My Denon amp and Bowers & Wilkins speakers are usually used by my kids watching tv in the mornings. /sarcasm

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Hah! I was going to mention that one - I used to wake up to it every morning when I was 18-19.

Usually any old thundering Delta Blues tune will do. Not the phony stuff that passes for R&B nowadays. Give me old school stuff from Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon etc. I especially like Steppenwolf's version of "Hoochie Coochie Man"[^]
Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

Yeah, thats my kind of music, good old thumping blues/rock. I have a great heavy version of Boom Boom by Hooker that also excellent.
You must like my choice to I guess?

Oh heck yes. Thorogood's among my favorites.

A couple years ago, my kid did a project on Muddy Waters for school, so being the responsible parent I took him to the Blues Heaven Foundation[^] at the site of the old Chess records building in Chicago. Where I talked with Willie Dixons grandson, and played his bass for a little while, it was pretty darn cool.

I wake up to talk radio.
At the time the radio starts up (5h45), there is a song that is playing, but it changes every morning.
I'd rather be phishing!

My favorite is my vibrating wristwatch. Tried waking up with music, failed. When music plays, I integrate that into my dreams instead of waking up.
|

Ah, OK. I wake up when I want, but love this tune to crank up first thing when I make my green tea. Really kicks the day off with a smile!

The only time I've used an alarm clock in the last 25 years or so is when I'm traveling and I have an early flight. I despise alarms of all shapes and sizes.
I get migraines  , and one of the keys to managing them is ensuring I get enough sleep. If I need to sleep in an extra 15 or 30 minutes in the morning, I do it. As it is, I'm usually the first one in to work at 7:00 a.m or so.

Pretty much anything by Sully Erna and Godsmack will get your blood moving, but this is my favourite:
Godsmack - Drum Battle - Sully Erna vs Shannon Larkin (HD)[^]

I rarely use alarm - flexible work hour I suppose.
Alexa waits me up when alarm is necessary.

Don't need an alarm clock, dogs and cats are on that. But just in terms of getting the mood up getting your steam on I like Elvis Costello's "This Year's Model". IMO it's one of those rare albums where every track is great. "Pump It Up" however is a shot of pure adrenaline.
