If you listen to music while working, what are you listening to?

I can't hear words while I'm working or I get really distracted, so although I grew up on metal most of my working music ends up being classical music. Right now it's Rachmaninoff (Piano Concerto #3). My main rotation includes Beethoven's 9th, 4th, 3rd, 5th, and 6th symphonies. I wish I could listen to new classical music, but I can't disappear into my work while listening to new music. That said, there's nothing like a little Master of Puppets or Ride the Lightning once in a while as I'm working.

  I second this. While working, I particularly fancy minimalism (Glass, Reich, Pärt, Górecki), single-instrument compositions from any period, and string quartets. The more uniform the timbre of the instruments, the more it seems to melt into the background.

If anyone's looking for music recommendations, there's a site I recently launched, "If You Dig": http://ifyoudig.net http://ifyoudig.net . I don't mean to hijack the thread, but thought it might be of interest, since we've got musically inclined HN'ers here...
