Spotify Playlists to help you work
If you’re like me you need music or a podcast on in the background to get you working. I had a job years ago that had a no music rule and as a result it was like working in a library, that job didn’t keep me for very long.
Over the years I’ve collected a fair few Spotify playlists that I like to throw on to help me work. My music tastes are fairly alternative but hopefully there will be something for everyone here, enjoy.

Alternative 70’s
This playlist is awesome. It’s a full decade before I was even born but contains some of my favourite songs. You’ll find bands like The Cure, Joy Division, Undertones, Iggy Pop and loads more.

Best of Alt
And finally it wouldn’t be right without sharing a playlist I’ve been adding to for years, Best of Alt. I know some friends have been playing this in their offices over the last few years to mixed results. You can expect a wide range of everything, from heavy metal to pop. If I like the song (or once did) it’s in there. You’ll find Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, Arctic Monkeys, Jeff Buckley, Idlewild etc etc
