Songs for a data center playlist?

I’m compiling a playlist focused on data centers. Currently, I have songs like Get Off of My Cloud (Stones), Electric Feel (MGMT), The Blackout (U2), Night Time in the Switching Yard (W Zevon) and a few from Blade Runner and Tron Legacy. What would you listen to while working in a data center?

Diablo 2 soundtrack.

Some synthwave for that Blade Runner feel, and just about anything by Machinae Supremacy.

I think you need some soothing sounds of Marvin Gaye. Keep those racks and servers calm!

It’s All About The Pentiums by Weird Al.

Seriously though, I tend to just listen to the music I normally do, I don’t have a specific IT playlist.

Queen, the Beatles, U2, Creedence Clearwater Revival. If I was personally working there I’d definitely want to hear some Taylor Swift!

I’m with you on the Tron Legacy soundtrack, basically Daft Punk. Checkout the Random Access Memories Album as well.

It doesn’t really suit in terms of vibe/aesthetic but Rack city by tyga you know… because server racks

Given some recent cooling problems I had in one data closet, this one is appropriate:
