Listening to music while programming

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Any string quartet by Haydn, Mozart, or Beethoven.

The Goldberg Variations.

Otherwise, a nice bit of outlaw Country (Waylon, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristoffeson, Steve Earle, Guy Clark, etc.)

For me, music is a distraction which saps some of my attention from coding. I prefer a quiet environment.

I've been listening mostly Silent Hill Ambience mixes and some lo-fi stuff without any words to keep my concentration.

Music is my life :) I always listen to music, if it's possible. I recently have discovered a band named Caravan Palace and I just love their music.

That's awesome, yet I prefer Enigma to Cyrus or Sheeran.
May God bless you as a holy programmer.

Enigma is a musical project formed in 1990 by Michael Cretu and his wife Sandra, who are both singers.
Some songs are actually peculiar to the ears of first-time listeners
Music is not only British, it may be also American, Canadian, Australian and so on.
Though Sheeran is quite new to the music industry, I still prefer new age music to rap.
Will check out Taham soon, shukran. Sorry if I don't know Farsi, Arabic seems easier to me.

@TimothyARyazanov Persian and Arabic are a little similar today, but completely they have different base. When Arabs attacked to Iran and took it, Persian has mixed with Arabic. Now we use Arabic alphabets to write and we have many Arabic words in Persian.
Taham has some Russian friends I think one was Kia Violla. They sometimes work together. For example chorus of "Dibache" is Russian and is sung by Kia. Dibache means preface and is first track of "Degaran Tribe" mixtape.

Farsi had a different structure until the abjad was introduced by Arab crusaders.

Depeche Mode mostly...

I used this book to learn programming back in the ‘90s and in it, Jason Holborn suggested Depeche Mode’s Songs of Faith and Devotion as good coding music... and the band’s music just stuck with me.

I suppose I'm a bit late to this thread, but I listen to emotional music when I'm debugging in the trenches. Helps me "feel" the code more or some bullshit like that.

Haha, I listen to music about 80% of the time I spent working on the computer. When I'm not listening to music, it's usually because I am watching a video. It's rare for me to sit in absolute silence. I like most of the styles, with more preference to trance, EDM and stuff like that and very few exceptions. I am no really into rap or stuff with little melody.
