Would that Pat Benetar music be from the "Get Nervous" album? It took me about twenty years before I heard it and realized its fabulousness. Sorry to say I haven't gotten my own copy since then, but now that I can get CDs from the library and make MP3 files...well, thanks for sending me on that path.
As for my "power to work" music of choice, can't say I have same within the parameters you describe. I still loves me my Thos. Dolby "The Golden Age of Wireless" and "The Flat Earth" albums, and eighties music or movies--teen comedies, mostly--are terrific background noise, especially when I'm working on a novel that opens in 1985. "Star Blazers" on DVD, or SF movies when I'm trying to write SF. Ray Harryhausen movies have given me a couple of awesome ideas for my own (non-SF) projects. And as a lover of cocktail jazz/lounge music, I'm soon going to try Esquivel, Martin Denny, Herb Alpert, etc., to see if they help as a soundtrack for my creative work in general.

But I'll try some Pat Benetar too, thanks!
