Do you listen to music when programming?
I find that classical music is great for concentration, but can lull you into a sleepy state if it's a graceful, smooth song.
That's why a song such as Aragonaise from Bizet's Carmen is a good choice- it has a rather upbeat tempo.
Military marches in particular are quite good because of the regulated beat and morale boosting effects.
There's nothing quite like elgar's ``Pomp and Circumstance''.
And of course, those loud, booming classical tunes like the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah or Ode to Joy by Beethoven.
Such a song should be saved for when finishing something, as you revel in your own glory and the code's magnificence.
The genre of ``Lolicore'' is quite good when you need to stay awake and keep your heart rate up, but it's a double edged sword- often lowers your concentration. I can't recommend it to amateurs.
But by far my favourite song would be the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky. The booming brass, the shrilling strings, the banging drums... it all makes for a brilliant background when you're finishing everything off, and it all works as expected.
Nightcore is just sped up music, and lolicore is just that with a loli image. I don't really see the attraction, though I do appreciate a fast beat.
I'd choose happy/UK hardcore over those any day.

Baroque, trance, house and other electronica. These genre provide rhythmic background noise that doesn't distract. I normally hate electronica but found it useful when programming.

There's a rumour that nightcore may have been created by people uploading music to YouTube and trying to get around the copyright detection by modifying speed, pitch, etc. Accidentally they found out it sounds better that way, and the rest is history...

We admitted we were powerless over dubs — that our lives had become unmanageable.
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humbly asked Him to forget all of our dubs.
Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

There is only one composer that should be listened to when performing intellectual tasks, and that man is Johann Sebastian Bach.

Anything that keeps me from thinking about managing my playlist. In the past, I listened to internet radio, but the only consistently high quality stream I ever found was Kohina†. Now, I pick a few good albums from an artist like minimal electric design‡ and let them loop for hours and hours.
