I listen to a lot of different kinds of music. Typically not hip-hop or anything with a heavy beat. I also try to avoid lyrics if at all possible. I basically want something which can function as a sort of "white noise" and just be there. The goal of my music is to remove me from the world around me so I can focus on the code. In my opinion, music should be in the background, not the foreground. I have a few playlists here.

I also like to listen to things like jazz, classical, soundtracks, Hammock, or even search out music I've never listened to before just so it's something different. I also like to listen to music in languages I don't understand. Just a few suggestions ;)
