Is There a Good Music Selection for Numismatic Research?

I have Mary Chapin Carpenter on right now and she is not helping very much.

Van Morrison.

YOU 2, huh ?

Keep Lookin'

mgoodm3 · March 25, 2009 1:22PM

I prefer slipknot

Geoman · March 25, 2009 1:23PM

Aaron Copland.......................good choice.

I also enjoy Rachmanioff.

TwoSides2aCoin · March 25, 2009 1:26PM

This is still the best I've found for nostalgia and free music online.

Woooo Woooooo

I asked my ex wife to marry me after a Mary Chapin Carpenter concert. She was a bit of a one-album wonder...MCC, not my ex.

Try some Trace Adkins if you're looking for something more sophisticated. He also has wedding advice.

Grateful Dead works for just about everything. I would rather shave my head with a cheese grater than listen to MCC.

thisnamztaken · March 25, 2009 1:34PM

Ravel's Bolero would work nicely.

I am not feeling a lot of love here.

When the book comes out, you can blame the parts you don't like on MCC

My thought exactly.....we have discussed that before!!

BBN · March 25, 2009 1:55PM

when I used to powerlift I preferred Pantera and Hatebreed. Now I can't lift so coin collecting is my only hobby. I chill with my 19th century types with a tall cup of plain black Starbuck's Expresso and a dose of Norah Jones and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.

Several music selections come to mind for coin research, he Gorillaz, The Moody Blues, Bob Marley, Alice n Chains, or maybe some Albert King.

For numismatic research? Try Brahms (especially his third symphony). When I am having trouble writing, this is the piece that I listen to most often. It is my personal favorite.

VirtualWon · March 25, 2009 2:53PM

Did we forget the BEATLES

Money

Penny

Rich

Buy

and others like

Another rich

more Money

and this is just scrathing the surface I could do this the rest of the week easy

Three Penny Opera

JupitarCoins · March 25, 2009 8:22PM

How about the song money by Pink Floyd, a great classic.

ChangeInHistory · March 25, 2009 9:49PM

Anything with an Adagio (walking) tempo is good background for studying or research. I often play background music with that tempo for my classes. Surprisingly effective.

RWB · March 25, 2009 11:37PM

Charles Ives, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Benjamin Britten, Dvorak, Wagner, Richard Strauss, etc.

Coinosaurus · March 25, 2009 11:52PM

<< Charles Ives, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Benjamin Britten, Dvorak, Wagner, Richard Strauss, etc. >>

Ooooooooooh. That explains a lot

Longacre · March 26, 2009 2:18AM

The Rolling Stones. You have to admire a man who has not combed his hair since 1965.

BECOKA · March 26, 2009 2:20AM

For me it's Queen or the Complete works 170 CD set of Mozart

KentuckyJ · March 26, 2009 2:27AM

Coinosaurus,
It all depends on which Mary Chapin songs you're listening to. Many of her tunes are superb. Her recent work is scattered with gems. I think she has freed herself from the need to be a commercial success.

I like using a favorite song as a mantra, letting it play on repeat. This can take you beyond the song into a space that may well be conducive to academic research

TwoSides2aCoin · March 26, 2009 2:36AM

<< Charles Ives, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Benjamin Britten, Dvorak, Wagner, Richard Strauss, etc. >>

I like George Gershwin , Tommy Dorsey, Glen Miller and Nickelback, too.

Shamika · March 26, 2009 2:45AM

Tom Waits or John Lee Hooker

Staircoins · March 26, 2009 6:00AM

None better...

The Moody Blues

derryb · March 26, 2009 7:55AM

Mozart, very loud

cladking · March 26, 2009 8:39AM

You don't need to when you cut it with a cheese grater.
