Call me crazy, but a lot of the software I've coded in the last years
was written with Gyorgy Ligeti in the background. I simply love the
Chamber_concerto_Ramifications_Quartet_no_2_aventures_lux_aeterna "Album".

His "Hungarian rock" however is way too distracting.

Debugging with Tom Waits.
..and if nothing else helps, I turn to Charlie Parker and Coltrane. The
latter are mainly helpful since I tend focus more on the music and not
on the other tasks: Take a step back and many things clear up.

I recently discovered Avishai Cohen - master of all bass syncopes. fi.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4kc0Aby2vA is very dreamy and gets me in
the right mood without distracting too much.

At one of my previous work-places we were listening to
http://monkeyradio.org/ (Hi Koen & Arnold) all day long while hacking.

Anyway, none of these are even close to The Prodigy.
If you want to stick to that style: go for Sepultura's Arise:
speed coding.

Cheers!
