R&P- is there a song you enjoy with a particular rhythm or beat that helps you get stuff done?

Question

Like at work, or washing the car for example.

I think it's clear enough, but let me know if you want an example :)

Heya, dude. I'm thinking it has lots to do with what you wanna do. Some things can use a fast aggressive tune, where force and no particular precision is needed (like demolition, etc.) for a while. Other things may be covered OK by a "happier", medium-pace thing, when you need a sustained effort for a while (like cooking/cleaning, etc.). Still others, the really dicey stuff that doesn't happen as often, like working on a live electrical connection, taking care of an injured child or pet - or actually using a very sharp knife to finely dice something - may be best with zero sound distraction.
What one chooses per group is, of course, highly personal. For me, the first times do OK with like this AC/DC tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAOj2eQQ14A ...For the easy rollin' chores, I'm just as "old fashioned", and like these two, first by the Allman Bros., second by Zac Brown, to wit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezPZxfS1jys ...

BTW, ya could also go for what to play AFTER the chore is done, and this one always works for me. 'Zep, one time:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lncr2g9XJHU

I definitely have certain songs that I especially love to listen to when I'm at work because I think they help me work faster and make the work day seem to go by more quickly. These are a couple of my favorites...
