Hay Bach! Music in the OR!

Stanley F., a neurosurgeon I worked with always liked to hear "Baba O'Reily" during surgery - loud. Real loud.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@George-K several thoughts
they divided slow vs fast by bpm, > or < 80... without specific music genre. is a slow heavy metal tune the same as an upbeat folk acoustic tune?
secondly, this was breast surgery. for me, this is surgery which I can do almost without thinking, and have anything on in the background. aviation equivalent? auto pilot
up the ante a little to more demanding brain concentration, abdominal surgery, gall bladder, bowel resections, where its routine but theoretically can go south very fast, i can have music on but i prefer music that i "dont know" meaning it doesn't make me pick my head up and hum along. just background noise more interesting then the monitors beeping. aviation equivalent-landing
up the ante to emergencies. penetrating trauma? which thankfully i don't do anymore, don't take trauma call or really any call at all. i want quiet. words kept to a minimum for absolute concentration. aviation equivalent-emergencies, engine out, whatever
lastly-5-10 minutes faster surgery is statistically significant but clinically irrelevant.
that being said, i usually put on spotify or apple music compilations from the seventies or so.
sometimes just to freak out people i put on my military march sousa music for closing facsia and skin...nothing like closing to the stars and stripes forever....

Indeed. An ENT friend of mind, during a parotidectomy: "Hey George! Do you have any Sousa to make me work faster?"
Me: "No problem, Jim. Here's the Washington Post March."

Remember the band names? (I hate death metal myself but it's Power Metal-adjacent, so I know some bands.)
The guy who did my jaw surgery was a huge Dead-head.
