I find that coding to 'lounge' is pretty cool. It really makes you "plug in", music that's repetitive I find makes me concentrate more. Funny enough, some metal bands have a cool sound that makes me reach the same, state of mind, if you know what I mean...

If I'm a little worked up abut a project and need to relax a little I like to listen to Bryan Adam's Spirit Soundtrack (yes, the movie), if I'm down and I need a little inspiration for a project I listen to ACDC's Iron Man 2 …
Jump to PostI want absolute silence. Trying to write code while listening to anything is just too distracting because I tend to listen to music and not pay attention to what I'm coding. Its a little like trying to code while intoxicated. Can't be successfully done.

Umm... Bach, Thelonious Monk, that sort of thing. I'm a musician, I need something chewy to distract that part of my brain.

Depends on my mood.
If I'm a little worked up abut a project and need to relax a little I like to listen to Bryan Adam's Spirit Soundtrack (yes, the movie), if I'm down and I need a little inspiration for a project I listen to ACDC's Iron Man 2 Soundtrack, and if I'm in between (perfect coding mode), I like to listen to U2's War album.
I also like to listen to: POD, Evanescence, Metallica, Breaking Benjamin, and probably my favorite: Rage Against The Machine(!!!).

So very very true. I once worked with a C++ GOD who demanded absolute silence and zero interpretations. Ones personal choice is absolutely critical... I have always used full cover headphones and and volume that others cannot hear.
