Hmmm... top 3 is too tough, but I'll concede to top 3 for where my heads at today.

  1. Fela Kuti & Ginger Baker's "Let's Start" — this tune kicks off an excellent live album, aptly titled Live!

  2. I really dig working to the film director/composer of rad synth sounds John Carpenter's tunes as they definitely scratch that 80's itch. I totally relate to your line "It makes sense that synth/electronic music helps me (and many other people) do work related to tech, I guess!" I think it does! 😀 The theme for Escape From New York has been one of my go-tos recently. Here's a really cool live-in-the-studio version too.

  3. "The Man in Me" by Bob Dylan has been a regular for me recently as I'm learning to play this one. It's just a really awesome tune and it doesn't hurt that it was featured in The Big Lebowski — linking to the soundtrack because it's so good.

Yessss great list. The Escape From NY theme is so good and is perfect for this purpose.
