:thumbsup: Have you checked out Steven Wilson's solo stuff, particularly 'The Raven That Refused to Sing (and Other Stories)'? Good stuff! I saw him a few months ago in Pensacola in a club...small audience, but they put on an amazing show. :)

I've listened to some of his solo stuff, but like him with PT better. Would love to see him/them in person. If I would have known they were playing in Pensacola I would have come over, I'm in Jax!

What are you listening to while you code? TOBACCO - Dimensional Hum - YouTube[^] This album, right now. Tomorrow, something different
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
Celtic folk mixes like this one: [1 Hour of Scottish Music and Celtic Music - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMgQ7x2T9Yg) or easy listening from the chinese charts like this one: [Kristian Kostov - Live It Up (ft.Tifa Chen | 陳梓童) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhijsiOJikw)

i'm down with the message, but the genre isn't my cup of tea.

Well, my "cup of tea" is moonshine. :)
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I like Dance / EDM very very low in volume.
EDM is an insanely popular choice among the devs I know. I listen to TOBACCO a lot, they're sort of EDM'ish but more ambient than dance usually. Kind of a weird mix. And they're off beat a lot so you have to be good with that. Some people find that jarring

Generally a personalized Pandora channel - right now it is Pink Martini, Devil Doll, Squirrel Nut Zippers, and anything else I might have done a thumb up on lately
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

It depends on the day and the mood... last weeks have been epic music mixes like: this one[^] but I do like too: celtic, new age, electronic, deep house, minimalistic, chill out, lounge, jazz.... One thing is a must if it has to be during work time, it should have few or no lyrics (the voices can distract me) After work... my tastes are much much wider. I always say: Each moment has its music, and each music has its moment.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I don't. When I listen to music I tend to listen to the music. Which means I'm losing my concentration on the programming. But on my way to and from work I listen a lot to Schöngeist and Mono at the moment.

The Remixed album from Nicolas Dominique. It's melodic, powerful and with a total lack of lyrics, it doesn't distract me.

No can't do music and work at the same time. If the music is good then it will just take me over. Sort of wish that I had the skill to do this but alas never learnt it. It is either one or the other for me. That being said I did like your post so thank you. Never heard of Tobacco before. Now I have heard about 6 songs from this album. It is really interesting because at this moment I love it and hate it at the same time. Sort of thrown me into a musical cognitive dissonance. So I will have to listen to some more and listen more closely. So thanks for the post.

Ok don't laugh, but I listen to the Pitbull channel on XM radio. I do mix it up with EDM channels too.

Mostly things before the 80's. Everything from classical (for hardest problems) to Merle Haggard to Pink Floyd. Silence when the going gets tough. TOBACCO reminded me of an old transistor radio and trying to tune in an FM station that is between two others. It had some strange appeal though.

Studies have shown that listening to music occupies the creative portion of your brain leaving your work product lacking in creativity. If I am forging new code, then I prefer silence. If I need to drown out coworkers, I use a pink noise loop. If I am doing some mindless editing, refactoring, or re-org, then I want something with a quick beat to keep me moving fast. A nice merengue usually does the trick.

It varies. Sometimes I listen to movie soundtracks (mostly from John Carpenter movies like The Thing, They Live, etc.). A while back I played every song on my phone in alphabetical order which took a while (never knew I had so many different live versions of "Let There Be Rock" by AC/DC). I just started listening to the iTunes "Purchased" playlist. It's basically the history of every song I ever purchased from iTunes though I'm not sure how it orders the songs. I mostly like classic rock but I've recently gotten into some other newer groups/artists like Orianthi, Gary Clark, Jr., and Night Club.
