Personally, if any, I like to listen to SMILETRON – doesn’t take much of your focus; long monotonic and good to listen to, or without.directive – awesome compositions with a genre mixture I haven’t heard before.
Hope this isn’t too off-topic :P

Liquid drum ’n bass is what works best for me when working

Warren Zevon is a very nice person to listen to, as well as the soundtrack from Croc 1 and Croc 2. They aren’t fast-paced and won’t make you code like a code monkey demon, but you might optimize things more.

I don’t like to have music in my ears while programming, somehow it breaks my concentration. This, on the other hand, helps it. Go figure.

I put on stuff like this. Makes me feel like what I’m making is better than it actually is. ;)

Anything electro related. I usually either download my music and use foobar to play through it, pandora or youtube.
I’ve been listening to a lot of Vocal Trance by Eminence podcasts recently though.
That’s not to say that sometimes I don’t like to listen to music, especially when I’m concentrating.
