What music do you listen to while you code?

[pigling]

haha, finally someone really raises this question.
For me, previously some Korea pop but currently i think it cant make me peace of mind. So i change to classic.

old green day

[BrassApparatus]

I can't listen while I code but I can while I research and read. I mostly listen to Ska or Dubstep while reading or working on resources.

Not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, I didn't find the link to it when I searched through:

http://musicforprogramming.net/

I especially like the tracks from the first two "episodes".

Other than this, it's deadmau5, Kraftwerk, Gary Numan or classical; pretty much anything non-lyrical or I tend to focus on the songs words instead of reading, which gets frustrating!   

[greenOwl]

Tech/Deep House like

Nothing with too dominant vocals or complex rhythms because that distracts me!

Dead silence.

[kpars]

I normally like something REALLY soothing, and then when I get tired, I listen to some old fasioned boogie woogie stuff!

Here's some great programming music:

Fun fact, the gamecube menu music is actually the famicom start-up sound slowed down 16x!
This music haunted me as a kid, but is still really amazing to listen to

I am usually watching the tv when I code so not a lot of music here.

I am usually watching the tv when I code so not a lot of music here.

How does that work?  It sounds incredibly distracting.

[Phibedy]

Mostly I am listening to MrSuicideSheep: http://www.youtube.com/user/MrSuicideSheep?feature=watch
Just press play and enjoy a lot of music

Coding is usually done during commercials until I get into a groove then forget about the tv.  Goes back to watching tv again when I can't solve a particular paroblem.

[Sammidysam]

When I can't solve a problem I stick at it and can't leave the computer until it's either solved or I am pulled away from it.

It gets annoying.

[ReBirth]

When hit a problem, I will silence the music and go out walk for little. I am listening while doing obvious things.

This is actually really good stuff! Hard to find good trance these days, everything's dub step.
I like 'terminal technicality' the best so far...

[mrdeathjockey]

I tend to listen to non-lyrical upbeat music, or ambient ones depending on my mood...

For upbeat ones I listen to:

• Rez (High Contrast Mix): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRLNyyD0sf8
• MitiS - Endeavours: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgokaw2ZOoA
• MitiS - Written Emotions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEsV2z1ymh8
• Deadmau5 - Veldt (Ok there are lyrics but its still livable): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiUAq4aVTjY
• Deadmau5 - Some Chords: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__2ABJjxzNo

For ambient ones I love microscopic music

• Gas - Microscopic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvTe1-a6Pdo
• High Skies - The Shape of Things to Come (Osmos music): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Uy5gQ9Y1Xo
• High Skies - Earth at Night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2HbLk116m0
• High Skies - Sounds of Earth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNBg7S8DCYw

These are just some of the ones I enjoyed the most.

[princec]

I listen to High Skies all the time! It's just wonderful.

Yep indeed, the composer is indeed prodigious!

[heisenbergman]

When I'm coding and I have a relatively clear idea of what I want to do and how to do it, I listen to post-rock or ambient or some instrumental metal genre like atmospheric sludge metal or progressive metal without vocals. I don't like hearing songs with vocals when working on something. It distracts me.

But when I have a bug/problem to solve/fix, I prefer dead silence.

[badlogicgames]

Reggae.

Maybe I prefer dead silence because my code is all bug :-(

[kpars]

You need some great boogie woogie when coding!

Old fasioned boogie woogie and r&b music is great when coding, constant foot tapping!
Look up some BW and R&B on youtube, you'll find some really good music.

[ItzKR15]

Mostly classic, or obviously THE MATRIX THEME TUNE!   

[kpars]

The music that instantly makes you feel like a hacker who knows everything about programming
