What kind of music do you guys listen too when you're coding? I need recommendations!

I can't do anything with English lyrics (other languages are fine. As long as I don't understand the lyrics, it's not distracting), so I usually stick to instrumental like animals as leaders, polyphia, Chon, etc or German metal: Rammstein, oomph, wbtbwb, etc

Whatcha guys got?

    I enjoy instrumental music, especially from epic movies. Such as Two Steps from Hell, and Immediate Music. I use this site often to find similar artists:

    I like video game music, a lot of it is designed as "background thinking music" so it works pretty well for me. I'll usually just pull up someone else's playlist of game music for studying, or search for a specific game's OST if I'm in the mood.

    some newRetroWave aka Synthwave music like lazerhawk, perturbator, carpenter brut, com truise etc. without vocals, also try The Fountain OST, it is magnificent piece of instrumental music.

    there is a programming music playlist that is nice - https://youtube.com/playlist/...

    If you like metal and video games, try Demetori, no lyrics at all, and if you like aggressive music try melodeathByCountries channel on youtube

    There's a guy name Stephen Muires who has shakuhachi music that he wrote. Shakuhachi is traditional Japanese flute.

    https://youtube.com/watch/...

    This is a youtube clip to his guitar music. I wrote to him and he sent me his shakuhachi music files. I find I can focus and be centered and clear and clean on what ever I'm working on.

    His email address wh. he has made public is:

    muires@yahoo.com

    I wrote to him and was very interested in telling him how much I appreciated his ability to blend original composition with traditional Japanese flute. He responded by sending me the files. I also gave him my word I would not pass them on, but he didn't seem to mind. I'd recommend this. Good luck.
