Songs Not to listen to when you work for a bank

When I worked for Schwab, I used to commute into San Francisco on BART. I'd hop in the seat, plug in the iPod and generally be pretty happy. Come up in downtown, grab coffee and a bagel and head to my generally non-descript office in a generally non-descript office tower. Over time, I noticed that there aren't many "bank appropriate" songs, but there are plenty of "bank innapropriate" ones. A brief selection of those:

NOFX
- The Decline
Rage Against the Machine - Down Rodeo
Aesop Rock - Coffee
Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance
Bad Religion - Do What You Want
Bebel Gilberto - pretty much anything she sings will make you wish you were someplace a bit more tropical
Black Sabbath - Iron Man
