#37A little bit of everything...but when I really need to be productive I always put on the 'Tragic Boogie' album by The Life and Times.

It's been my go-to for 7 or 8 years now. Something about it just triggers the best of my skills to come out.

#38Digitally Imported has a very wide range of, well, digital music. They have some free ad supported streams but the annual cost of ad-free $70 is totally worth it in my opinion. My current favorite channels are Chillstep, Liquid DnB, Nu Disco, Chill & Tropical House. Various levels of repetitive bass to keep your leg and fingers twitching, and differing tempos to either raise or lower your heart rate, depending on wha…
In my case Classic and Psychodelic Trance helps. High BPM + no deep lyrics = key to victory! Listening DI.fm since 2005 :)

#39Generally power metal here - Nightwish, Blind Guardian, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Angra, Edguy, HammerFall, Manowar, Kamelot, older Sonata Arctica, Demons & Wizards, etc.
Sometimes I'll venture into some female-fronted metal bands like Within Temptation or Delain too.
Regular heavy metal also is always fine - Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, some Dio.
Dream Theater is also quite a great progressive metal band, as well as their side project Liquid Tension Experiment.
Some solo guitarists make some great stuff - one of my personal favorites is Kiko Loureiro (Angra, Megadeth).
As far as non-metal artists I'll listen to while coding, one of my favorites is Gary Moore - he was an extraordinarily prolific artist, one of the most genre spanning more mainstream artists I listen to. I also like listening to Kate Bush as well.
I've listened to music of a lot of different genres too outside those whose artists I have listed - this might not work for everyone though. If I'm listening to something I like, I'm happy and generally avoid being distracted.

I haven't been on di since the early 2000's. Glad to see it's still around.
