Okay, so before I start, I would confess that I don't listen to music for greater concentration, in fact listening music distracts me a lot more, b...

I listen to metal while programming. The beat keeps me motivated! Here's some of my favorites:
Power Metal
Black/Death/Thrash
Melodic Death Metal
Progressive Metal
Some additions for this list:
Ah, a man of culture! My most listened album at the moment is Limbo from the Portuguese band Gaerea
Looks like we got similar taste, I love anything Hans Zimmer. I don't think I've heard Batman before. Love tons of stuff to list it all.
Spotify:
Aah, thanks for reminding about TRON, amazing movie and amazing soundtrack
Agree w/ lo-fi 🙂
I'm a soundtrack addict, as well. My personal coding music preferences tend to come from James Newton Howard (all the M. Night films, Waterworld, Treasure Planet, Dreamcatcher), Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica, Black Sails, Cloverfield Paradox), Thomas Newman (Shawshank Redemption, Meet Joe Black, WALL-E, etc), Rachel Portman (Cider House Rules, Benny & Joon, Chocolat), Philip Glass (Truman Show, The Hours, The Illusionist), Danny Elfman (Edward Scissorhands, The Family Man, first two Batman films), and of course, Zimmer (Crimson Tide, Dark Knight trilogy, Spanglish). And there are the one-offs like K-PAX from Edward Shearmur, Finding Neverland, etc...
thanks for sharing, i would definitely try these
As a fellow developer I find instrumental music is really important when intentionally focusing.
I'm also a piano instrumental composer. I compose, play and record neo classical lite jazz and a number of my work colleagues listen to my music while coding. Give it a listen. Hope it helps you code. It helps me but I'm biased. 😀
soundcloud.com/crywolfe will have my complete playlist.
Beautiful piano work Gerry. Should try and get your tracks onto Spotify.
Thanks Luke!
I just added this to my Jan 2021 goals. It is now on my to-do list to get on Spotify by February 1!
Chillhop lowfi - it's fairly ambient music, little to no lyrics. I find it the perfect music to block out distractions and focus on work.
When I need to focus on coding I listen to music. It helps me keep the noise out.
But the most important thing is that there is no singing or words. If you listen to singing you want to hear the words and try to understand it, but you need to write something which is in your head and we, people, are not very good in multitasking.
So, I pick the most neutral Techno, Mostly any liveset from Charlotte de WItte will do.
just beats, no complex melodies.
I guarantee that you are in the flow within 5 minutes :)
yeah, u r right, that's why I suggested instrumentals only
I usually listen to these three YouTube channels:
Love this thread! Thanks! Saving it for music listening ideas later.

Links in the bottom of paulshorey.com/about
Yeesh.
J. S. Bach, 48 Preludes and Fugues aka Das Wohltemperierte Clavier. I like the Jandó recording on Naxos for the piano, and I'm a fan of Esafani on the harpsichord. This is thinking music.
Wagner, Der Ring Des Nibelungen. All of it, obviously, if I need to program for sixteen hours straight. I notice a lot of metal fans here so I highly recommend Siegfried.
Telemann, 12 Fantasias for Solo Flute. I like the recordings by Frans Brüggen.
Donnacha Dennehy, Tessellatum, a piece for viola, gamba and electronics. It's mad, you should listen to it.
Bop. A lot of bop. Bird and Diz stuff from New York. The Dial recordings would be a good bet.
The Passion of Reason by Dutch recorder trio Sour Cream. This is an odd album that goes from the late medieval to the Baroque, but really draws out the mad experiments with rhythm and pitch that went on. Oh and mixes it with bird song because why not.
That'll do.
The John Wick soundtrack can be quite excellent as well.
Yeah for sure. Here some of my favourites at the moment:
Uada (USA), Gaerea (Portugal), Negator (Germany), The Spirit (Germany), Night Crowned (Sweden). If you are also into Death Metal, maybe you want to give my band Malicious Curse a try (malicious-curse.de)
Hope you like some of the stuff, let me know 🤘
I love listening to Black Metal or podcasts when I'm working
I really like ambiant stuff :
loscil ( youtu.be/OxIlV2iOCyc )
How To Disappear Completely ( youtu.be/vRbamSB35eg )
Brian Eno ( youtu.be/S16pPTtR0As )
And more rythmic stuff :
Aphex Twin ( youtu.be/Aloryfd5ipw )
Ricardo Villalobos ( youtu.be/w82WpAd1xsU )
Any of the Skyrim tracks on YouTube by getkeypur and Jeremy Soule. Keep my left brain busy so my right brain can concentrate
I like to listen to music that is predominantly electronic instrumental. Drum and Bass, dub techno, ambient (FSOL, The Orb).
I like a lot of these, but one I didn't see listed is Stranger Things Vol 2
thats great too, I forgot why I forgot to add that

If you haven't played or don't know, you should deffo give the Firewatch Soundtrack a listen.
Jazz
Usually I don't listen to anything, but sometimes, especially if I need to dig really deep into something, this music helps me to stay focused as long as necessary.
My 2 cents
