Usually I don't actually listen to music. I found letting myself focus without anything taking my focus away actually makes me more productive. I am a heavy rap/hiphop listener so for me it was a major distraction.<p>I have nothing against music with no vocals though and have found plenty of happiness from Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. It's a timeless piece of art. A more contemporary artist whose music doesn't take anything away whilst coding would be The Weeknd for me.
