I'm sure you all have your playlists you jive to while you're 'gettin it done' 9-5 everyday. I myself prefer either classical stuff or a bit of acoustic rock, and will most definitely crank up a little Rage Against the Machine for important deadlines. When in doubt though, I often find myself going back to the always fresh sounds of Citizen Cope. Although he boasts quite a collection of successful albums, the one that really got my musical rocks off was 'The Clarence Greenwood Recordings." The grooves are very hip-hop oriented but other influences of reggae and blues can certainly be detected.
So what makes an album good to listen to at work? I have thought about this quite a bit because for some reason I can't focus while listening to certain artists. My personal conclusions are that the music has to be:
-chill/relaxing enough so as not to increase your stress
-not the softest of soft because you don't want to fall asleep
-have a good beat/groove to contribute to the rhythm of the work
Citizen Cope seems to do all of these things for me, and so I recommend getting into
your workflow with a few tracks from this shiiiiiit: http://drop.io/hn3k8iz#
