What, if any, music helps get you in your mode when drafting a survey? Jethro Tull's "A Passion Play" is one of my choices...
Just sayin'...
Tool - Lateralus :pissed:
Try
At the home page for Pandora, type in a song, or a singer, or a group, and the Pandora music Project, assembles music from the genre, and you have your own radio station.
IF you like a song, well, click the thumbs up.
IF you dislike a song, well click a thumbs down. It then is removed from your playlist.
Let me know how it worked out.

Drafting music-The Grand Wazoo....
...is what I would listen to, if I was you.

AC/DC
They make songs with good tempo so you can get in a rhythm.
I work in Cubicle Hell. I have a playlist on my iphone (labeled "Drawing") to keep out the distractions. Gotta start with some Bocephus to get started then keep it pretty mellow.
It just depends on the mood. I am solo, so when I have a ton of drafting to do, I grab the cd file, and thumb through it, pick out a good one, pop it in the pc, and crank up the volume. I have some pretty good speakers with a bass sub-woofer from creative labs, and they sound great.
My preferences are:
Contemporary Christian music
Country
rock-n-roll

Tool-- 10,000 Days get a lot of play around here. I keep coming back to old Van Halen, ZZ Top, Soundgarden, NIN and every once in a while I get on a Black Sabbath kick.
I am tuned in to this pretty much all day:
It is not oldies, it is not rap or ghetto music, just a great mix of good tunes. On the weekend, I go for "FUV Music," not "On-Air," but you may like the regular programming.
No commercials, just the twice a year fund drives.
Right now, I'm listening to Vin Scelsa's "Idiots Delight" in the Archives - if you know Vin, he is one of the great DJs - if you don't, you're missing something. But then, there are different tastes for different folks......

Anything by "Forking Tull, Man!!" is dandy for me. Locomotive Breath over and over again, for a few days anyway.
Anything by Miles Davis, the earlier the better. In fact I would vote for mandatory Miles Davis in all elevators all the time.
Herbie Hancock would be very good as well. Many genious musicians to pick from.
In the end analysis, jazz offers the most variety. Take the night train and don't look back.
Now I don't get to do to much drafting these days as I have two excellent draftsmen (not always but at this time they are both men) in the office. My drafting is mostly at home on the weekends and deals with road design, site design or SWPPPs. So to get into the drafting mode I listen to the seventeen minute verison of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by the Iron Butterfly with my head phones on and the volume up to just below where my glasses break. Ramped up and ready to draft it's time for Jimmy Buffett and Billy Joel (with lots of Downeaster Alexia) for the rest the drafting time.
