I have a strange relationship with listening to music while programming. The music I choose can sometimes get me hyped up for coding. On other days, I would have to turn off the same songs because they would strangely make me lose concentration and focus. I guess I'm weird that way.
Anyway, I listen to a variety of songs, primarily those in the indie genre because I simply cannot stand mainstream pop songs. I have so much in my playlist that I'm not even sure what to answer when you ask me "what I listen to while programming".
In the general sense, I'd say I listen to a lot of orchestral music, instrumentals, indie pop, indie folk, rock (not metal), and a bit of electro. I especially like it when orchestral music and powerful choirs intermingle with indie pop music. The smooth sounds of the violins and the rather modern sounds of the drums mix together very well, and keep me hyped up for a long coding/debugging session.
If I were to recommend some music for those who share my music taste, The Family Crest is an amazing band that infuses orchestral music with a modern touch of indie pop. The vocals are really powerful, too, which makes it funner to sing to during those coding highs.
For those looking for a bit of rock with some nice string instruments, Vinci might be worth looking into.

It is really hard to find decent programming music. I guess it also depends on what you're trying to accomplish, weirdly.
I'm definitely going to look up your recommendations though. I'm always up for new music.
