#22Having listened to music mostly to block out background noise for a long time, I've recently discovered that listening to brown noise (such as at http://simplynoise.com) is great when I just want to focus.

#24I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember, so "silence" for me means non-stop high pitch ringing. Thus, I use Pandora just about every hour I'm awake and around a controllable sound source.
For coding I usually pick techno, electronica, soft rock, classical, or more piano/instrumental types. It mostly depends on mood. I tend to avoid things with lyrics for coding.
More specifically, I've been addicted to Explosions in the Sky and Trifonic for months now.

I listen to it all the time. It's wonderful. I used to listen to music, but lately I've realized that I'm not smart enough to think of two things at once.

#26True Love Waits: Christopher O'Riley Plays Radiohead
Alive 2007: Daft Punk
These two plus the aforementioned NIN Ghosts I-IV and the Social Network score are in heavy rotation.

It's all instrumental and is somewhere in between Explosions in The Sky and Boards of Canada.

#30DJ Girltalk or anything else I've heard a million times. The more I've listened to something the less I pay attention to the words and the more I let the beat take over...
