#23I listen to either ratchet music or dubstep. Probably some of the worst music to listen to, but it gets me motivated.

#25I love heavy metal, but when coding I've found trance and upbeat techno helps me better. The tempo keeps me pumped up and the repetitive lyrics (or none at all) aren't as distracting as regular lyrics.
Astral projection and Tiesto are my faves.

#27I do, all the time. But it can't be slow music or it kills my productivity. And usually music that don't engage me too much, otherwise I end up singing along and loose focus. So something that serves as an awesome elevator music that falls in the background nicely. Mostly rock, salsa and techno.

#28Rammstein - mainly because my German is bad.
It is improving and I start to understand some of their lyrics what engages parts of the brain used for programming.
Time to look for something else to listen.

One was going to be a shorter playlist initially . . . so expect duplicate tracks in each playlist
