    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.

      The "music" to Eve Online - works a charm to cut-out the office noise, and there are hours of it.

        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. :)

            Most of the time pop, dance, or electronica. Things that make me feel good and alert.

              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?

                    My missus moans because I'm not there, when I'm away at work, but when I'm home she just moans.

                    I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                      Silence. Anything else distracts me.

                        Whatever I feel like... Really just about anything. Currently I listen to quite a bit of experimental and psychedelic (black) metal like Aluk Todolo, New Keepers Of The Water Towers, Oranssi Pazuzu, Ufomammut, Watain... A while ago it was more electronic music, dance, trap, dubstep, but also trip hop and chill out. Sometimes just whatever, bit of jazz, rock, pop, what have you. Also currently on my playlist are Parov Stelar, Neurotech, Ghost, Igorrr, and even Babymetal. I'm not bound to any genre :D

                          The only way I can stop my Missus moaning is by having sex with her...no wait...scrap that.

                            Silence because when I turn music on, someone always starts talking to me.

                            I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

                                  I like to hear what the time to become more productive. But usually I hear: EDM, Rock, classic music and others. But never in silence.

                                    If it is too noisy from coworkers, I fire up the pink noise loop and imagine bacon sizzling in the pan.

                                        For me, Bach is best for getting into "flow" state when coding.

                                          You and probably 10,000 others are interviewing currently. They interview thousands of people because they people constantly quitting. Average person lasts year-18 months. If you make it to the onsite interviews its 5 or 6 in a row, where the people ask the same cult-like questions and follow up questions.
