Everyone in software development seems to thrown on headphones, fire up their tunes and crank out code.

My boss loves to blast big hair 80's bands.Music and work doesn't mesh for me
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.Turn on, tune in, work (comment type of music)
I like lots of different types of music: from rap to classical to christian to.... anything, really.Turn on, tune in, work (comment type of music)
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, tune in, work (comment type of music)
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!Turn on, tune in, work (comment type of music)

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.Turn on, tune in, work (comment type of music)

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.
