Discussion on: What's playing in your headphones while you code?

[Massimo Artizzu]

I've created several playlists, divided by genre, that I listen according to the mood:

• Rock (listening now - Queen, Muse, Foo Fighters, ...);
• Pop (Sting, R.E.M., Depeche Mode...);
• Dance/electronic (Daft Punk, Planet Funk, Fatboy Slim...);
• Classic (Beethoven, Mozart, Rossini...);
• Epic (Two Steps From Hell, Audiomachine, Hans Zimmer...);
• Celtic (Secret Garden, Clannad, Hevia...);
• Heavy (Nightwish, Rammstein, Within Temptation...);
• Instrumental/new age (Mike Oldfield, Vangelis, Enigma...).

Sometimes I also listen to noisli, or genre playlists (liked electroswing recently). I like to vary a lot, I just don't like rap/hip hop and dubstep.
