Ask HN: What music motivates you? Any genre. Go.
Trying to make a new playlist on Spotify for the Summer, a lot of work to be done and a lot of fun to be had.

Artist: Soundgarden. Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, and Down on the Upside, specifically.
Devo is my go to for programming music (Freedom of Choice, New Traditionalists, Oh No! It's Devo). Not gonna lie, you may well hate them, but for whatever reason Devo works for me when I'm trying to focus.
Also a big fan of the album Love by The Cult and pretty much anything by David Bowie or Rush. For newer stuff, Zero 7's Simple Things is really chill. Also, if you're really looking to zone out to something esoteric, Bethany Curve and Children of the Bong are nicely mellow. The album Who's Next by The Who is also great. Guess I'm just dumping my Spotify playlist out at this point, pick and choose what you want? :)

I have an entire playlist dedicated to folk-metal drinking songs, enjoy - http://open.spotify.com/user/shortkid422/playlist/2uNWN1AEQO...
I had no idea such a genre existed, and I think you've just made my day. Thank you for this.
Things currently heavy in my rotation (in the format of Band : Album(s)):
- Murder By Death : Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon, Red of Tooth and Claw
- Strike Anywhere : Exit English
- AFI : Burials
- Circa Survive : Blue Sky Noise
- The Raveonettes : In and Out of ControlI really enjoy Vince Guaraldi. It has it all for me to stay motivated and positive throughout the day -- fun, but not too loud for work, nostalgic and, well, it just gives me a happy feeling.
"Ceiling Unlimited", by Rush.
Boss tunes...
