This is definitely one of the areas that is to each his/her own. I found (the majority of) trance music superficial and get quite easily bored listening to them. Songs with lyrics messes with the language processing module of the brain and I don't want that kind of distraction. So I listen to classical, instrumental, OST and some techno (that are NOT tons of bass). Example of songs I am listening to now: Pierre Bensusan - Kourouts Nota (highly recommended) Eric Johnson - Gem Steffen Schackinger - On a rainy night The Glitch Mob - Animus Vox Klint - Diamond (OST from Snatch) Mirwais - Disco Science (OST from Snatch) Nathaniel Mechaly - Opéra (OST from Snatch) ... In case anyone is interested, this is my playlist on Grooveshark: http://grooveshark.com/playlist/Sen+s+Music+For+Coding/66931078 http://grooveshark.com/playlist/Sen+s+Music+For+Coding/66931... Again, music snobbery is one of the worst topics of discussion (I certainly don't want to invoke it), to each his/her own.
