  I listen to myself getting annoyed and shouting when a simple routine doesn't work properly! Other than that silence normally.

  Movie scores and/or classical music mainly. I find it much easier to concentrate with instrumental music as opposed to songs.

  I find anything by The Enid is good or maybe Antartica by Vangelis.

  Silence... That's all I can listen to when coding, otherwise I wouldn't have enough neurons left for the task in hand! :lol:

  I listen to kraftwerk, right now, computer world!

  
  Great choice I often listen to Kraftwerk too. I find when I'm programming I like to play instrumental (or largely so) music. If songs have a lot of words in them I dwell on the words rather than my programming which can be a distraction.

  I think on the last session I had probably these running:
  
  * Jonathan Coulton (JoCo Looks Back)
  * Laurie Anderson (Big Science)
  * Junior Wells (South Side Blues Jam)
  
  I suspect Rush may have made an appearance too.
