I mostly hear some stoner rock like Kyuss , Unida , Slo Burn or other rock bands like Queens of the Stone Age , Soundgarden or Wolfmother . But sometimes I also like to hear something different : then I go to Rage Against The Machine or some songs of the Peppers.

Online: Classical (almost exclusively)

Home games: Whatever people bring that isn't too distracting.

I have a computer next to the table and always fire up Live365 Internet Radio - Thousands of Free Online Radio Stations and type in a single band I want to hear. I usually find that one of the first stations displayed is also playing everything I want to hear that night (Janes Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins, etc).

Evil and Matthew always play XM radio 80's (Matthew) or modern metal\rock (Evil).

Checkout "Pandora" - it's free internet radio - you can create as many "stations" as you want by seeding each one with an artist or song. It then will analyze the music and search for stuff with similar characteristics (Music Genome Project). For each song, you can give it a thumbs up (find more like this), a thumbs down (don't like), or even don't play this song for a month.

I have an ipod that I hook up to an ipal. I put a mix of everything from ABBA to the Violent Femmes on my poker play list, and everything in between. Then I just set it to scramble, and I never know what we're going to get.

Lately I found that Bossa Nova has helped me stay calm and patient when I play either live or online poker. Try Some Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stan Getz, Charlie Bird. It definitely will help cope and sooth with some bad beats. To me I like the music because it's international, jet setting, and well orchestrated.

you got it. I need technoish music with constant drawn out beats when Im playing poker. It keeps me stimulated and pumped without distracting me from thinking.

My favs are chromeo, daft punk, and crystal method.

You're in my head. Jobim, Getz, Bird - all amazing. Never really considered them great for poker, but why not?

In our regular meeting, we play a little of everything. Every once in a while there is some heavy metal mixed in case you are having a bad day at the table.
