This is what I listen to while coding. Plug the iPod into my desk speakers, shut the door, and get to typing.  I like solid beats, predictable patterns, and lots of repetition to keep the monkey part of my brain satisfied while I try to concentrate. Some people can't work like that, but I've heard a lot of other programmers say the same thing.  Not sure how Breed got on the list but I know it always gets me going when I'm in a lull.

Sometimes I'll put on a punk playlist when I'm in the mood, but mostly it's this kind of stuff.
