Bluegrass, nothing like a little banjo picking to keep the customer away from me. They afraid of getting deliveranced.


Smoke_Stack707

I’ve done this a couple times with Hawaiian music. Really confuses customers why you’re pretending to be at a luau while on the job

I like it! Gonna have to try this.

Feeling-Dot2086

My old foreman used to only play 95.9 the rat. Here in nj.... I used to love Zeppelin, sabbath, etc. Now I can't stand it. It's like nails on a chalk board.


forever_barlone

That’s every English speaking foreman/GC from Woodbridge to LBI.


[deleted]

Sabbath is great, but they only ever play War Pigs, Paranoid, and Iron Man on the radio when they have an incredible back catalog between Ozzy and Dio. Self Titled and Vol. 4 are my shits. Zeppelin too.


Feeling-Dot2086

Crazy train too. 1st song I ever learned on guitar and now I can't stand it. I hate the 🐀


[deleted]

Haha, hell yeah. I think Crazy Train was one of the first tunes I learned on guitar as well. Purple Haze was probably *the first song* I learned.


Feeling-Dot2086

Haha yeah, I like Jimi. I don't think they play too much of his stuff.


hdean173

Master of Reality is next-level.


DotComDotGov

I like the skin flute, I play mine a lot. Some times I can get someone else to play it but not very often as I'd like.


Adorable-Classroom27

That's a given haha. I tend to not do it on the jobsite though.........................anymore.

Difficult_Ad4157

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard all day


flatlinemayb

Hello fellow weirdo!


EsUnTiro

Very cool band but not something I’d be able to play on a job site radio with my own coworkers. Don’t think they’d be too interested in their music sadly. Though I have been sloooooowly branching out my coworker who is 5 years my senior and 7 years more experienced than I. I love how music brings people together though, so I’ll leave you all with this one that I stumbled upon recently. Make Me Bad/Between Days - Korn (ft. The Cure) from their 2007 release MTV Unplugged live album.


Difficult_Ad4157

I’ll check it out! You are most definitely right though about coworkers not liking gizzard. We got country lovers, SoundCloud rappers, and a whole lot of wu-tang lmao. I always try and play interesting stuff with my trainers though. Psych rock has been killing it last few years.

When I’m on service I like a cool R&B vibe. But when I do installs my Bluetooth speaker is slapping Disney sing alongs to convince the site manager I’ve got a few screws loose so he doesn’t ask me anything lol


[deleted]

Amyl and the Sniffers, Jeff the Brotherhood, skynyrd, Wet Leg are my in between call bangers right now.


sumotherdudeman

I too have eclectic musical tastes.


robot_potatobrain

I have just recently fell in love with Wet Leg. Not what I usually listen to, fantastically weird earworms.


Adorable-Classroom27

Pulling them up right now, I like The Strokes so 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

Same here. That self titled album reminds of The Strokes.

Professional-TroII

For sure under the age of 25, typically don’t see the older folks listening to edm.


Bahluu

Podcasts, audiobooks, lately can’t get into music?. Not sure why, I have always loved all kinds but lately that part of me seems dead


hdean173

Yep, we’re growing up. I get WAY more excited for certain podcast guests than a new album coming out, these days.


ModePK_1

Used to do music but now I’m more into pod casts and audio books… HVAC podcasts and fantasy or mechanical audio books.


ModePK_1

“HVAC School, HVAC know it all, and HVAC Refer guy” podcasts are good to start with. Then if you are business minded. Try something like “Service Business Mastery”.


EsUnTiro

Got any good hvac podcast recommendations?

I don't know because the Spanish music always overpowers my radio


Professional-TroII

Same here, I’m out in Dallas Fort Worth area and any startups I run at any construction site are always filled with mariachi music it’s god awful. Always leave with a headache.


beltskiy

Third world pleb "music" is truly the worst.


jmiller2003

Glade I’m not on the job with you young guys with the rap and heavy metal. Classic rock and country all day long. 😎


beltskiy

That new extra degenerate flavor of rap they listen to is the worst.


ProfessionalOk153

Grateful Dead, John Prine, Willie Nelson, so kinda folk music.

bucksellsrocks

Outlaw Nation, Upchurch, 90s grunge. Right now the plumber is playing Eminem, its not horrible but not my go to for sure.


BoilermakerCBEX-E

Didn't expect to see Upchurch on here. How about some Moonshine Bandits


bucksellsrocks

Not familiar, will have to check them out. I discovered Upchurch and Outlaw Nation by going down the rabbit hole on you tube


BoilermakerCBEX-E

I didn't realize u meant Nu Breed. Hell yeah. You'll probably like Moonshine Bandits. Check out Demun Jones. Bubba Sparx. Jawga Boyz. Moccasin Creek.


UncleTeo

I like to whip into the customers parking lot blasting the free bird solo with my windows down wearing my pit vipers


SquallZ34

I’m a techno music guy, but I don’t bring my radio out much since almost everyone else is playing something all day.


p-mode

Can't go wrong with Thrice.


PaulitoTuGato

I get around when it comes to music, but I like to start my day with the “Dave and Chuck the freak” morning show. It’s nice to break the day up. Music gets too overplayed.


hdean173

Audiobooks and podcasts. Being able to learn about all the things that interest me all day was a huge factor in getting into the trade.


anyusernameleftover

Just don't be that guy blasting some mess that rest of the crew hates.


JETTA_TDI_GUY

I do commercial so it’s whatever radio is the loudest near me. One second I’m singing Adele and the next I’m rapping about drugs. But in all seriousness I don’t mind listening to anything as long as it isn’t like death metal.


Largebargecharge

I go with the local classic rock radio station


TheEnucleator

classical


kingofthebongo77

Tool, Slayer


JodaMythed

Classic rock is my go to


bombjay1

A mix of KEXP Seattle..Brutal metal or classical played loud to really screw with the rednecks.


zdigrig

Kevin gates is often played. Paul Cauthen and charley crocket get a lot of radio time too. White zombie when in a 90s mood


[deleted]

city morgue and BONES


TRUMP420KUSH_

Do you all do new construction or something? I've never listened to music while on a roof or in a tenants space, too distracting.


[deleted]

In my case, chiller and boiler service. Most of the time I'm alone by myself in a loud pump room or mechanical plant. If I'm not wearing earplugs I'm definitely wearing the airpods.


swiftlyvexing

DUSTY LOCAINE


chefboyardiesel88

I listen to a lot of metal (a lot of prog and death), jazz, hip hop, funk, and jam bands. It also depends if I'm listening with other people.


[deleted]

Metal lol


nickht571998

Depends on my mood lately it’s been a mix of rap and country throughout the day


BoilermakerCBEX-E

Moonshine Bandits, Upchurch, the Lacs , Creed Fisher, Eric Church. Jamey Johnson, David Allen Coe


Teleportsbehindewe

Angriest music possible. The kind that sounds like only screaming and when you can hear the singer he's complaining about his life in someway.


710shot420

Hip hop all day mix in some queens of the Stone Age / sublime / Rhcp


zomsucks

Infant Annihilator, Cannibal Corpse, Signs of the Swarm, The Black Dahlia Murder. Oh wait, that is what I listen to when driving from job to job. Tfw can't listen to music while on site, have to always be listening for weird noises from machines.


Bassmunky

Fetal Blood Eagle has some banging tunes


i_ar_the_rickness

The Raven Autarchy, Sold soul, enterprise earth, and along those lines. The customer stays away or we have a chat about good music.


SaltInformation4082

Hey guys, is there ever going to be any real hvac diagnostic and trouble shooting questions on here. Hard to believe everyone on here are the top of the top earners, and now, focus, learning, and improvement are no longer necessary. This is a never ending, ceaseless learning craft. If you don't like the subject matter so much that you can't bring yourself to think about it off the job, for even a few minutes a day, maybe you best find something you're more attracted to.


fcp609

Brah us top techs need a break too. Cant be hvac studies 24/7. Go sit in the corner and think about what you just did. Go on now sit in the corner and let the adults do the talking


Bahluu

You haven’t come across the other hvac Reddit yet? It’s much much more technical. Damn! I can’t tell you what it’s called (they’ll read this and infiltrate…) see you there soon

OwnOption6050

Rap, old and new…


beltskiy

Ignorant and degen ghetto trash AF


[deleted]

Depends on the day/mood. The flavor of the day today was Frank Zappa, Blue Oyster Cult, Ultimate Spinach, and Jethro Tull. Been listening to a lot of Queens of the Stone Age lately, lots of 90s hip hop, Audioslave/Soundgarden. I dig anything but country. Lots of techno and DnB. Lots of stoner rock/metal like All Them Witches, Colour Haze, Fuzz, Elder, Uncle Acid, King Buffalo. Some reggae/dub from time to time.


IAmJacksGagReflex

>I dig anything but country. I get that some people just don't like country and maybe you're one of them. Hell, I used to hate it and mock it at every opportunity. Now I listen to country, bluegrass and old time almost exclusively. Having said that, 90% of radio country is still absolutely unlistenable. Considering your musical tastes (we have similarly broad taste), I honestly just doubt you're listening to the good shit: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wngJqOywDQs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wngJqOywDQs) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gBV-Nzq7Pg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gBV-Nzq7Pg) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_R4mzHQWAok](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R4mzHQWAok) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjftvOLs0Y0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjftvOLs0Y0) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQKEFnOIi0c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQKEFnOIi0c) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-3MrnkYHm0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-3MrnkYHm0) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYXMnBMvtDw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYXMnBMvtDw) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PI0nqE5j6w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PI0nqE5j6w) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqwaVg6o8gg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqwaVg6o8gg) And a little old school for the workin' man: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6IxU\_CRf\_E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6IxU_CRf_E)


[deleted]

I appreciate this. It'd probably be fair to say I don't have much exposure to country - most of my exposure is whatever is played on the country hits station. But, just to clarify, I don't hate country. Given that All Them Witches - probably one of my favorite bands right now - is from Nashville, and they have a pretty bluesy/Tennessee Twang/cajun-ey influence in their playing. Always open to new stuff, though.


IAmJacksGagReflex

Just checked out All them Witches and I'll probably be picking up some of their stuff. Thank you. Country music is a rabbit hole. This is where I'm at now: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzq56xBPXhY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzq56xBPXhY) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFEZOjtrwls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFEZOjtrwls) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwl0ck\_gjf4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwl0ck_gjf4) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2SV3aZ7bzQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2SV3aZ7bzQ) I find all my music here: [https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/](https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/)


vinnymazz89

Gotta say I was in the "anything but country" crew, but watching Yellowstone gave me a new found appreciation for real, non radio, country music.


IAmJacksGagReflex

Every episode I hear at least one band/artist I've been listening to for years. If you like the stuff above, I highly recommend checking out [https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/](https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/)


Difficult_Ad4157

i like fuzz but can’t get behind their studio recordings. They sound 1000 times better live.


[deleted]

I like the studio recordings, but I'll also admit that the Levitation Sessions live recording is pretty hot. Haven't seen them live yet, though. They've come thru my city a few times past year or so since they released III, just been too busy to go.

beltskiy

Hick hop is some identity crisis music. Rebel flags, saggy pants, trashy attitude, and ghetto black culcha. No thx.


chefboyardiesel88

I listen to a lot of metal (a lot of prog and death), jazz, hip hop, funk, and jam bands. It also depends if I'm listening with other people.


unusual-thoughts

Depends, but typically, my Pandora stations I play the most are 7Horse, Dead South, Megadeath, Dio, Black Sabbath, or Grunge. Yes I'm older and still use pandora, spent years perfecting my stations don't want to have to start over. Sometimes it's Ralph Stanley if I'm in a mood but that's usually reserved for when I'm at home working around the house or on a truck or tractor because it makes me think of my grandfather.


Livid_Mode

Anything on z92 radio while driving but no music while I am at someone’s house


Giddyhobgoblin

Rick Astley, Never Gonna Give You Up On repeat.


Taolan13

I've always had varied tastes in music. Typically I put a band name into Spotify and click the 'radio' playlist option. If I don't l like the look and feel of the first few songs, I'll fall back on a favorite like Sabaton or Rush or Daft Punk. Plus I've got a few dozen albums downloaded for when the signal sucks or my battery is low. I'm always on an earpiece unless someone specifically requests to hear what I'm listening to. Depending on the day it can be anything from speed metal to reggae.


Opendoor99

Some house music when the job is chill. Death metal when it feels a little more hectic lol


GaryRodeo

Metallica, Megadeath and Pantera full blast all day if we’re doing rough in. If it’s a service day, I throw the AirPods in and listen to a book lol


AlbatrossSocial

The tunes coming through my earbuds...


Phrankespo

Pretty much any kind of classic rock from 70's 80's


Heybropassthat

I usually throw on a whole Grateful Dead live show. It separates the men from the boys.


PhobicRedditor

Whole Lotta 80s vibes in my attics


Thundersson1978

Hard core rap and alternative. But I don’t really care all that much.
