Usually silence, but when I do listen to music and try to work it's one of the following:

1. Final Fantasy, Video Game soundtrack, OCRemix, or similar (current favorites: Kindgom Hearts, Capcom Music Generation Family Computer Soundtracks, both Jet Set Radio soundtracks)

2. Pandora, my Quick Mix, which is basically a radio station for every band I enjoy old and new (examples: Tom Petty, Spoon, Modest Mouse, The Killers, The Beatles, Tokyo Police Club, TV on the Radio, and many more). I'm tempting to purchase the annual subscription.

I found this recent discussion on Reddit as a good resource for music suggestions as well (many mentioned that I had forgotten about):

It's still interesting to read comments, find new artist and even get the opinion of new HN-ers.

Also, it's kind of contradictory since while this question is on the front page, lots of people upvote this tired-of-this-question-because-it-has-been-asked-already-10-times comment.

For GROOVESHARK or THESIXTYONE users, it would be nice if you share your username. Mine is d0m on ts1.

I just assumed that if people are interested in reading this thread they'll also be interested in the large amount of previous posts asking the exact same thing.

Or maybe people just like telling others what music they like and aren't particularly interested in reading the same, I don't no.
