I've recently started to listen to full albums of instrumental music and it has been great for my productivity. Mostly because I always had to switch artists and genres to not get bored, this doesn't happen with instrumental music, you can even play an album on repeat.

Although there are a LOT of great things around, a personal favorite of mine have been: youtu.be/IpPG3-2V1S8 and also youtu.be/FrwksKULOmQ.

And some Buckethead too!
