Strangely, listening to music has an opposite effect for me. I usually focus too much on programming when listening to music, so much that many hours will pass and I will not realise it. It was a good thing when I had an 8-5 job.

That's how it works for me, but only with the right kind of music.

Maserati very much reminds me of the music in the Death Note series.

I remember one of the Death Note OPs would always make me laugh. I only watched part of the series. Bet you can guess where I stopped Wink

Fight fire with photos.
I don't do any programming, but when I'm doing anything creative on the computer, I usually have Pandora on the Busdriver station.

Most music will distract me if I listen to it while trying to program, so I usually go for things without vocals. Just lately, I've been listening to NIN's Ghosts I-IV and Maserati's Inventions for the New Season a lot. They seem to be a good mix of energy and ambience.

Can't program without some Hilary Duff! Mostly I listen to rock or metal while programming though. Erm, not "screamy" metal, more like At Vance, HammerFall, Kamelot, or even Within Temptation.
Oh, and Mandy Moore - Only Hope, one of my favorites. Soft piano helps :-)

Reminds me that Edguy and Lordi are great programming band when you want to push out a lot of code (quality may vary Tongue)

Ah yeah, Edguy has some nice songs. Never heard of Lordi though, guess I'll look into that.

I don't listen to music specifically to program but I usually happen to listen to my spotify playlist if I do -> http://open.spotify.com/user/god0fgod/playlist/43aLhX8Rfrc4sGLlePag6U

I find it nice to code listening to soundtracks from strategy games, such as StarCraft or C&C series. Also, I've had a coding night with this looped: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ecvLRxb3MU
It was... Fun.
But usually I just put all the music I have on my PC in my player and set it to random.

As the topic title says - what music do you listen to while programming/developing things?
Seems like there are a lot of programmers/webdevelopers/etc. on here Smiley

I usually listen to music from Jamendo, specifically instrumental music. Especially Roger Subirana Mata, zero-project, and Filthy Kicks are some favorites I often have playing when working on things.
I also have the Trine (from the Humble Bundle) soundtrack playing now and then, but most of my music comes from Jamendo.
