Gotta Love The Floyd
What goes together better than space rock and TIG?
Keep the ear plugs in tunes cranked!

Canuck:
Bowie- A space oddity, ground control to major tom! Well you said space rock!
Peace,

When I hear a song I LOVE to play come on the stereo, the tig torch goes down, and the ESP 5string bass comes out into the shop. Or the air-bass guitar, whichever is handier.

Out of all the comments - this is the one I most agree with - as Floyd is my FAV band of all time. My son is named after David Gilmour!

Jazz, rhythm & blues from the 50's mostly, but I also like the eagles, CCR, ZZ Top, etc.....and sometimes just the welding noise is enough to keep me happy

Leons2003,

I think you and I should start a movement to ban that Trading Spaces travesty from TV. I've never seen people trash decent living quarters like that and get away with calling it entertainment! I probably wouldn't care so much, except the wife is into the thing, and watches the re-runs endlessly. It's scary to me how much crap they air-nail or staple to the drywall!

80's hair bands = Heavy Metal, for me. old AC/DC, Poison, Motley Crue, Scorions, Dio, Ozzy, Triumph, & sooooo many others of that ilk. also Hard Rock & country rock, Allman Bro's, Zepplin, Who, Black Sabbath, Skynard, etc. some clasic rock. then there is the new stuff, Nickle back, Velvet Revolver, Tool, Metalica, etc . i mostly just put the radio on, and weld while they play the tunes i don't much care for, or heard a million times, = most of the time. but when a KICK A$$ tune comes on, torch goes down and volume goes up .

If you can give yourself a concussion by nodding to it, then it's the right stuff.

I was always told that if it doesn't make your ears bleed, then it ain't worth listening to.

FWIW, I always wished I had a radio on my skid steer. The thing has a good sized Cummins right behind me. So, without an enclosed cab, I couldn't hear it any way. One day at Home Depot, I saw the A/O Safety Work Tunes. Noise protection and tunes all rolled up into one package. $50 I gave them a whirl. They do work well with the noise. The radio can't get loud enough to prevent you from hearing important things around you, but loud enough that I don't have to listen to my ears ring. I use them all the time. They worked great with my big concrete saw too. That thing will wake the dead. The only drawback so far is the ear muffs are vinyl and get very hot in the summer. Other than that, they were a good purchase.

LMAO, Isn't it the truth, I guess not a bad trade-off since I generally have racing, hunting or music on the set in the garage, or B-room.
She comes through and changes to that garbage ch., currently it is on all three sets at this time, not to worry, she is heading out shortly, LOL. I certainly would not want to upset Mrs.Squarehead.
BTW, Alex You remember what ZZTop's original name was?
Course this was earlier in your YOUNG life.
Good day all,
L*S

[Canuck]

David Gilmour is the master and the most underrated guitarist around.
And I do think David Bowie is pretty spacey but just can't compare to Pink Floyd.

[bigwelder]

any thing rap

[Alex]

another name for ZZ Top?

Leon,
I've been listenin' to those boys since the 60s, since Rio Grande Mud, but at that time I was livin' in California. I've never known them by any other name.

But, I forgot some others that deserve mention as excellent welding music, like George Thorogood and Ted Nugent.
