When I code, headphones block out distractions and music gets me in the right mentality.
When refactoring or debugging code, I like fast paced with action-packed lyrics. Dragonforce Through the Fire and Flames, Darude Sandstorm, Linkin Park, Eminem Til I Collapse
When writing new code, I like slow paced with thoughtful or romantic[1] lyrics. Joni Mitchell, Mozart, Carpenters
I've also started to put the song on repeat on the background. I recommend ListenOnRepeat.
