Music , Podcasts or Silence?

Electrons toiling away in their silicon prison cells. Their tortured cries could break you heart... I find it so hard to remain positive with them around.
They really should learn to conduct themselves in a more professional manner.

I prefer silence, but alas! The correct answer is: My colleague yapping on the phone! :sigh:

Silence, mostly. Or the screams of the damned. They are like music to me.

Music. Generally rock or metal. Podcasts/etc are right out because what I need is background noise; an actual discussion about something would pull my mind off of my work.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Well - for a fixed genre, I'd say seriously blue blues. Stuff where you know the guitar just squeezes like clay to make those sounds. On the other hand, bits of Workingman's Dead and American Beauty can really make the world feel good, too. And - in my current environment, I can have speakers instead of earphones. That, alone is a major plus. On the other hand, I'm currently listening to "My Fair Lady".

Silence mostly as there seems to be an uncanny connection between listening to music and incoming phone calls. How do they know??? :confused: When I do listen to music though, it's always prog rock/metal...currently enjoying the latest album by Spock's Beard. :)

I luckily work in a small office and am on my own most of the time, so I listen to mostly 70's, 80's rock, jazz, video game music. I do the odd .net rocks podcast from time to time.

When I'm heads-down coding, I usually listen to a few things depending on my mood. But I don't want the music to have lyrics. To me, that's distracting. I use the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones connected to an iPod nano. 1 - Classical/Symphonic Music I have a play list of primarily tone poem works like Respighi (Pines of Rome, Fountains of Rome, Roman Festivals, Brazilian Impressions...), The Planets (Holst), La Mer (Debussy), Also Sprach Zarathustra (Strauss), some other works like instrumental concertos. A lot that I can just set it and just let it play for hours. 2 - Spa Music from Kohler Water Spa Had this for years since my wife and I visited there in Wisconsin for our 10th anniversary. Loved the music. Bought the CD then. Have used it since. Very relaxing music to block things out. Link[^] 3 - Dixieland Music 4 - Light Instrumental Jazz 5 - Classical Guitar

Total silence, unless I'm working on something that doesn't require any concentration at all--then I may play some music. I actually want to pay attention to the podcasts I subscribe to, so there's no way I can listen to them while working. I don't subscribe to podcasts to provide me with some background noise.

I use an ipod nano as well, so do you leave your phone in the car or somewhere in your Desk to avoid further distraction?
