I love all the 70's rock from when I was in High School. I tell my kids that our generation had the best rock!

I listen to Galic Storm whenever I need to get crackin on the cleanin. They are an Irish group that I just love, I have all of their CD's and have seen them live three times! Hey Brenda, Drop Kick Murphy's are great to clean to! Kind of like cleaning rage music. I have lots of music and have a CD player in my kitchen and my studio. I listen to music all day long and change it to suit my mood or change my mood if the need arises. Right now I have Enya's A Day Without Rain on. I will share the words of one of my favorites:
Ever close your eyes
ever stop and listen
ever feel alive
and you've nothing missing
you don't need a reason
let the day go on and on
Let the rain fall down
everywhere around you
give into it now
let the day surround you
you don't need a reason
let the rain go on and on
What a day
what a day to take to
what a way
what a way
to make it through
what a day
what a day to take to
a wild child
Only take the time
from the helter skelter
every day you find
everything's in kilter
you don't need a reason
let the day go on and on
Every summer sun
every winter evening
every spring to come
every autumn leaving
you don't need a reason
let it all go on and on.
Why not go out on a limb, that's where all the fruit is! "Mark Twain"

I have Dish so I turn mine on to the satellite radio on Acoustic Crossroads. It's a mix of really good music. I leave it on alot during the day.

If it's a deep clean day I listen to the 1812 Overture complete with cannons turned up really loud followed by Bach Organ music which my son hated when he was little. He said it was like living in a horror movie! My daughter was just mentioning the other day that if she heard Bach organ music when she was walking down the driveway that I was going to get on their cases about picking up after themselves.....
If it's just light weekly cleaning I prefer Joni Mitchell, John Denver, Dugie MacLean or the Tannihill Weavers.
Blessings, Sheri

I'll have to listen to that Bach! I listen to all kinds of music,
when i clean and as i have a baking business, i listen to music all day, most every day.
I listen to Nora Jones (the fall), The Church - priests of Aura, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Crowded house, Beach Boys, My Morning Jacket - evil urges, 10 cc - Deceptive Bends, Crowded House, Vivaldi 6 concerto, Loreena Mckennit - The Visit, Allison Kraus, Kd Lang - absolute torch and twang, Lyle Lovet, Amy Mann, Sarah McClaghlin, Keene - Hopes and Fears. Anyhow those are the one's i've been listening to. I love listening to pandora radio also so i can learn about new artists. We are just music nuts. |

Anne That's Funny!
You could put on the songs from Paint Your Wagon when the cleaning is a little more normal and breezy. ;D
I listen to all kinds of music depending on the day Collective Soul, Waylon Jennings, Del Webb, Eurithmics, Peter Gabriel, C.W. McCall, Information Society, Jerry Reed, Taco "Puttin' on the Ritz" is a good one to get started.

My husband makes fun of me when I clean the house. I put my ipod on and sing at the top of my lungs. Sometimes we don't have the same taste in music so I just put in the earbuds and sing away. What I listen to depends on my mood that day. There are always show tunes involved. Lately I've been listening to the soundtracks from Glee. Punk, traditional country/bluegrass, good old fashion rock n' roll. I really love rockabilly and music from the 1940-1950's so that's always a must. Oh yeah, Willie Nelson-he is on heavy rotation. LOL!

Hi Everyone,
I like listening to alot of different things, depending on what type of cleaning i'm doing or my mood of the day. I think my "go to" favorites though "to get me going" are oldies rock, Chicago jazz, salsa/Latin, upbeat (heavy drum) belly dancing, and fast paced drumming music.
Now that I have internet at the house, I like to listen to Pandora.com, it's a free music genome site that allows you to pick by artist, song title, and genre of music. Say for instance when I am doing dishes and mopping, I can type in Chigago jazz and it plays bands and artists that are similar in style of music. Given that I never remember the names of the groups that I like, or keep up with new artists, this site is immensly wonderful.
Blessings,
Dawnia |

Johnny Cash is in the mix here, also Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. When I'm cleaning I like stuff that is a little more up-tempo. Pink Martini, a lot of bluegrass, Little Feat..... All those make the clean-up mix:)

I ALWAYS turn on the radio first thing in the morning...make me feel I am not alone in the house
So yes, when I clean I listen to music...all kinds. And when a fave is coing o, I turn the volume up and sing along on the top of my voice while vacuuming hahaha
