Mostly some ambient or chiptunes, depending on the mood. Sometimes other stuff too, but it's without vocals to be less distracting.
Pendulum seems to have the repeatability and has some power tracks that make you feel like a god.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-pLVMQxS54[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmClmPjsfAU[/media] Suff like that.
Or stuff like this: [video=youtube;dVPF-lboK14]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVPF-lboK14&feature=related[/video]
My neurofunk, minimal and atmospheric Drum and Bass selection on shuffle. Example: [video=youtube;2sqhwoKfzrM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sqhwoKfzrM[/video]
Or melodical death metal. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b7C8vV7MSo[/media] Usually nothing though. Ambient is pretty cool too.
Oddly enough, I listen to music with vocals, preferably multiple layers or singers.

I loop this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAYhNHhxN0A[/media] And this one is awesome too. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaScyfSHc-Y&feature=related[/media]
I'm too lazy to go find songs I like so I usually just put on a random internet radio station on [url]www.shoutcast.com[/url]
I only have three regulars. The National's Blood Buzz Ohio, The National's Runaway, The National's Anyone's Ghost
You shouldn't listen to music with singing - it makes your brain want to focus on the things being said.

I loop this: [video=youtube;QP_rIAkb_v8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP_rIAkb_v8[/video] :v:

Eminem
I don't listen to music because it makes me think of freeman's mind's joke " who knows what programmers are doing"

[QUOTE=JohanGS;30953058]You shouldn't listen to music with singing - it makes your brain want to focus on the things being said.[/QUOTE] I agree that electronic music is better for this, but I mean, you should be able to focus on the actual task at hand (otherwise how are you ever going to be able to work in a corporate environment)

Usually some melodic metal, classical, Hans Zimmer. Been listening on [url=http://www.finalfantasyradio.com/]Final Fantasy radio[/url] for a while now.

[QUOTE=W00tbeer1;31003266][video=youtube;TS8q1pjWviA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS8q1pjWviA[/video] on loop[/QUOTE] I literally just nostalgia'd all over the place... I used to play that game so much! On topic; I don't usually listen to anything when I code, must stuff is really distracting to me. If I do listen to anything, it's usually really subtle ambient music... I can't really think of an example off the top of my head though :v:

I'm programming right now and listening to [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFdfN9KeSzs]Keiko Matsui[/url].
Mega Man 2 Soundtrack and a 2L Bottle of Dr Pepper solve all of my coding problems.
