Music and Growing?

So what's all of your experiences with music and growing the stuff, does it have any effects whatsoever? Or is it a big waste of time, and a potential giveaway?
MythBusters (season 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
"Seven small greenhouses were set up on the M5 Industries roof. Four were set up with stereos playing endlessly looping recordings (as having the Mythbusters actually talk to the plants could contaminate the samples with their expelled carbon dioxide): Two of negative speech, two of positive speech (Kari and Scottie each made one positive and one negative soundtrack), a fifth with classical music and a sixth with intense death metal music. A seventh greenhouse, used as a control sample, had no stereo. The greenhouses with the recordings of speech grew better than the control, regardless of whether such talk was kind or angry. The plants in the greenhouse with the recording of classical music grew better, while the plants in the greenhouse with the recording of intense death metal grew best of all"
I've been playing classic rock for kicks. :hump:

If you watch and/or read the Mythbusters findings - they determined it was the vibration - not the sound that seemed to affect growth.
