There are a lot metal fans in here. :)

When I code, I listen most of time psychedelic 70's stuff:
- Pink Floyd
- Led Zeppelin
- Lynyrd Skynyrd
- Queen
- ACDC
- Black Sabbath
- Rammstein
- Robert Wyatt
- Renaud

Most of the time, I prefer early stuff... When band members don't 
die chocking in their own vomit or in an airplane crash, they 
tend to release uninspired music as they grow older.


So more early stuff (radio Moscow):

Protest the Hero is great; I was really into them in high school. 
Kezia is my favourite album of theirs.


Another great band is Dance Gavin Dance. They're one of those 
bands that has never produced a bad album (although some dispute 
that due to a change in lead vocalists for their latest two 
albums).

Nice to see fellow metalheads here. Here are some of my favourite 
bands:


Aghora
Animals as Leaders
Between The Buried And Me
Children of Bodom
Cynic
Dan Swano
Gorod
Iron Maiden
In Flames
Killswitch Engage
Kovenant
Lamb Of God
Lye By Mistake
Nar Mattaru (the Russian one)
Parkway Drive
Pessimist
Revocation
Son Of Aurelius
The Black Dahlia Murder

For me, good music is much like good code - technical and 
beautiful at the same time. And it so happens that metal very 
often matches both criteria. However, there are also some 
non-metal bands and artists worth mentioning:


Counts Of The Netherworld
Jimi Hendrix
KBB
KMFDM
Lindsey Stirling
Nine Inch Nails
Primus

 I'll have to agree. If I get interrupted 3 or more times in

scratching at the door, phone calls, or someone asking me to get 
them a glass of water because they don't feel like getting up) 
I'm ready to call it quits for the day.


 I don't really think I can stand to sit in one spot for as long 
as 40 minutes anyways. Maybe my chairs are too flat, but I end up 
shifting quite often or going to get a drink of water when I feel 
like it, rather than a mandatory every 60 minutes. I'll then 
wander for several minutes before finally going back to my chair. 
Being forced to reset or press play on a CD player is just an 
annoyance, I'm more likely to put it on auto-repeat, as I can 
listen to the same album several times or the same song for a few 
hours straight before I need to change it.


 There's always the possibility you won't notice the music 
stopped either and go for another half hour or an hour before you 
realize it, especially when you're in the groove.

Programmers should never listen to music generated by their computer,
nor CDs played in their computer. Programmers should always use CDs in
a CD player out of reach of the position for programming. Also the CD
player remote should not be in reach.

Every time the CD stops you get up change to a new CD and then get on
with programming.

If you are all neophyte and new fangled (and lower quality even than
CDs) restrict your MP3 or Ogg Vorbis player (not the computer for
programming) to one album at a time, and put the device out of reach.

Never put a radio on.

The point here is to get up out of the chair for at least 2 mins every
40 mins to 60 mins. For the really keen to stay fit and alive you might
want to do a few stretching exercises whilst changing the music.
Especially fingers. And neck.

I recommend "The eight pieces of silk brocade" qigong.

I know there's a Ghost in the shell but I can't seem to find a 
good ost of it quickly. I did programming for a while exclusively 
to it. so...


I'd recommend Bjorn Lynne music although I'd have to find good 
examples, although he has an official channel so he's easy to 
find.

I usually listen to several channels from somafm.com (depending 
on my mood) but for programming tasks I tend to listen to "sf 
10-33" (Ambient music mixed with the sounds of San Francisco 
public safety radio traffic) and latelly to "Mission Control" 
(Celebrating NASA and Space Explorers everywhere.", I find them 
very soothing.

Or classic rock like airbourne.

The harder the problems gets, the harder the music needs to be :) 
For hard problem, I suggest http://schizoid.in/ 's psychedelic 
trance channel.

When I was younger I could not start programming until I got some 
music going. Now I rarely ever listen to music while 
programming... I feel like it disrupts my thought process when 
I'm trying to concentrate. The exception is work where I listen 
to music to cover the noise around me.


If we're talking about the classics:

I also like to listen to fast, aggressive music while coding. It

And then there's vapourwave... I can't stop listening to this 
genre; I'm not sure what's so appealing about it. It's certainly 
easy listening for when I'm trying to concentrate.

I'm spared that because I listen via a Grace Digital tuner, recently bought to 
replace the ancient but much loved Turtlebeach Audiotron.


I do wish for a return of Jeff Gilbert's "Brain Pain" on KCMU which aired in the 
late 80's. He's the only DJ I could ever stand to listen to. His banter was as 
entertaining as his selections. Gilbert would sometimes appear as a guest star 
on "Almost Live". I'm surprised he wasn't more successful in showbiz.
