Software Developer and... I guess I do this Linux Administration thing now? Anyway, I couldn't agree more. I can work in quiet, but more often than not I like to have music playing just to block everything out and focus on what I'm doing. It's immensely helpful in our open office floor plan, or even when I'm just at home and my roommates want to have a lively discussion or play some of their own music. I don't think this is unusual at all; heck, my musical upbringing tends to mean that if there isn't music playing, my brain fills in the gap with one song on loop. Sometimes I need to switch the mental track, y'know?
