Lately I've been listening Jack Johnson, but I like any kind of music.
I also love to dance Salsa :P

#12Favorites are Mozart, Brahms, Bach, Chopin, and Beethoven but like dfranke 'omnivorous classical' is a pretty good description. But I will pretty much listen to anything.
Some of my favorite performers are John Eliot Gardiner, Andre Previn, the Kronos Quartet, Cecelia Bartoli, Murray Perahia, Mitsuko Uchida, Emmanuel Ax, Alison Hagley, Bryn Terfel, and Yo Yo Ma.
And I also often prefer quiet when hacking, and only listen to music to drown out distractions.

#13Bonobo, Clint Mansell (The guy who scored The Fountain. Try listening to Death is the Road to Awe, it's worth your time), Talking Heads, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd.
I'll mix in some hip-hop if I'm feeling a burst of excitement.

#19While programming, I prefer either baroque classical music or weird glitchy sounding electronic music. When I'm not programming, anything goes.
Same here, but preferably Bach and preferably only 1 or 2 instruments. The Goldberg Variations by Glenn Gould 1955 is a favorite.
Or weird glitchy sounding electronic music. :)
