Share the music you like to listen to while coding… sometimes you might have specific tunes for certain types of coding.

I enjoy Andreas Vollenweider, Rush, Megadeth, old Dokken, and of course Iron Maiden. However, when I am coding anything that has multiple levels of state, I usually listen to harder stuff in my collection. I never rely on streaming internet radio because I depend on predictable tunes to stay in mental rhythm.
If I am architecting something, or setting up base classes before actual coding, I usually go with slower, mellow music just to keep myself from jumping the gun. It keeps me grounded and I don't end up getting too antsy and start coding when I needed to spend more time on the "foreplay."
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a God
Watch people's heads roll.
