I thought this might be fun so:
What music do you listen to while you play poker? (Be it online or live)

For myself, I've recently started listening to Radiohead's OK Computer while I play on PStars, but when I play live I prefer to listen to Jedi Mind Tricks.

I listen to anything alternative... usually I listen to mellow relaxed music when I'm on a streak of beats and when I'm kicking a$$ I'll switch it to something that will get me pumped

I basically listen to anything that isn't country music.

Lots of Van Morrison. Ray Charles, baby. Johnny Cash. Lots of Buffalo local Alison Pipitone (more). Emmy Lou Harris. Lots and lots and lots of blues. Solomon Burke. Jimi and Dlyan and Stones. Peter Gabriel. Throw in some Rage Against the Machine, Nas, Tribe Called Quest, Violent Femmes, Beastie Boys, Pretenders, and the Clash to mix it up. Add Warren Zevon, Sam Cooke, and Elvis Costello, just to make it eclectic ;).

Queen is actually another great choice. A Tribe Called Quest is also up there.

ty ! [and I wasn't even done editing]

(check out Pipitone, she rocks!)

Just did - will listen to some more songs tomorrow, sounds promising.

Ever seen Van Morrison live? I got to see him in Dublin a few years ago - was fantastic.

In no parrtcular order: Grateful Dead, Johny Cash, John Hartford, the songs of Billy Joe Shaver(performed by anyone), Jorma Kaukonenm and Utah Phillips, who wrote arguably the best poker tune ever; Aces Straights, and Flushes
