Hip-Hop (A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, Outkast, Digable Planets, The Coup)
The post-rock/instrumental stuff probably works the best since you aren't tempted to sing, and it helps to listen to something that is a little more repetitive.
- manvsmachine 17y agovery true about the post-rock (I listen to Mogwai while coding as well). I'd add movie soundtracks / scores to the list for the same reason. Still a huge fan of the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks, esp season 2, and pretty much anything done by John Murphy (28 Days Later, Miami Vice).
- owyn 17y agojust wanted to say: porcupine tree++. i do listen to a lot of post rock (mogwai of course, kinski, explosions in the sky, and post-metal like isis, neurosis, cult of luna). i'm probably one of the rare developers who listens to a lot of death metal though. the mathematical structure and intensity helps me get into that "flow state". a really nice set of studio quality headphones is one of those things that i consider a professional necessity.
- KiwiNige 17y agoOld Metallica always does it for me.... actually silence is usually better but I don't get that very often around my workplace.
- le_dominator 17y agoOrion is the goddamn jam.
- le_dominator 17y agoThe Code Of The Streets by Guru and Premier huh? You know how we do it!
- wkdown 17y agoTwo more good post-rock bands: ISIS and Red Sparowes I also like to listen to some down-tempo/electronic stuff like Thievery Corporation, Kruder & Dorfmeister and Sound Tribe Sector 9.
