Personally, I go for breakbeat, old skool trance (Germanic Trance circa 1990-96), Experimental Techno.
And yes, listening to the same thing puts me in likely the same mood.
Somewhat related: I've found audio of rain, wind, chimes, rivers, but never any ambient people noise--i.e. groups walking around on the street and talking in the distance.
Everything else is distracting. Apocalyptica is a favorite for coding, but anything that fits (a)/(b) would do.
Trance. Put on a 5 hour set, and youre good to go.
btw, this set by Gareth Emery is amazing http://www.dropbeatsnotbombs.com/2011/11/tatw-400-live-sets-...

Outside of that, anything techno-trance or industrial works. I definitely don't like too many voices, it's distracting.
Generically speaking, people are easily distracted by the human voice. Therefore anything that has no vocals should lead to less distraction and more focus. This doesn't affect ability, only focus. Personally, I go for breakbeat, old skool trance (Germanic Trance circa 1990-96), Experimental Techno.
