So here I am with a glass of red wine about to start cooking. Music to cook to - in favour at the moment are seventies rock bands, or bands that sound like seventies rock bands (L likes to wash up to Oasis for some reason, but I was never a big fan of the northern monkey boys, I agree with Bjork, she said something in a documentary once like 'you can hear in their music they think Britain still has an Empire...')
So, tunes du jour that I like to cook to -
Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Down By The River
Queens of the Stone Age, Autopilot
The White Stripes, The Air Near My Fingers
and also, Santana, Oye Como Va.
It makes the food taste better. And you?

I have all of those tunes close at hand I will have to try cooking with them.
I like something dense and repetitive. The 3rd Velvets album is quite good.
I like cooking with Wilco, The Mother Hips, and Elvis Costello.
I think it was Nick Hornby who pointed out that Santana would sound brilliant, provided you excise that horrible lead guitar (which is, of course, precisely the bit that Mr Santana plays).
I like cooking to Radio 4 comedy panel games. Not that I'm insufferably middle-class, of course.
I cook in deafening silence. Otherwise I get distracted and set the building alight.
Nice to have you back Miss Anne. I like cooking to radio - anything really except anything MC'd/pirate radio. It makes me feel flustered and annoyed.
Bad Sarah
I like something soothing like Ennio Morricone - otherwise I am liable to chop some of my fingers off.
Cooking with Wayne 'The Train' Hancock - but taking a break for the soup to cool.
Sweet Home Chicago (BB's version)- obviously resisting playing air bass guitar on the spatula unless wearing a wipe clean apron.
Anything by Bob Marley -great rhythms also good for stirring.
Public Enemy. Also works well for washing up.
Sorry for late reply, Blogger up to its old tricks.
Good choice Billy, inspired by your choice I'm off to download Some Kinds of Love right now.
Welcome Calista! Calista, you too cool for school.
Tim, I used to mock my friend Emma for listening to Radio 4, (sorry Em) until I started listening and realised it was made for me. Why can't everything in the world be like Radio 4? It's so very civilized and nice.
BiB - hmm, I get you - maybe it's for the best that we don't drive.
Thanks, Bad Sar. Big shout going out to the Farringdon massive...
Wyndham, Morricone's particularly good when you're cooking spaghetti. (sorry...)
Hi Arabella! I'm not familiar with his work... will check it out.
Señor T - do you also wear dark glasses when cooking?
The Curve, Public Enemy? A leftfield choice.
Today I listened to The Divine Comedy, The Four Tops and The Flaming Lips whilst cooking spag bol.
I tried to say something yesterday but blogger was being a bastard.
Eclectic and interesting, Realdoc. Don't pretend like you're not down with the kids...
Re: Radio 4 - it gets us all in the end. The Curve is still stubbonly resistant (mutters about middle class southerners etc yawn), but I shall wear him down, oh yes, he will listen to The Archers...
