Ron Brash: Fight It (We Got to Fight Today)

Ron Brash, director of cybersecurity insights at Verve Industrial Protection, listens to a broad mix of music. For getting in the hacking zone, he likes classical orchestral music, preferably a full orchestra as opposed to a soloist. And he really likes early jazz (yes!) from the 1920s and 1930s, complaining that much of the jazz played today doesn't really have the "swing" essential to good jazz.

Brash will also listen to electronic/trance music, punk rock, ska, and classic rock from the Vietnam War era. "I grew up with classic rock. There was always Neil Young and John Fogerty playing in my house," he says. "I'm not a huge fan of popular music, but I do listen to hip-hop."

Here are links to some of Brash's favorite tracks: for focus music: electronic/trance; for watersports and remedial work: punk rock and ska (Ron was a professional wakeboarder at one point); Vietnam-era music for casual work; random current artists; blast from the past (CunninLynsuists - rap); and an album he can't shake: Wolfmother's first album.
