I found my favourite style for coding without thinking [1] is progressive rock/metal. My favourite bands of the moment are Haken, Devin Townsend, Liquid Tension Experiment, Steven Wilson (et al). Also aptly named is French band The Algorithm. Want more extreme ? Try Pryapisme. More Jazz/fusion-y ? Nova Collective. [1] as opposed to thinking without coding, which usually comes first and requires complete silence, paper and pen.
