I only listen to classical music if I'm building to it - I don't want something that's going to pump me up with lots of adrenaline. I don't need too much distraction. Most of the time, I don't listen to anything, but I watch House, NCIS (on USA), TCM (Turner Classic Movies), or Spong Bob. I can't tell you how much House I watched while building my last X-wing kit by MPC. I loved it when they had the marathons on, I'd sit for hours while sanding, shaping, and gluing. Truly a great thinking type of show when you're in the mood for building non-stop.
