A substantial chunk of code I've written in the last decade has been written to a Meshuggah soundtrack. I love the music, and find the more complicated time signatures (well, more complicated than 4/4, at least) interesting enough to keep me plugging away, while not getting tired of the songs the way I do when listening to more "traditional" time signature music. With any given 4/4 based song, while coding, I can handle maybe 10-16 bars of it before I'm hitting "next track". This, of course, means that every 20 seconds I'm not coding, and instead interacting with the music player, which is obviously suboptimal.
