So what music style do you use to tie flies? I find I use different styles depending on how many I am going to tie. For my recent ties I've used these CDs:
Short time - only sitting down to do a couple flies - I've been using some harder music like Naked Raygun's "Jettison", The Sisters of Mercy's "Vision Thing", and old Midnight Oil's "Red Sails in the Sunset
For filling my boxes one section at a time (8-10 flies) I've been playing more of my "old standby" music from my college years - The Church, Love & Rockets, REM, etc.
For my lengthy times - which have been the majority of the time recently with the swap, loosing the fantasy football league, and tying an entire box for a charity auction, I have been using some classical music and musical soundtracks... In particular Mozart 12 and 21 (Elvira Madigan and Radu Lupu). I certainly am not a classical aficionado, but I do enjoy both of these. Also I have been wearing out my Les Miserable soundtrack...THE best musical, period, in my opinion. When I have to get into that tying "groove" these seem to let me focus the best.
