I listen to our local radio station. I always turn it on in my office, and if the boss isn't around the girls ion the main office tell me to turn it up so they can hear it too.

As much as I would love to throw my ipod on during work hours, I feel it is inappropriate to do so. I have co-workers that do it but I don't. I don't even read my book at my desk. I feel as if I am doing something wrong.

Considering that I don't work out in the public no more, I consider house work, work enough and yes I do listen to music. I listen to it so loud that the neighbors have called the cops. I tell them straight up that this is a free country and IF I want to listen to my music IN MY HOUSE loud, then hey up it goes. I have a tendency to be bad when I am cleaning my house. Hate to be disturbed by nonscence and bullshit.

Turn on, and hopefully hear it the rest of the day. The planes, x-ray machines, and tugs can get annoying. Especially the F/A-18 Hornets!

The music blocks out the sound of the idiots I work with wailing over their boyfriends, the latest shoe sale they missed and all the things they would not have to do if life were just fair.
Any music except polka

YESSIR! Usually R&B; and Jazz, sometimes Hip-Hop, but some Hip-hop makes it hard to concentrate on what I'm doing. I also listen to news radio podcasts a lot.

I listen to Z100 FM all day at work. It helps the day move a little faster!!! As for the music I listen too, I enjoy POP, Soft Rock, Jazz, Adult Contemporary, and R&B.; Additionally, I do enjoy some Hip Hop/RAP, but it depends on the artist, like LL Cool J.

Always, i don't like silence around me or the noise of other people coughing.
The type of music really depends of my mood, it's mostly something on my iPod.

The Nightwatchman, John Doe, Dave Alvin, Dinosaur Jr, -X-, Emmylou Harris, Apocalyptica, Rage Against the Machine, Soundgarden, Dead Can Dance, Sam Phillips, Peter Gabriel, Richard Thompson, Jeff Buckley, John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders, AACM, Fiona Apple, Lucinda Williams, Alison Krauss, Buddy Miller, Sunn, Neurosis, Cephalic Carnage, Daniel Lanois, and Kip Hanrahan.
Yes, it's eclectic!

Has to be very mellow guitar, classical or something like that if I'm doing office-type work. If it's housework or something like that, I love an energetic playlist.

Now, here's a puzzle for you. Although I am an agnostic, some of my favorite music is classical sacred... kyrie, chants, requiems, choral... very peaceful and relaxing... great for "thinking" work.
