What's playing in your headphones while you code?

Usually heavy and high-energy. Usually metal. I put together some of my favorites albums and removed anything that wasn't high-tempo: open.spotify.com/user/mikengarrett...

If you're looking for somethign new, here's the best metal releases from 2016: open.spotify.com/user/mikengarrett...

Oh yes, metal, dubstep or anything high energy. An absolute must!

[Daniel Mason]

Exactly the same here. It works so well.

[TPiddy]

Agreed.... metal of all kinds, though I tend to shy away from doom/black/death...

[Brian Hanna]

Same here, preferably with harsh, mostly indecipherable vocals. Prevents me from getting distracted by the lyrics.

Frickin' Hands Up and Techno music at the time. Actually, mostly from web radio. Not even sure if I love it or hate it; they don't always play tracks I like. I'll definitely check out your playlist. Thank you!

[Andy Johnson]

Electronic. Dubstep, Trance, Techno, whatever. Lots of Lindsey Stirling, actually.

[Carlton Hanna]

I usually forget to put headphones on. Once I start coding time flies and I forget about music. When I do remember, I find music without too much lyrics does the trick. Mogwai is a good band to listen to.

[Ben Halpern]

You must not work in an open office!

[Jess Lee]

YES. Mogwai all day everyday.

[David Muckle]

Prog rock or something along those lines. So lots of Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, some Queen, maybe some ELP, and everything in between.

I recently got into the sound track from The Social Network movie and I find it to be the perfect mix of tempo for me. I definitely recommend it. Great sound track in and of itself, but also reminiscent of a movie all about building a pretty damn popular website.

[Tahini]

Likewise. Great choice for coding.

[Ashe]

Such a great soundtrack, I can never skip it when it comes on!

[Agustín Ventura Carrasco]

Great album, as almost any OST by Trent Reznor. I also enjoy listening to Lost Girl and Before the flood ones.

A mix of rap/hip-hop, heavy metal, and Polish pop music. Not understanding the language help a lot, it's like white noise

[Ryan Blume]

Hamilton. It's probably not the best thing for coding, but it's friggin' crack and addiction is a cruel mistress.

[Paulo H. R. Pinheiro]

Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and Itamar Assumpção.
