Programming Music

The title is pretty self explanatory.

Lately, I've been listening to some OSTs of games I like, such as Cave Story, Zelda and others. Sometimes I indulge in some electronic/trance usually background music that doesn't have any lyrics. (I find it's easier to think without someone blabbering) And a lot of times I listen to nothing at all.

What music do you listen to while programming? (if any at all).

a year ago i really liked to write with "Rocky horror picture show" and frozen soundtracks, then i liked the doubleclicks, then jonathan coultun for a while.
If I'm really trying to focus on something, it needs to be music without words. Usually classical. Yo-Yo ma channel on Amazon Music is what I have been on lately. If I am doing system admin stuff then I can pretty much listen to anything, that is isn't too slow... I like a station called "Alt+J" lately for that kind of music.
I've been listening to Kaki King recently http://www.kakiking.com/
Pretty much a really skilled guitarist playing some really great guitar music.
Recently I've been listening to Carbon Based Lifeforms, particularly the Hydroponic Garden and World of Sleepers albums.

For a something a little more energetic, I like "DarkMix" on youtube.
