Mostly music that doesn't have (much) lyrics. Specifically, some Infected Mushroom, Skazi, general psytrance radios on the web. Also some Moby, Fatboy Slim... But the best is definitely psytrance. Good psy music makes conducts your thoughts. You alsa have to know what to chose.
Stop looking at me like that >_>
I choose the music style according to what I feel like in a given day, but here are some favorites: Dark Ambient: Lustmord, Gustaf Hildebrand, Robert Rich "IDM": Aphex Twin(anything choosen from what I have) and Autechre Metal: Burzum(filosofem), Xasthur, and mostly atmospheric BM Industrial: Suicide Commando, VNV Nation, SPK (Fin)NRG: Alek Szahala and Nomic Classical: Bach, Handel, Liszt and Chopin Demoscene music:…
I prefer to listen to the same track over and over again. Sometimes I do this with a new song, and listen to the same thing for the entire day. I find this less distracting that listening to a radio station or a long playlist. I generally pick the song in the morning depending on my mood.
YouTube Repeater (http://www.youtuberepeater.com) is super useful if you're like me and listen to most of your stuff online.
Also, to answer the main question: Enter Shikari.

that´s funny. for me it´s just the other way round: if there´s music while i´m coding i can´t concentrate very well and always listen to the music instead of coding. :) but it´s possible that this is because i´m a musician too. i always wonder why i can´t blend it out while coding. (i can blend it out while driving a car e.g.) has anybody else similar experiences?
Yes. If music is on, I want to listen to the music. It's distracting if I'm trying to think about something else. An interesting exception is in cafés, where I'm fine to hack away as long as the music isn't too loud. One other point about music while programming is that it leads programmers to put headphones on, which I sometimes find detracts from collaboration.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Indeed. Can you list yours that I haven't listed already? One can never have enough. Edit: also, yeah. I thought my combo was pretty rare.
I mix heavy metal and classical. Which usually raises eyebrows.
