I have a beer play list that includes anything I could think of that is related to beer. Its got some george Thorogood ("one bourbon, one scotch, one beer" and "I drink alone"), The Doors ("Whiskey Bar"), some Irish pub music, The Reel Big Fish ("Beer"), Cream ("Strange Brew"), things like that.
 
I take back my first post, if it isn't silence...Three days grace...all of it. Flogging molly, chemical romance, stained, etc. all good
 
Here is some more Warren Haynes! Watch from the about the 6:25 mark to about the 7:40 mark - this stuff makes my wort boil if you know what I mean - even Dave turns to his drummer in amazement at about 7:40 :drunk::D

To top it off it's live in central park imagine that scene

I like rocking some old soul/R&B while I brew. Not really sure why...although my brewing buddy, who doesn't even like soul, now requests stuff like Sam Cooke while the boil commences.
 
iTunes radio. Baroque channel. It's usually on all day anyway. I could do without the organ music and the ads for stretch-mark cream, but the other 99.5% of the channel is excellent.
 
+1 on the dead. Throw in a a live show and get cooking....

If I want to mix it up, I listen to Pandora which plays me a mix of The Dead, Dylan, The Band, etc, etc, etc.

I agree. Brewing is a great time to be able to listen to a whole live show. I have to say that The Grateful Dead is my number one pick unless there is a Cardinals game on T.V.
 
Mojo Nixon, Todd Snider, Pavement, Wilco, Shins, Silversun Pickups, U2, Replacements, Geardaddies, Richard Thompson, Cracker.

Sometimes I will download an episode of The Sunday Session from The Brewing Network, throw it on my iPod and make it a total beer immersion experience.
 
Either the Dead or Phish.

Last Saturday I put on the Downhill From Here DVD followed by the Closing of Winterland DVD while I brewed my ESB.

Perfect music to brew to.
 
Nickelback ,Seether ,Metalica, Led Zepplin , Jethro Tull, Casting Crowns just to name a few....
 
If swmbo is home it's on CMT or E! TV, bleh and bleh. I can deal with country music, it actually grew on me after a few years of brainwashing, I mean listening. The E! TV I will never waste brain cells absorbing.
If I'm in charge it's either heavy metal/rock (rob zombie, metallica, pantera, jimmie hendrix, pink floyd, three days grace, etc..), or I catch up on my dvr'd Glenn Beck episodes.
 
Lately, I've been catching up on the archives of "The Best Show on WFMU" while doing any kitchen work (cooking/dishes/cleaning/brewing). It's very different from any other comedy radio show I've ever listened to.
 
Rush Limbaugh, so I don't forget to sanitize ( use Oxy....get it?)
Music?
Locksley
Motley Crue
Beatles/Stones/Dave Clark 5
Rev Horton Heat
Various....on Grooveshark.com
 
IF you jam while brewing?

I survive off Pandora.com and punch in Gov't Mule which makes for a real bluesy/jam band station that carries me through my brew day!

Well, I guess I'm just a stick-in-the-mud! On brew days I usually plug my iPhone into my computer speakers and open up my "Stitcher Radio" application and listen to the Rush Limbaugh podcast. He keeps me both pissed off and laughing for a solid three hours.

gotta give a +1 on that! Love my RnB. Generally though it's whatever im in the mood for at that day. I'm a professional musician, so sometimes it's "work" related listening (ie the score for the next musical im playing in, or a style im going to be working with for a while).

Alot of the time it's Funk, Afrobeat, reggae and jazz. I have a 1000GB hard drive full of music stuff. Generally gets a workout on brew days.
 
Last brew day was The Mission by Ennio Morricone. Previous to that was The World's Greatest Classical Album - Ever, and previous to that was Pink Floyd's Pulse. I have no idea what I'll be listening to the next time, but it had better be good :D
