I put on 60's songs when assembling a new retro.

I am midway through a XM177E2 and 'Pushin too hard" by the Seeds is on.
Ramblin Gamblin Man by The Bob Seger System, and Cat Mother and the all night Newsboy's ; "Good Ol' Rock and Roll" started it off.

Though R&R is the main preference, I find Sade my favorite while tinkering with guns.

Do you also light candles and vaporize aromatherapy oils?

probably.

Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" gets me through a build

No, usually the aroma of Kroil and WD40 permeates the air.
Shortly after which my wife tell me to shut my hobby room door.

Bob Seger System 2+2

My wife hates the smell of Hoppe's number 9 bore solvent.

I have a playlist for tinkering with retros.

Interesting... I can't work on anything with music playing, I need my full concentration.

I can't even drive or workout with music playing like most people do.

WAT???  No FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS???  

FIFM (Fixed It For Me), haha!
That’s how it is for me, anyway. Music is for relaxing and distraction, neither of which I want while I’m trying to do precise work.

I take this as a YES.

CCR Run Through the Jungle

Off the top of my head that one was missing.
