This is an interesting topic, for me I have found the best music is the most chaotic and fast paced. Something about the pure raw aggressiveness works for me.

Genres like Black/Death Metal, Breakcore, although I also like Darksynth, Witchhouse etc...

Wow, glad to hear I'm not the only one. People think I'm crazy and don't know how I can concentrate, but when I really need to focus and get some programming done quickly I throw on some speed metal and just cruise.


+1 on team aggressive music / calm concentration :-)
