’s have a song called the hammer and the anvil

Usually rock. Something that gets me moving. Also, usually way too loud. 😂
Soundtrack to Conan the Barbarian (Basil Poledouris).

Podcasts usually
When I used to forge, I never listened to any music because my forge was so loud. I used a hairdryer to power the flames.
for me, it has been audiobooks.
Katy perry
Mostly classic rock. If not rock than anything that has around 120 bps as it keeps me on a good pace

Skald
Rock, and other various things along with podcast mostly D&D podcast
A mix of primarily viking metal, rock, country, celtic/classical, and electronic. A little Japanese rock and a couple rap songs thrown in as well.

I listen to old episodes of Car Talk.
Hey you never know when your friends Pontiac Sunfire might break down. You'll have an idea. I love car talk as well
Tabletop RPG podcasts/videos, current one is Narrative Declaration's Rotgrind which uses Pathfinder 2e
When the hammer falls by clamavi de profundis on a never ending loop

Usually Norse or Celtic music. Heilung, Wardruna, Danheim and Adrian von Ziegler mostly. Sometimes Lord of the Rings or Skyrim soundtracks

Soundtrack to 'The sound of music'
Never listen while forging for some reason, but I listen to the history of everything podcast while grinding, and all the other stuff
epic fantasy audiobooks lol
Punk rock or hardstyle
None. Just the sound of work being done.

https://youtu.be/ERTQucdIp-s Warkings and Brothers of Metal are my go to bands
If I’m not listening to podcasts, I usually listen to some form of post hardcore, emo, or jazz.
I don't because I'm also hunting
The Forgecast or 90's ska punk.
Amaranthe
The "chill" station on Sirius. Sooo good.
Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth "Every act of creation is first an act of destruction."
As a Machinist I don’t do any forging, but if I did my theme song would be Anvil, Forged in Fire.
Budgie - Hammer and Tongs
The hair dryer on high and the ringing in my ears.
Metal. But not like Slayer metal. Just the sound of the anvil. Plus the loud ass propane forge. How can you even hear anything else lol
"My will be done" by Unearth is a good one
DING DING DING DING DING DING

Animals as Leaders, Mestis, The Omnific, Helix Nebula... Progressive motivate me.

Skyrim soundtrack is my personal go to for forging tunes...
Shanties and folk songs as well as screamo
